Film Journal 2017 (162 movies items)"My biggest gripe with "It" is that Muschietti showcases his fantastical monsters with the same methods as he does a .5 second New Kids on the Block -gag. If the movie had scared me once - and I mean that literally - I would be willing to forgive so much more. It's made like a movie intended to go at 110% in regards to the scares but struggles to reach 40 with the way they're shot. I can see why everyone loves the projector scene - it's the one scare with a visual twist and not entirely shot cent"
Horror movies - 40 years of remakes - (57 movies items)" Directed by: Andy Muschietti ('Mama') With: Bill Skarsgård Was the original - It (1990) - worth a look? Even though the directing and acting were nothing really amazing, it was still a fascinating story. Indeed, usually, I have a hard time to care about Stephen King's fantastic and horror stories, but this was absolutely a great story, easily one of King's best, and I might even consider reading the book at some point. And, of course, Tim Curry was just downright impressive and he delive"

Ja vedenpitävä todiste siitä, miten kauhuelokuvat on luotu katsottaviksi elokuvateatterissa isolta valkokankaalta, sillä en olisi jokunen kuukausi eteenpäin varmasti syttynyt tästä näin paljon kotiruudulta katsottuna. Tämä uudelleenfilmatisointi ei ole todellakaan mikään turha räpellys, vaan täysin onnistunut kasvojenkohotus alkuperäisestä. Siinä missä alkuperäinen minis"

2017 Movies I've Seen: Best to Worst
“To be incredibly pithy, you can call this Stand By IT or Nightmare on Goonies Street and find yourself in the neighborhood of what this movie is. I do not mean either of those descriptions as negatives, far from it. I thoroughly enjoyed and found its insistence on placing its tonal and emotional emphasis much harder on the ways childhood is made up of scars that last with us into the future and not on the scares was smart. One of the most enjoyable things about this film is how the ensemble of young actors, uniformly strong and tasked with some tricky material to play, makes us believe in their friendship, root and care for them as a both a group and individuals. Any adaptation of IT lives or dies on its ability to make us invest emotional with these kids, and any weak-link would cau” read more

It also suffered from the typical horror movie problem of wondering why the behavior of the monster changes. Obviously, the easy answer is because the script calls for it, but it lacks in in-story explanation. Same to be said for the kids deciding that they need to stick together, and then, almost seemingly on purpo"
