Summary: Very Creepy!!!
Review: I remember when I was in high school almost everybody was reading books from Stephen King, so I give it a try. Since I was scare of clown as a kid clown still give me the creep lol, I red the book "IT" just the first one of the serie, it was kind of a big book and not really my type of reading, I think Stephen King wrote too much about no important things in his book but I sill found the book very good and the atmosphere in it was great, it was creepy and give me the chill.When I knew about the movie "IT" I want to see it, I finally got the chance to see it and it was very good, very smilar to the book, the same atmosphere. It's rare that a movie is as similar to a book, usually the turn out always bad but this time the movie "IT" was very close to the book of King and the movie is great but still a movie cannot always be as good as the book because in a book they can go deeper and get more details and in the movie they don't have time for that, that's why movie are not as good as the book. If you are a fan of King you will love this movie and if you are not but love horror movie well your going to love it too.

Summary: Beep, Beep, Ritchie!
Review: Do you remember everything that you were afraid of as a child? Stephen King captured the fears of a child in his classic book "It", while I have not read the book (no one has that kind of time on their hands), I enjoyed this movie very much. "It" has everything: blood, gore, skeletons, mummified creatures, werewolves, decaptitated heads talking, and good, old fashioned fright. The story revolves around a small town called Derry, Maine (which I'm not sure even exists), that is oblivious to murders committed by a resiliently hidden creature that occasionally makes itself visible as the dancing clown, Pennywise (Tim Curry). Unfortunately, only seven kids in town really know what's going on, and they're 12! Pennywise visits each of the kids and drives them to attempt to get rid of him for good. "The Lucky Seven" as they refer to themselves, go down into the sewers to eradicate the menace, and they suceed, or so they thought. Of course, as in most horror movies, the killer returns, exactly 30 years after the previous murders. A now middle-aged group returns to the sewers once again, and what awaits them would frighten the wits out of most anyone....

Summary: IT Will get in your head and drive you to a premature death
Review: ....PSYCHE! Ok, enough of that. I, like many other people, agree on the fact that the book is much better than the movie, and to you, young reader, if you decide to go ahead and read the book, then i suggest you watch the film first. Why? Because you dont know what you are getting in when you start reading. In my case, i watched the film when i was about 11, and it scared the hell out of me. When i read the book, at age 18, i was somewhat prepared for the story i was getting into, it was still scary as hell, and made the movie seem like a 2 hour Bozo the clown special on how to scare the hell out of annoying kids. Therefore i recomend you first watch the film, so when you read the book, youll get seasures instead of a big heart attack. See ya!

Summary: Just barely deserves 1 star!
Review: This movie starts out with a lot of promise, but is dogged by the same problem throughout it - its dual nature accentuates the weakness of half the film. Every second where the characters are children is chilling, unnerving and unsettling, with some sequences making you squirm and others making you jump. The child actors vary between average and excellent, and none of their performances detract from the quality of the film. HOWEVER, whenever the characters are adults, terrible acting, corn-ball humour and dreadful special effects "haunt" the movie far more than Tim Curry's clown. In fact, even the clown loses impact in these sequences, as Tim seems to have been given a script written by buffoons in these parts of the film. The dreadful special effects include the WORST disembodied head in film history - talking (wait for it) from a BAR FRIDGE! The acting is no better, with all the adults struggling to do anything with the very weak material on offer. And, since the ending of the movie, which entails (go ahead and read it, when you watch it it's less painful if you know how bad it's going to be...) a gigantic fake spider with glowing green parts and a gross-out fisting to death of this creature. Yes, this brilliant and mysterious clown that killed children and haunted adults was not some Gacy or some supernatural force, but A SPIDER!!! Give up on this movie before you start it. I wish they had done this movie only with children - it would have been creepy and unresolved. Unfortunately, like most of Stephen King's movie adaptations, it has a dreadful ending and camp acting. (Kubrick seemed to be the only director who has enough of a brain to convert text into images well, and he's gone now...) I might attack this film with a Digital Editing suite to make a decent project out of it, but in the meantime, put it on your avoid list.

Summary: Scared me witless and I loved it!
Review: This book of Stephen Kings' is quite old now and I 'spose most folk will have heard of it, so much so that a review on it's contents seems meritless, only I can't stop myself.
IT was the scariest book I had ever read and retains that accolade even after all this time. I felt for, I liked really, I empathised...sympathised, cheered on, laughed, cried and messed my pants for the characters in this story.
Then one day 'they' made a film of it (Tommy Lee Wallace to be more precise) and I rushed to see what 'they' would do with my friends the characters. Would it be sanitised...how could they do the storm drain scene...questions questions...I was not disappointed...not even a little bit. Awesome scary story that I love followed by; ditto on celluloid...Well done indeed.

Summary: One of the better adaptations...
Review: The problem with Stephen King is that his books rarely get translated to film very well. Certainly not at the level as something more simplistic, like Harry Potter. But for the adaptations done so far, this is definately one of the better ones, with The Stand also showing that miniseries are the way to translate King's vision to celluloid. IT has a masterful performance by Tim Curry as Pennywise. Although many aspects of the book have still been left out, and some things changed, the story manages to contain much of the essence of the printed page. Certainly better and less cheesy than some of the more horrid "Based on a story by Stephen King" material, like Maximum Overdrive or the unfortunately rather B-movie-esque Christine. I only hope than when and if The Talisman gets done, it does a better job than all the rest.

Summary: SCARY!!
Review: How about we skip the book and just watch the movie. The book is to long and not enough scares, this one has scares through 95% of the movie. After you see the movie, then read the book. Tim Curry is SCARY in this movie. This terrified me as a kid, and it scares me today. It has managed to scare me 6 times! The production values are [flimsy] but that's saying alot because most of the big budget movies lack a little thing called plot (XXX for example.) Rent or buy, I don't care just see it. For those of you who thought Scream was scary, don't see it, this movie would traumatize you.
