The perfect balance of jumpscares and eerie scenes combine to make a genuinely scary movie. There are a very limited amount of jumpscares compared to other horror movies. Although they are still there, it is good to go to if you do not like the sudden pop ups of most horror movies.

The movie does a great job at showing the friendship of the group and how they are loyal to each other such as when they need to enter a house where they believe the clown lives. The boys encounter a girl named Beverly Marsh who everyone has a crush on during the film at some point and this situation creates somewhat of a conflict between the group.

The clown has special abilities where it can turn into the children’s biggest fears. The children at some point realize what is going on and realize they need to put a stop to it.

Comparing the the original “It” movie, the new film has much better special effects, as most would assume, which leads to a more immersive viewing experience. The clown in the new version is put together a lot better because of the makeup job, the actor, Bill Skarsgård had done each time he filmed. He had a fake and much larger forehead along with advanced makeup techniques. When the clown attacks they add effects like flashing lights as well as Pennywise’s mouth opening drastically when he eats his victims. All of this adds to the movie and keeps viewers on their seats.

Consisting of lots of action, plot depth, horror and the perfect amount of humor, “It” has 4 out of 5 stars on IMDb making it a great movie that is recommended by critics everywhere.
