"This was Orson Welles? last chance to work for a major studio and it was all going quite well until they saw it and didn?t quite get what he was doing. But it?s an audacious film, with all of his usual signature flourishes. Prior to that period, he?d seldom had the opportunity to use the technology the studios had and so it?s an exciting film to see visually. Thematically, it?s very dark. At its heart it?s a Universal-International B-picture, which is what they wanted. Their reaction to it is fairly inexplicable because the movie is extremely entertaining and could?ve been promoted into a solid box-office picture. Instead it was released at the bottom of a double bill and they fooled around with it."

A silly yet fun and enjoyable comedy from the 80's. A typical comedy of the time, one for a blast from the past!

Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise
It’s way better than the miniseries from the 90’s.
I like it better than the book. Really.

I'm an 80's kid, and back then this movie was one of the best! Suspense, comedy, and on of the best soundtracks ever!
