“It” was disappointing. Lots of cheap “real quiet then a sudden loud noise and something jumping out” shocks but not really scary in the sense of there being an actual hairs standing up s and of dread that I imagined. The kids are good in it though.

best horror movie I’ve seen in quite some time, perhaps a decade, is called “The Evil Within”, and it’s on Amazon Prime.

It was apparently about the childhood nightmares of some wealthy madman who obsessed about making a movie about them before he died during that 20 year long process from side effects from his drug addiction.

The movie is very good, it is dark and disturbing.

And the one thing that makes it work is an Academy Award winning performance by the actor who plays the main character, a “retarded” boy. His performance is so good that it just blows the mind to watch it.

I love a good horror movie, and I really hate a bad one. I have no interest in seeing “It”. I’ve read the book and seen the earlier movies, and meh.

That is a show I will never watch. I can’t believe the movie has made 177 million dollars and only made for 33 million. That is a huge profit and guess what? Conservatives are going to see it even though Steven King hates Trump....let that settle in the brain a minute.

I saw "IT" last weekend and I agree with your take, the acting of the kids was great, but the "scary" scenes were almost laughable. The book was definitely better, as usually the case. Not that the book is great literature or anything but definitely was one of King's better efforts. A good book for casual reading.

Wish King would stick to his writing and stay out of politics, which he is apparently totally clueless about.

I enjoy good horror, but I’m hesitant seeing movie that displays children getting their limbs bitten off in gory detail. I’m not sure I can endure that.

Most don’t know that in the book, the GIRL, cause she was a girl, had to have sex with the 5 (think it was 5) BOYS in order to overcome the evil.

Hope that’s not in the movie.

King is a vile sick ####.
