For the ones that had been living in a hole or in the woods all these weeks, "IT" has been finally released in cinemas.
But the question for the ones that have indeed been living far away from the world is: What is "IT"?
Well, for all the people out there that don't have a clue why everyone is talking about this masterpiece, today is your lucky day.
"IT" is a horror movie. The first version of "IT" was in 1990 (a really good version I must say, but nothing compared to the newest movie)
"IT" is based on one of the best novels Stephen King has ever written, and even if it's based on the book, it is not an adaptation, which means that some things have changed from the original movie and from the book.
What do I mean by this? For instance, Pennywise doesn't turn into a spider like he did in the first movie. Or his physical appearance is different as well.
The new actor that gives life to Pennywise is called Bill Skarsgård (I know, such a weird surname). You may know him from the latest Divergent Movie ("Allegiant") in which he plays the role of Matthew, or "Anna Karenina" where he plays Makhotin .
Everyone was surprised by the real face behind such a horrible appearance.
The story starts taking place in a small town named Terry in United States. It has five times the national average of deaths every year, but no one seems to do anything about it apparently (A/N after watching the movie I realized that no one did anything about the matter because they were terrified which it's completely reasonable, I mean...it's a gigantic clown that eats people!!!!)
In this small town, there are two brothers: Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) and his little brother Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott).
The problems start appearing when Georgie asks Bill to mak
e him a paper boat on a rainy day. He wants to throw it to the water in the streets to see how it sails.
Everything is sweet and perfect till the boat gets lost into a drain. That's when Georgie meets Pennywise.
And the nightmare begins.
