Based on adulthood events sequel, with flashbacks to their childhood, showing Losers as adults is going to be released in 2019. It (2017 film) Directed by, Andy Muschietti Screenplay by. Children are shown as Losers in this part which covered only childhood part and is about to be released on September 8, 2017. They try to rescue Bill's brother while trying to find the truth about shapeshifting creauture, which they call 'IT'.
His older brother is left distraught with his disappearance and unites with other six other outcast who had the same encounters with Pennywise, as him. The story starts in 1989 when a young boy 'Georgie', George Denbrough, disappers is found gone after Pennywise, a mysterious clown, suddenly arrived to their town. Though only the half of the book is depicted in this part and shows the childhoods events of the main heroes. It depicts the story of seven children being terrorized by the eponymous creature which plays on their phobias and fears, turning the children into its victims to hunt them as preys while being disguised. So look at IT as an extension of Goonies or Stranger Things, a PG-13 romp, not an iconic horror movie.A classic 1986 horror novel 'It' by Stephen King which was directed by Andrés Muschietti and named the same way, is being adapted in 2017. No good horror movie can get away by being light on scares, however good the characters and the script are. Director Andy Muschietti's earlier take on the genre- Mama, is a far better contender. Oh please, that would be laying it too thick. Other reviewers are putting IT right up there with other Stephen King adaptions such as The Shining and The Thing. It is a great example of how strong marketing can make mediocre movies look a billion bucks.
But for sheer impact, IT never reaches the highs it achieves in its first sequence. The movie takes place in a town where all the adults are essentially villains- so its not just the kids versus the clowns everyone else. A wonderful group of actors face off against Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and they all nail their parts. It all seems very easy for today's generation to figure things out- most of IT establishes this narrative. We are used to kids doing stupendous stuff these days- whether running billion dollar companies, or bringing back lost souls from other dimensions. Probably so because today, we are used to Stranger Things. Juxtapose that with an eternal evil shape-shifting entity who wakes up every 27 years to prey, and you have a shawarma of a plot. In IT, King reversed Spielberg's E.T, and explored everyday monsters of childhood- abuse, violence and neglect. His stories are studies on relationships rather than all out horror. But that is what typically Stephen King is all about. But is more funny than terrifying- it's R rating more a justification of teenage slang in the script, rather than for true scares. The cinematography is great, the pace is even and the CGI is flawless.
All the kids are well cast, the script is funny and tight, and there are plenty of monster shots. A bunch of kids, outcasts in their own right, being terrorized by an ancient demon that plays upon the fears of its victims is pretty much the standard in Hollywood horror movie territory. I mean it was a good movie, no doubt about that. So I went and saw IT, and came back unimpressed.
