What Could Appear by Puddle Of Infinity
This is why the new film works despite it not being as scary as people expected it to be. The drama and camaraderie between the kids is so strong that the horror elements are really just there as dressing.
Adriano Vazquez Scared the fuck out of me. But I also did laugh, funny thing is the funniest scene is because of something Pennywise did.
I laughted at Pennywise mocking the kid breathing problems. Also that random dance.
Oh yeah. I walked out of the theatre thinking it wasn't really that scary but it was a great movie on its own. Like I wouldn't recommend as a great horror movie, I would recommend it as a great movie in general. It breaks free of its genre while still maintaining some satisfying horror elements.
Scared the fuck out of me lol, and I'm not really afraid of clowns either XD
lolI found it scary enough to kinda get my adrenaline going a little bit, but I was mostly just invested in the characters.
It bothered my dad, though. XD
This is going to sound so weird but I'm happy that Stephen King isn't afraid to kill off kids. I'm so sick of movies, TV shows, and books that avoid this, simply because it's not real. It's not realistic to make kids immortal because kids aren't immortal, kids can die and I don't think it's wrong to kill off a child character in a story, if it works for the plot then do it.
@ I guess it's because, to most people, kids and dogs are essentially sacred symbols of purity and innocence. Having a child or dog die is a visceral attack on our perceived idea that they can do no wrong. Not to mention that if innocent children and dogs can be killed, what hope does that leave the rest of us who know that we've all done something wrong in our lives?
I understand where you are coming from Maria, but personally, I am one of the people who find killing off children extremely triggering. I'd rather stay away. But that is just me.
@@ravenvixen7903 I just stop watching whatever it is when they kill the dog
You can kill off any human or animal except dogs and cats that’s all that matters
Some films, that don’t fall in this trap: The Blob(1988), Maximum Overdrive(Stephen King story, and directed by him), Pet Semetary(King again),
Halloween 3, Jaws, Mimic, It.
Should of maybe mentioned how IT has a Return Cycle of 27 years.(approximately) So the kid's see It in their childhood and then 27 years later they come back to It as Adults. Now in real life, 2017, it has been 25 years since the O.G. movie and the cycle is repeating. 1st half being 2017 and part 2 being 2018. It's a cool way of actually doing a remake in my humble opinion.
Niche Carved it's been 27 years, the original was released in 1990
Niche Carved Its not a remake though.
Humberto, Any movie that was already made, and is remade in the future is very obviously a "remake" I mean come on dude...
Dankeus No, this new movie was the FIRST film of IT. The 1990 miniseries was basically a tv show.
Humberto Duran Ok well you got me there, you're technically right
Dude, seriously, all of your content is amazing. Definitely going straight to your patreon now.
Hate how people are calling this movie crap because it wasn't scaryyy enough. I never took it for being a straight horror movie. I always saw it as a stand by me with horror. Bunch of nerdy underdog kids growing more sure of who they are and overcoming their fears with the help of eachother. The creepy atmosphere was exactly what I wanted. I didn't want a serial slasher clown killing everyone until someone finally overpowers it. Besides some of the meh Cgi I completely enjoyed the movie for what it was.
@James Currie the book doesnt make the movie more or less scary??
Astay 214 tbh I don’t get how people can say the movie isn’t scary. It’s actually a very good horror movie, and I’m one who hates shit like jumpscare-filled movies. And this movie doesn’t really have many jump scares, and the jump scares in it are motivated, they’re not just there randomly and for no reason. Andy Muschietti did a great job and most importantly you can feel the love he has for the source material through the movie. People hating on it are just ignorant of horror while shitting on everything just to pretend they know anything. It’s pathetic.
The marketting for IT always focuses heavily on Pennywise himself so it can throw people off when they go in expecting a pure monster movie from start to finish and instead get something akin to the Goonies or Stand by Me with a clown in it. Pennywise is easy to sell, there's a lot of merch for him and he's an easy character for people to cosplay as the stand out memorable thing even if you've never actually seen the movie but know it has a creepy clown in it.
