Rating: - I enjoyed the first half, but the adult scenes often got on my nerves
I watched this film twice, and the first time I forward wound through the horror parts because I was on my own! This meant that it wasn't very effectively scary the second time I watched IT, but I still enjoyed the film... up to a point! The first half was great (people have said the acting was wooden but how old were all the actors? About 14! I thought it was pretty decent) but the second half...

The thing that bugged me was how the first half seemed to be the children, and the second ... Read More

Rating: - Fantastic
This film requires a slightly sick mind but is a fantastic film. It's pure evil and has the perfect evil figure in it. I would recommend this to any horror movie fans. A classic film from Stephen King. A slightly disappointing ending but otherwise a top film. I will always have a fear of clowns now and avoid them if I see them. Listen to the drains if when you walk past them on the street. You may hear an evil clown laugh!

Rating: - A reasonable effort and quite scary in places
A first came to watch this in a 2 parter shown on tv and agree with other reviewers about the poor second half and dissapointing ending. I have not read the book but shall do asap.

I did think however that the film in general had some good acting generally, especially from Tim Curry who made a creepy and well acted performance as Penny Wise. I also ... Read More

Rating: - What a waste
Stephen's King's book is a masterpiece of horror writing. It scared me senseless the first time I read it and the story was so compelling that I have read it a further three times since.

So to see a screenplay done of the book in such a pitiful fashion is a travesty.

The interaction between the characters, how they all bond is rushed and you're left feeling confused. Their own particular encounters with Pennywise have also been changed, for the worse. In the ... Read More

Rating: - Great film right up until the last ten minutes
This film is some of the greatest horror work to date in parts, and is equally an abomination mankind was never meant to suffer at others.

The film is basically split inot two halves the first half showing us the history set back in 1958 when the main characters of the film were mere children. It shows there normal lives growing up dealing with their parents, going to school and yes indeed battling a centuries old evil clown by the name of pennywise. This section of the film is the bit to ... Read More
