'It' raises goosebumps-and brings out the stars. Harry Anderson, Dennis Christopher, Annette O'Toole, Tim Reid, John Ritter, Tim Curry and Richard Thomas star in this thriller about a malevolent force in a small New England town. Amazon.com: Is there anything scarier than clowns? Of course not. And who knows scary better than Stephen King? You see where we're going. It puts a malevolent clown (given demented life by a powdered, red-nosed Tim Curry) front and center, as King's fat novel gets the TV-movie treatment. Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed, but an engaging Stand by Me vibe prevails for much of the running time. The seven main characters, as adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in their Maine hometown. Now, the cackling Pennywise is back, and they must come home to fight him--or, should we say, It--again. Admitting the TV-movie trappings and sometimes hysterical performances, this is a genuinely gripping thriller. As so often with King, the basic idea (the bond formed during a childhood trauma) is clean and powerful, a lifeline anchored in reality that leads us to the supernatural. --Robert Horton Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Stephen's King It This is the most horrific movie that I have ever watched. It is the cause I hate Clowns eversince I was young.. Go watch.. If you dare... Haha... Rating: - "We" used to love It when we were children I loved It as a child... I found It scary... but that was 18 years ago when It was new back then and I was around 12 years old. Then I read the novel 4 years ago. I watched it again and found it quite different! The acting is bad, the effects are stupid (ok, maybe because it was for TV and made in 1990) and all in all it doesn't compare to the novel by any meaning! Maybe it's the novel that made me feel that the movie/mini-series is stupid. Surprisingly, when I told my friends, ...

This is one of the best books that I have ever read and was eagerly awaiting this adaptation. It doesn't portray the unbridled fear that the book does and the acting is average. I give this 3 stars, but the book is easily 5 stars! Rating: - Logical (and other) problems with "IT" I've got no problem with Stephen King. I read him like crazy back in the 80s and still admire him. The Shining, Salem's Lot, Misery, Carrie--all horror masterpieces of their era. I'm also not a snob who can't appreciate a good horror flick, or even a "good bad" horror flick. Love the Living Dead movies, and all the old giant bug movies from the 50s. But a horror flick, even a "good bad" one, has to make sense. It has to establish and follow its own logic to work. Actually, any ... Read More see more