Well the first time i saw the movies it was terrifying now not much.
The 1990 version is much better and actually scary.
I heard the "fatality" at 1:57 you sneaky devil you!
Did you find the one in my last video??? This is a recurring easter egg moving forward.
I heard it, too. Mortal Kombat?
They filmed the remake In Oshawa, Ontario. I live around the corner from the creepy house they temporarily built.
🤯🤯🤯 mind blown
I thought the scenery looked familiar! The good old Dirty 'Shwa!
Where did they take the creepy set?
i really like your conclusion about the film, it having significance in the way it presents childhood and moving on after trauma through connection with others. I have been obsessed with this book for many years cause the 90's movie was the first horror movie I ever saw and it scared the shit out of me. I was terrified for years of the dark, putting a big box in front of my bathroom door connecting into my room every night lol. As i grew up and matured i wanted to overcome that fear so I took a leap and read the book. i have read it 3 or 4 times now because its so good. This story has been important to my development and I'm glad it did, I'm definitely going to see the new one when it comes out.
In the book, Bill rode his bike fast to beat the devil. It's explained all throughout and then fleshed out when Bill and Richie outrun IT in Silver while escaping the house on Neibolt. At the end, Bill knows something evil has taken hold of Audra, that's why he rides his bike fast. He rides to beat the devil. To outrun the evil inside Audra. NOT FOR ONE LAST BIKE RIDE DOWN MEMORY LANE.
Narratively yes, but I'm speaking thematically. Calm yourself.
@@RyanHollinger But it isn't thematic, that's thing.
Totally read this as The Horror of I.T. Explained and I was about to be like "LET ME TELL YOU..."
TaydebearProductions lol me too
lmao same
Did you try turning the video off and then back on again?
Best comment on the internet
Pennywise wouldn't have to try hard with me, I'm already afraid of clowns. IT could blink at me and I'd be hauling ass down the street looking for the nearest bat lol
The book was one hella of a read. Stephen was nose deep in snow when he wrote this one
Beautifully articulated.
I wouldn't say that kids "think they're immortal", I'd say that they have no conception of mortality.
100% agreed! It's disappointing when people don't like the movie because they're expecting simple horror.
Great video! I think "IT" is only just recently beginning to get the appreciation it deserves. The one thing that I think you could have mentioned more is the Lovecraftian cosmic horror aspect of the story. The creature even gets a couple chapters from it's own point of view that firmly root it as a Cthonic being. Lovecraft himself would not have written the children as being able to confront the creature, but authors since have been focused on how their characters might overcome creatures that cause such existential madness.
I think it is interesting to point out that the creature feeds on the fear that it causes by conjuring up a person's worst nightmare, but the irony is that by enforcing the rules of madness it must also abide by the same rules, which is why the "this is battery acid" works to injure the creature. Essentially, when the universe confronts you with terrible circumstances, you are only truly helpless if you don't believe that you can truly address the situation.
I was so disappointed upon hearing there would be a remake or reboot of IT. As a 16 year old when it came out I knew the tv movie lacked a lot of things but Tim Curry's iconic portrayal of Pennywise really captured the cultural imagination (especially knowing King wrote it after the John Wayne Gacy murders) and if you weren't afraid of clowns before, you would certainly be now. I went to watch the 2017 version and was happily greeted with a more clearer adaptation and was entirely impressed at how it felt like Stand By Me with a few jump scares plus Pennywise was used sparingly. This really felt like an adaptation done right (Dark Tower I'm looking at you). There is still hope for modern cinema if only the studios would allow the vision to be a group of artists not a committee of executives. Ryan excellent work as always. We can all try to analyse movies but yours have a nicely poetic flow. I'm a long time subscriber for a reason. Keep up the good work my friend
One of the most solid and well-articulated opinions I've seen in a comment.
