Not even the jump scares
Some iffy CGI
I wanted to see this film after I read the book in October. And for a film adaptation, it wasn’t half bad. Sure there were things obviously different from the books and they have set it out differently to the book. But all things considered, I enjoyed watching it. I just felt that for a horror film, it wasn’t that scary- not even the jump scares and Pennywise- he is legit scary in the book. Also, I thought the film would have been better if they kept some elements from the book in the film too, like Maturin. On another plus side, the acting was done well.

Ok scary tales film
I missed this at the cinema and caught on Amazon prime last night. I thought it was going to be an anthology of scary stories. It's more of a few mini tales set within the main plot of the whole film. I enjoyed it and at times it felt a bit like @Creepshow (1982) or @Trick 'r Treat (2007) The overall feel of the film was similar to a Stephen King short story. Only downside it isn't that scary, maybe why it got a PG-13 rating in the US. If you like ghost stories check it out but it won't give you sleepless nights.

Great film, scary story.
All in all, a highly satisfactory film experience.

Ok, so I found a hidden gem on Hulu called "Slumber" starring Maggie Q. REALLY good, creepy, semi-scary movie about sleep paralysis. Great horror flick. REALLY worth a watch!

Expected this to be a little scarier than it was, I did literally laugh and lose my shit when the father’s face imploded. 💀

Pretty scary, full on blood scenes.
Simple story in reality, but a horror packed movie.
Stopped a generation of kids swimming in the sea!

A very poor British attempt at a Slasher film. It's not scary or gory and the acting was not very good. Only the location was the only interesting thing about this.

I was pleasantly surprised by this short story. I couldn't put it down and wished it was longer. It left me feeling like I had just watched a really good scary movie.
