The Octagon

Nope, nope, nope.
Will still watch and give myself nightmares.
But nope.
Really well put together trailer though, the cinematography looks spot on and the projector scene looks like a great scene.

Although quite long, the book was pretty good until it got to the child gangbang... "How can we make ourselves stronger to defeat the monster in battle? Oh I know! Let's all take turns to shag our female friend here".

You know I really don't remember that bit in the one I watched
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Oddly enough that particular bit of the book was not adapted for TV / Film.

I know there have been far more recent posts about the upcoming film on a different thread but thanks to the limitations of the search feature, searching for "It" is hopeless.
First reviews are out and it seems to be a like-it-or-hate-it affair. That's fine with me. Rogue One got the same kind of Marmite reaction and I loved it. Far better than getting a consensus 2-3 star rating across the board, which almost invariably suggests mediocrity.

Agreed. This film, together with 'Blade Runner 2049' and 'mother!' all have cracking trailers and I can't wait to see them at the cinema.the trailers have actually made me wanna go cinema

It's a very decent adaptation. I'm too old to suffer much in the way of movie scares but most of the audience were certainly affected.
It's absolutely at its strongest showing the relationships between the Losers. King's at his best with kids. Showing the real life horrors of bullying, racism and other stuff mixed in with a horror story, they find strength in each other and subsequently themselves. (Except for Stan of course.)
Pennywise is suitably scary, full of teeth and deadlights whilst occasionally mixing in some Sadako-like body movement.
It's not perfect, King is incredibly hard to transfer to the screen, but it's a top notch attempt. Plenty of easter eggs if you keep an eye out.
A new generation has been introduced to coulrophobia.

worked it out now!
I watched IT yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it though I do prefer the original probably because I watched it so much as a kid.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Just got back, and I really enjoyed that. A great piece of entertainment. Absolutely trading on that retro 80s thing that fuelled Stranger Things and nailing it completely.
I've never read the book, or seen the original mini series, so completely new for me. I thought it was a great fun 'horror' film.
I fully expect most of the cast to go on to great things.

This guy went to a cinema and there was only one other person in there...

This must be what watching "Back to The Future" felt like in 1985

worked it out now!
No-way I could have done that! I often go to flicks solo but don't think I have ever been fully alone but could not have gone solo to watch IT even though I watched the original many times.

Happy to be here
I think the staff who work there do it on purpose.
It was creepy though, I even sat near the exit.

Bringing YOU round.....
I'm such a wuss when it comes to horror, specially psychological. Every night when I go to bed I get frightened about ' it' and that's just from the tv adverts!

Already posted it in the Horror films thread but it deserves a repost here. The first teaser trailer of ‘IT: Chapter 2’ has just been released and it is very promising indeed. And one or two things shown are well fucking creepy, and all without relying on cliched jump scare scenes.
I’m properly looking forward to this