thank you kindly
The 2017 film somehow manages to keep all the basic themes and morbid content yet handles it with class. Impressive
im actually rereading the book after i saw the newest movie. i thought they did a great job bringing the gore and gristly elements to the big screen. but i think they especially nailed how it works and how it consumes its victims.
pennywise the clown is the favorite form because kids like clowns. except when they dont. this allows for sneak attacks. backstabs. like with georgie and the little girl whos name i cant remember. but it never uses that form as a means of overpowering the victims with fear in general. i think pennywise best represents the true nature of it. because pennywise always hides behind the persons fears. thats what it is really. a parasite. it has no power. no real strength. it isnt menacing. it is not scary. it is pathetic. it has to trick people into giving it power over them using their fears. or it has to backstab someone by pretending to be harmless. particularly with little kids. but when those kids go into the sewer to confront it. it falls. and it falls quickly. it cant even manage to hurt any of the kids by that point. they are giving it no power. and thus it is weak and a coward. preferring to run. it gets its ass handed to it by 5 kids. pathetic. but it is smart. it knows how to make people give it power over them and uses that to kill them. a slimy snivering coward who cant really fight its own battles. always using shadows, other people like henry, or a strategy of divide and conquer. but it fails once they start gunning for it. and i loved that in this newest movie. once they confront it in the sewer and you see it clearly for extended time it becomes a complete joke. you see these kids beating on it and you cant help but think "wow what a sorry pathetic excuse for a monster. i could do a better job fighting those kids" and thats the entire point. once they stop giving it power over them pennywise the clown becomes the most weak, laughable monster ever conceived. oh it can shapeshift, it can grow arms and grab you or grow a monster jaw, big fucking whoop look at these 5 kids beat it to death with bats and broken boards and chains. these kids are like 10.
i loved this interpretation of it. the creature specifically. the only scary things in this movie are the fears of the kids. it is only a conduit. using those fears to trick the kids into killing themselves rather than being killed by it. the only exception is small children who are so tiny that a large breed of dog in its puppy years could actually knock them over. thats its true power level. thats the only level of strength it can actually fight. if you keep your wits about you and go for the kill it can never dominate you. or even put up a real fight.
Nexus As someone who has in the past six days read the novel, watched the tv mini series, and finally watched the new movie; I can safely say the tv mini series was more accurate to the book than new movie was. Rather than an adaptation of the novel, this shitfest merely nods and winks to the book. The cg was crap and felt generations old. And the portrayal of pennywise was terribly contrived and overacted. Don't see this Hollywood money grab.
Hork Porkler idk if i agree with that. The miniseries was totally crippled by the fact that they werent allowed to do anything that could be seen as too violent. Sure the miniseries has more scenes from the book. But they are just pale shadows of the violent, gory nature of the character in the book. Pennywise mutiliates kids, ge tore that kids head off as the creature from the black lagon. And in the miniseries we get a scene where eddie is in the show and the showerheads move around. Its been toned down so much that it hurts the story. Stop looking at it with rose tinted glasses.
Nexus at least the mini series did "white wash" mikes character by taking out all of the racial aspect that the book references quite often. The producers of the new one didn't care to relay the psychological hardships that Stan or mike had to go through. Instead they wanted jump scares and the typical modern horror movie troupes that sell tickets. This was an undeniably poor attempt of an adaptation. And this movie is unjustifiably riding the name of the book while barely being similar to it. This movie was for the easily dupable, the rubes of our world :)
Didn't***
I think I get it now. Pennywise often appears as a clown because he's really a big joke. 😂
“No implication that IT will come back with a vengeance”
Then you read Dream Catcher and find out that IT came back and fucked shit up.
Considering that 2017's *IT* is set in the 80's as opposed to the 50's in the novel and 1990 mini-series, it would've been cool if they'd had Pennywise shape-shift into classic 80's monsters & killers to scare the kids when they first see him.
Imagine Richie being spooked not by the Wolfman but by Freddy Kreuger, with Robert Englund coming out of retirement one last time for this cameo. Picture some of the other kids seeing Michael Myers, Jason, the Predator or Xenomorph, etc.
