Good cast, makeup is really good, story does have some exciting moments (0 more)
story is very clunky in some places, not as scary as it could be, uncomfortable scenes for certain plot points (0 more)
I have read the book and the book itself is pretty good and has some great moments in it. I was curious about the TV show so I checked it out. It's not bad, but it's not as strong as it could be. Zachary Quinto does an excellent job as the villain of the story Charlie Manx and Ashleigh Cummings does a great job as Vic Mcqueen. The rest of the cast is good as well. However, the TV show concept is very clunky in places and in some spots is kind of boring. There were opportunities for it to be scary because Charlie is supposed to be scary, but it falls flat and sometimes feels tedious and causes the story to drag out. The age makeup they did for Zachary Quinto is fantastic and the makeup for the children is well done as well. Honestly, the writing for the show is pretty weak which is unfortunate for a story that is about a macabre and surreal story. This is a case where the book is definitely better.

There are some hilarity in this movie! Great acting and some sense of foreboding in some scenes. (0 more)
Not as scary as I hoped. (0 more)
Some hilarity and some scares!
Overall, great actors; they have portrayed as their characters really well. Pennywise was horrifying to look at! Hilarious movie (I know it's horror), but it does have some sense of foreboding and scares!

**Disclaimer-I've never listened to the podcast**
The first season of lore was fairly good, I've watched numerous specials on various hauntings/creepy stuff that stems from history, so none of this was new to me. The trailers were also cut to make it look creepy, when only one episode was truly disturbing, the last one, about the scary doll.

Not Horror, but pretty much the same effect
WHoa. That was all I could think while reading this. Whoa. This book covered scary topics that I can barely think about. It's kept me awake at night, and I could not put it down. An amazing book that everyone should read, and if not for leisurely purposes, for the educational reasons.

I've heard people doubt Angelina Jolie's acting talent over the years, but her performance in this would put any doubt to rest. No matter what you think of her, she puts in an incredible performance here. James Mangold's direction is great too and this is a movie that everyone should see at some point.

Eh
This movie was fairly boring. It had a little creep factor but a lot of predictability. The acting wasn't terrible and as it was not big budget the cinematography was done well enough. Though it falls under "horror" there's nothing really scary about it. The main protagonist seemed way too naive for her age. Overall this one is NOT worth a watch.

Interesting
I do not enjoy horror movies at all. It was mostly because of preconceived notions but now that I have seen it I am realizing maybe the scariness is all in my head. It has a scary affect to it but it is actually pretty good and well made.
