It 2017 (part I) and It part II Based on the novel by Steven King
Well, I should start this out by saying that this is NOT a movie for the squeamish. I'll elaborate a little later
Part I I think was not quite as good at the original movie when the characters were kids. But the new version is still very good. Part II when the characters are grown ups, Blows the original movie away, BIG TIME. This of course depends on your tolerance for the gross and violent horror movies. Me, I love it rough but this thing had me holding my breath. I don't recommend watching it right before going to bed. I had to read for about an hour before I turned out my light.
The production design, filming, action, quality of the monsters was top notch. The humor, tension, drama woven intermittently was done just right.
It has always seemed to me that horror movies lack that special quality reserved for mainstream movies. Not for this one. The sets and special effects were as good as it gets. This is easily the best horror film I've ever seen. What ever is in 2nd place isn't even close.
if you like the genre then I'd say take a look, if you don't then I'd say let it go.