Apparently this is exactly what's happening! They have updated some of the monsters to correspond with the 80s setting! Although they won't be as iconic as the ones you mention. I also think that would take you out of the movie too much.
+Bowe Frankema Perhaps, yes, just thought it would be a cool idea and a neat loophole for *IT* to reference other franchises. Now, here's a real head-scratcher: *Pennywise vs Freddy Kreuger,* who wins? My vote is, possibly Freddy.
If IT only wakes every 27-30 years to feed and must hibernate the rest of the time, is it possible that Freddy could use his demonic dream powers to invade the creature's sleep and kill IT (assuming IT can permanently die)?
Obviously, Pennywise has the advantage in the physical world since he can shape-shift while Freddy doesn't have his powers in our realm and is vulnerable. But what about the nightmare world, if they fought on his home turf?
🕵️ *#FreddyvsPenny* 🤡
Freddy does not lose his powers, they are just more dulled. Theres loads of evidence to support it too.
@@Justmyhandle Freddy does keep his powers in the real world they are just toned down. Freddy can't truly die either.
*+Russell Cortez & Dark Apostle Nemeroth* I'm open to being proven wrong but could you please provide some examples from the movies to support this? 🤨 I'd appreciate it.
I own all the films but admittedly haven't watched them in a while. As far as I remember though, Freddy's vulnerable in the physical world and can't use his dream abilities.
He's still tough and can always come back again after being "killed" in the waking world, provided people remember him of course, but I don't remember him using any powers. 🤔
The closest canonical example I know of off the top of my head is Rod's death in the original when he's in jail and Freddy somehow hangs him with a bed sheet in the real world.
Even that however, can be argued as only being possible because Rod was asleep. Thus, Freddy was channeling his dream power through him to move the sheet and tie it around him.
Honestly, I always found that death silly/confusing to begin with. The film never explicitly explains how a being whose power revolves around dreams can move an inanimate object.
It makes little-no sense with what we'd seen Freddy do up to that point in the first film and renders understanding the already loose rules to how his power works even more difficult.
The remake handled this better in my opinion with its first onscreen death by having Freddy kill Dean in the dream but manipulate him into doing it to himself in the waking world.
Huh, didn't know IT was really about PTSD and childhood. Thanks for the informative video. Never read the book or seen the movie, but this is worth keeping in mind if I go see the new movie.
Messofanego tbh once you've seen this video the film's spoiled. Part of the appeal of the film to me is how well it handled themes of abuse, trauma, etc. It's all there without being in your face... But maybe now you're gonna go in with expectations :P
I see it as being about confronting childhood fears, myself. Not too sure about the PTSD part.
I think I read IT as the right time for it to make a substantial emotional impact on me, I was 16 and I going through a tough time in high school. I was young enough to connect and empathize with the kids, but old enough to understand the themes, content and messages of the whole novel. I plan on reading it again when i'm older too see what I get from that perspective.
Same.
Just wanted to add that pennywise was NOT killed by the losers club. In other stephen king novels they refrence the town of derry and even pennywise itself.
One person claimed to have seen a clown in a sewer, while another character finds graffiti that says "pennywise lives"
What the I.T. would be for me would probably be a spider the size of a dinnerplate, because I found a brown spider that size on my room's wall once. I got Dad to come in, and he swatted it with a mop, but it didn't die, it just kinda... Fell.
I still had to sleep on that bed, after it had fallen by the way. It sucked.
Pigeons Suck probably it would be a way bigger spider. The size of a bear. :/
Fair enough.
Pigeons Suck well, in the ending of the book they fight against a 5 meter tall spider
Pigeons Suck mine would be myself yet the violent side the side I repress, cause I'm a hormone filled 13 year old who who has more testosterone then you can shake a stick at
I love how the movie references things that happen in the book like Eddie
This book is so good! There's so much more to learn about "it" that just can't be done in a 2 hour movie. It is among King's best story telling. It may be a long book. But it takes you on one hell of a journey
I read the book in middle school, and decided to reread it as an adult due to the upcoming second movie.
