It works well as a roll call of childhood fears.

Doesn't cut very deep and isn't very scary.

Horror's power here does not come from monstrous imagery, but from the encounter with evil... Muschietti seems to miss that, going for teeth over terror from the get-go.

"IT'S" bark is worse than its bite.

It makes me nostalgic for when I used to get scared by movies because I don't anymore... But man oh man, It captures how it feels to be a scared child.

The movie is not terrifying but blandly edifying; its scares, foreshadowed as if by telegram, are delivered less effectively than its life lessons.

It's such a great performance that you wish Muschietti had eased up on the CGI and just let Skarsgård do the talking.

A respectable addition to the King cinematic canon.

Muschietti serves up yet another tale of a group of misfit BMX kids riding around a small town America trying to solve a mystery.

This new It has more on its mind, and gives more body and voice to King's ideas of childhood anxieties and the corrosive power of fear.
September 10, 2017
Another Stephen King novel made into a film that looks good but fails to deliver the chills his readers must have felt.
September 08, 2017
Even those unfamiliar with the book might wonder why this kids-only manifestation of IT feels strangely toothless on the horror front.
