There is a distinctly 80\u2019s Spielbergian vibe throughout the film, similar to Netflix\u2019s excellent <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, balancing terror with genuine emotional stakes for the characters as well as the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd does an excellent job in making the role of Pennywise the Dancing Clown his own. In a very chameleon-like performance, he\u2019s able to switch from comically goofy to alien and monstrous in less time than it takes to blink.<\/p>\n<p>Also worth a mention is Henry Bowers, the main bully and serial killer in the making who terrorizes the Losers at any opportunity he gets (and also is partly responsible for their uniting). In some ways, he\u2019s a worse villain than Pennywise because we\u2019ve all known someone like him who\u2019s made our lives a living hell.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to quibble with anything, it\u2019s that certain members of the Loser\u2019s Club aren\u2019t given enough screen time to get to know them beyond their given roles within the group. Characters appear then disappear for a while until they\u2019re needed again.<\/p>\n<p>The film is also less scary than I originally thought it was going to be and a couple of moments come off as more humorous than I think they\u2019re intended to. Or maybe I\u2019m just hard to scare. In some ways, it\u2019s more about the traumas of childhood and overcoming them than about a creepy clown who hunts down children.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, if you\u2019re looking for a film that\u2019s got both heart and decent frights, I\u2019d recommend it (pun intended).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Like Stephen King?