I found myself extremely frustrated by the changes in the last film😩.
So much potential in the books, and while campy, I’m glad the mini-series stuck to the source material.
The child actors in the new films are so good, they could have done wonderfully with the book details.

So true - I was simply blown away by this video's content.
This is my favorite analyzation of IT.
I first saw the miniseries when I was about Georgie's age and had much different experience then versus when I read the book as an adult and I think a lot of people around my age experienced a similar thing with IT.
I will remember how those last few pages of the book made me feel for the rest of my life.
Clicks 'Like' before even watching the video, ya just know it's gonna be a belter! :)
*belter???
I'm such a plonker when you started by saying "it is one of my favourite books of all time" I genuinely thought what? What is?
Thank you giving the original mini-series film the credit it deserves. I've seen both the 1990s and 2017 versions and the 1990s one surely instilled fear into me. The 2017 version depicted a lot more gory scenes but from a psychological perspective, gory scenes do not have lasting impressions in comparison with the 1990s version which left the interpretation for the audiences to decide. Had I not read the book/watched the 1990s version I probably would not have enjoyed the 2017 version.
Wow, spectacular content man. Very pleasantly surprised for simply stumbling upon a new channel
Watching this guy, Zero Pu ctuation, Supereyepatchwolf, Thegamingbrit, Whatculture, (you can even include "Preacher" in there for it's themes of the Wild West), etc... anyone else starting to notice a pattern of how non Americans are more interesting and much better at analyzing/celebrating/criticizing American media and culture than Americans are? Europeans making videos about media is becoming my favorite niche subgenre on youtube...
I feel it's our outsider perspective. We have different cultures and values, while America is very close-knit, so we're coming from an observer's POV to begin with.
i mean some of us do, or the media wouldn't have been created in the first place.
Ryan Hollinger Good point. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to really see the depth of the art
Ufphen Of course that's true also
Counter example: Defunctland
Good job. 👍

Hiya Georgie !
How did I miss this video? IT is my favorite King novel as well (read it 8 times now). I was kinda hoping for a bit more on the film adaptation, but it was a great video anyway, as always.
you've just gained a subscriber!!
it's summer we're supposed to be having fun!
Supreme Bape It's not summer anymore...
I never ever as a kid thought I was immortal, maybe it comes from being sick growing up knowing death was a very real thing.
In the book some of the best parts were mike hanlons research on the history of derry and kills of pennywise in the background of the main story
:-O Wow! Nice! This was a great video (I just subscribed). I love the way you contextually (and rather intelligently) broke down the different meanings behind IT - "Beautifully done." I look forward to more amazing videos, peace.
I’m reading the book now and I’m up to Patrick H. dying.
When the children see the monsters I can really see it happening, almost like a movie but more descriptive.
The statue coming to life in the middle of the town came was the scariest for me, and the giant bird coming to life.
I always found it creepy that it was set in a town called Derry :/ Yeah not in Northern Ireland Derry, but instead Maine, but still chilling. I also understand the eye thing. Maybe not the same kind of thing from IT but I remember as a kid I always found close ups of eyes scary. Like in Mulan when in zooms into Shan Yu's eyes (at the scene when he emerges from being buried in the snow) it used to terrify me as a kid. There was a similar scene in one of the Swan Princess movies and I just always had to look away when I knew what was coming. Even now when rewatching them I feel a sort of lump form in my throat
Enigma Popstar yeah, it is actually in the book (it mentions it is called like that because of the one in Ireland, I think)
That's strange I have no such qualms about a huge eye. I wonder what it is that makes people afraid of them. I think it coming at kids as an undead ghoul so frightening in the book. This book is in my opinion the scariest book I've ever read and I've read hundreds of books.
