Something different
A decent mix of thriller and Horror as 2 kids pay a visit to grandparents they have never met before. There are a couple of scenes that will give a chill down the back of your neck. The only real downer was the finale was a little weak. With all M. Night Shymalan films though you know a twist is coming.

Brilliant 3riller
This could of gone so many ways, people had all kinds of expectations but in my view it delivered, there were thought provoking parts of the story and the absolute put down of the modern day super hero in a world that is super obsessed was just right.
Casting was perfect and the intense suspense elements were done in ture creepy junpy MNS fasion.

Meh
I was hesitant to watch this because I thought it looked like another cheesy horror movie. It was, but not too terrible. The acting was mediocre, the film work and effects were run of the mill horror movie stuff. The story was just ok and a little predictable. If you're bored and looking for a few creepy moments and a couple jump scares, this is worth a watch.

2021 | Crime, Documentary, Mystery
Normally, Netflix's best content is their true crime documentaries... Between this one and the Hotel Cecil one, they're definitively going downhill.
This one just put me off, it wasn't really all that engaging, and it was a little boring. The Night Stalker is one creepy dude, and that's what kept me watching.
Overall, it was unremarkable, non-engaging, and a little bit of a waste of my time.

Movie Favorite

"A shadow of a man turning around a corner, casting itself so tall it reaches beyond the roofs of buildings; endless tunnels underground broken by the white light of arched openings, and the creepy and mocking music of the zither. The Third Man is a noir archetype. Orson Welles is only present for about a quarter of the film, and he still manages to take it over complete"

Highly unlikable characters. (0 more)
I loved this book and thought the Audible narration was creepy in all the best ways. Unfortunately I found that I didn't care for any of the characters and would have been just as happy if nobody made it out alive at the end of the story. Probably the only book to actually get under my skin in years - so that's a major positive.

In a Dark Wood I'm a huge fan of Josh Lanyon and whether it's a long story or a short one he always manages to draw you in. This was no different, though I wasn't expecting it to be so creepy.
 
I really like both Luke and Tim and can't wait to see what happens next with these two.

An unnecessary sequel
Yet again this is another sequel that was entirely unneeded and unnecessary. Whilst the original wasn’t brilliant or a classic, it was at least very creepy and bleak, and the ending was quite interesting and what i found the scariest thing of all about the entire film.

Sadly this sequel fails because it mostly ruins the ending of the first film. It’s initially more of the same but set in a trailer park, with characters who make some very dodgy decisions that wind up getting them hurt/killed. It’s quite bloody and gory at least, and still kind of creepy, and it has a killer soundtrack. The two kids do fairly well, and as with Hard Times at the El Royale, Lewis Pullman really shines and he makes this worth sticking with. The ending however is a little lacklustre and is just your typical horror movie ending. It wasn’t unusual or creepy and bleak like the original, and this is such a shame. Had they improved the ending, I may have rated this a little higher.


Edit 19th Aug 2020:
Having just rewatched the original, I has to return and rate this higher. Not only does it have the killer soundtrack it has some great performances and is a lot more entertaining than the original. There's still a lot of stupidity in this, but it's definitely the better of the 2 films.

Well, now I'm going to have to check out the soundtrack.


I adore Bill Pullman and if his son is anything like him, he's full of great potential and I look forward to seeing his acting skills.

The ending from the first movie really stuck with me. And by stuck with me, I mean terrorized me. How disappointing that this one doesn't stand up to the first. I would have been surprised if it had.

Thanks so much for your review!

The friendships, the movie was creepy and disturbing. The way Pennywise moved and spoke. Felt very Stranger Things inspired. (0 more)
Wasn't as scary as I thought it would have been. (0 more)
I didn't want it to end
I love Horror so I was really excited for this to come out. I didn'y really know what to expect as I haven't watched the original 'IT' yet, or read the book by Stephen King, but I knew the basics of what this movie was about.
I loved the way this film makes you feel and the style of it, it's not like all other horror movies out there. There is a bit of a Stranger Things vibe to it, which I loved.
I absolutely adored Pennywise in this remake, I loved the way he moved his body, it added to the creepyness of the film.
I found it more creepy and a bit disturbing than I did scary, there was one jump scare that got me though.
