Movie Review by Kyle C.

It (2017)
Rated R, 2 hours 15 minutes

IT is a horror movie surrounding 8 kids who overcome their fears to defeat a killer clown who terrorizes their town every 27 years. In the beginning, Bill loses his little brother Georgie from Pennywise, the killer clown, who kills Georgie. This leads to Bill trying to rally his friends and form the group “The Losers Group”. Together they go around town and eventually they find Pennywise and in the final battle, they overcome their fears and defeat him. The movie ends with the kids making a blood oath and promising that if the clown ever came back, they would come together and face it again together. 

The theme of the movie I feel is to overcome your fears. Pennywise is a shapeshifting clown who can turn into whatever you are afraid of and this makes children easy prey for him. The camaraderie and togetherness of the Loser Club develops throughout the movie and there is even some romance involved as well. The movie is well made and does a great job of scaring the viewers. The actor of Pennywise does a fantastic job throughout the movie and for any horror movie lovers, this movie is a must watch. (8.5/10)