I guess minor spoilers, but I always felt like IT's true origins were hinted at in another one of Stephen King's novels, "The Tommyknockers." Without spoiling too much from that book, one of the main characters (fairly long way through the book) thinks he spots a clown looking at him from the sewers while driving through Maine. Obviously a reference to Pennywise, but given the part of the book it happens in and the actual plot of that book it does heavily imply Pennywises origins. Read Tommyknockers (or look up the wiki :))
Saw the movie last night. It was the best horror/suspense/fantasy/clown movie I've ever seen. It felt like way more than a simple monster movie. :D
I really liked IT and how you explained everything with passion! I really agree with this! Great vid!
children are immortal in skyrim and fallout
real talk tho, cutest shameless plug on youtube before the actual video.
"folks"
HOLD UP i JUST only NOW realized that Emily Perkins plays Beverly in the original IT adaptation ?? I LOVE HER.
3 years late. But I'm binging Ryan videos since discovering his channel 2 weeks ago. Ryan.... I need more content dude. ❤️😊
i don't get why people say this movie is shit, i like it way better than the original
Throughout extensive lit studies, I secretly always thought It was one of the finest books about adolescence ever. Precisely bc of the orgy and fear, the truth and complexity. The loss. And the essence of maturation is learning to cope with loss, which can only be dealt with through faith - and I'm not necessarily talking religion. But the belief that any hope staves off hopelessness. Keep reciting birds, guys. Knowledge is our only shield against pagan-alien-brutal caveman fears.
Can't wait for Part 2 of the IT movie
A+ stuff as always, Ryan!
I have done three papers on 'IT' -- one about the craftsmanship of the writing, one about the implications of media's affect on children -- and one tying into the cosmology King has created around the element of KA, KA-TET and the Dark Tower.
You got one thing in here that I want to rebut, and overall this is dead on -- but the kids don't just hope silver works against 'IT' -- they assume that IT must take a form to get them. If the form it takes is 'The Wolfman' -- which it is in the case of Richie -- then IT will be weak to silver. They discuss using IT's ability to choose a form against IT.
(RIchie's fear of the Wolfman is traded in the new film for clowns -- which is far more relatable, but again removes the subtext of 'media as a malevolence, as well as messenger' that King also put into the story. )
Love your videos - Will donate in future -- I cycle through channels each month on Patreon. :D
The recent movie actually had the most incredible and perfect jumpscare I couldn't even imagine I'd see one day !..
A proof it CAN be well made.
My favorite horror movie.
I was Pennywise for Halloween.
Bill Skarsgard did an AMAZING job.
Great job Ryan. Just started following you. Impressed!
As someone going to see It(2017) tonight, and havent seeing a horror movie before, thank you
feenyx blue. How have you not seen a horror movie at all before then?
I will say this: my favorite parts of the book never really made it to the tv, but did get some highlights in the movie. Town's a dry field full of fall grass in regards to violence, and Pennywise is always there with a lit cigarette and a can of gasoline to spark things off, waiting for the moment the wind's blowing in from the right direction. I loved it when the focus moved away from the Loser's Club and chewed on what it meant that the town was built on IT's sleeping place.
That said, learning as an adult that the murder that opened the book is 'ripped from the headlines' and heavily based on something that actually happened near where King was living at the time... makes it feel kind of tasteless in retrospect, and I have skipped that in rereads since.
Oneyplays is right in wanting the trope of the kid facing off the big bad monster and saying "I'm not afraid anymore" kills the monster as if a physical threat won't tear you apart
Yeah.
That claymation Pennywise did NOT age well.
Where you from in Northern Ireland man? I thought at the start of watching this you sounded a little American but as it progressed I could really start to hear our accent in your voice with the pronunciation of so many words, weirdly enough it was when you said town of Derry I was like "oh shit he's from here" hahaha. Always great to see youtubers from NI but even apart from that great work and analysis, liked and subscribed boiii
I thought the new movie captured the overall tone and theme of the book really well and I loved it. The kids were great and so was Pennywise (who was thankfully not overused)
One of my favourite movies of 2017 based off of my favourite novel of all time.
Trying to not have high hopes for the "remake".
Trying, really, hard.
Heather Holt It has almost entirely good reviews from people who saw early screenings of it. I'm pretty sure it won't be bad.
It's not a remake. It's a re-adaptation of the novel.
(The movie is based on the book, not the mini series from the 90s.)
Heather Holt It is currently at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, so I'd say this new adaptation is actually pretty good
its kinda like a dark twisted version of peter pan
I'd love to see the sequel to the 2017 version have two storylines, with them as adults and with their kids having to deal with Pennywise.
msk97x no
It’s true that kids think they are too young to die, so they assume that death will not enter their lives in any way. However, not only are they more prone to fear for some reason, but death can come at literally any time, as explained in your tcm review.
The Tim Curry depiction is way harder to look at than Bill Skarsgard, he taps more into the uncanny valley feeling.
IT the book meant a tremendous deal to me growing up. I read King books from a fairly early age (around 10-12?) and I could empathize alot w his main characters. Helped me through school, knowing there are such horrible people around, it never came as a surprise, and still the hopeful parts in his books always made one hold out.
I've been doing more reading this year, checking out new books and revisiting some stuff I read in high school but I've been a little on the fence about taking another look at IT for just how damn long it is(Just under 1,100 pages, god damn, Stephen King.) but you've convinced me to give it another read and finish it.
I love IT the book and movies are my fav.
love your editing man, you get more stylish and slick with every episode, looks great!
Random thought. King couldn't decide on making it about kids or adults so he chose both. Been in love with this story since 7th grade.
Poor Georgie😭💔
dimierre evans
Fr that shit was sad tbh
yeah... Georgie got payed less for acting
"IT is one of my favorite books of all time."
What is?
You are correct i remember watching IT at 10 yrs old and being completely freaked out by georgie being killed,to that time kids did not die in horror movies.
Such a great book/film
Considering Pennywise appears in other SKIng books after the events of IT it would be wonderful and proper for him to write a sequel to the original novel ...it would be a bestseller no doubt.
I liked the new movie. the big problem was that the scariest scene was the first scene.
I can imagine an IT movie where Pennywise transforms into other current horror icons that the kids are afraid of( Micheal , Freddy Jason, Jaws, Etc..) just like in this movie the kids were afraid the Werewolf , Mummy, and creature for the black lagoon.
I could have swore bill put his girlfriend on the bike with him at the end after killing IT because of the state she was in after seeing the dead lights and to break her free from that.... but who am i
The Big Eye Monster is a creature from AD&D : a Beholder. A quite vicious encounter.
Outstanding content! So glad I found your channel.
For what it's worth, the Dark Tower's use of Dandelo (a similar being if not the same one as Pennywise) supports your understanding of how the entity does in fact work.
Do this more please. Just... Everything, do everything more please.

The novel actually does leave it up in there whether or not IT was truly defeated, remember the eggs and the question as to whether or not they got them all?
kinda wish you went into more of the town derry, how its not just penny wise, it seems the whole town is the problem. its described as this black whole, penny wise doesn't even wake up till 27 years pass, and in the books its explained that there needs to be a horrifying moment happen.
We will have to wait until 'Chapter 2' to see how much of this carries through.
This video is particularly insightful. Well done. Subscribed.
Just saw the remake of this in the cinema and let me tell me tell you, it is a great film. kept me on the edge of my seat in the suspenseful moments, and then left me sinking into the back of my chair when it got scary. it was really fucking scary too.
this changed my opinion on stephen king. it was pretty bad before, so that's a very impressive thing. thanks ryan. i can appreciate morbid art better now.
Beautiful stuff man! Keep it up
To me, "It" is Stephen King's magnum opus. Some of his other works-especially his short stories-come close to matching it, but none succeed.
HIGH HO SILVER AND AWAY!!!
everytime he got on that bike I expected him to get something broken... my God did he pull off some insane stunts.
So at the end I genuinely cried seeing him get Silver back for one last ride through town.
Birdzilla and the people imitations were Its scariest forms to me reading.
