If you thought you saw the last of creepy clown Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) you were wrong as IT returns in IT: Chapter Two.
Picking up 27 years after the events of Chapter One, our fave gang from Derry are now all grown up and living their own lives. But a horrifying incident and phone call from their good friend Mike (played by Isaiah Mustafa) brings everyone back together, including Beverly (Jessica Chastain), Bill (James McAvoy), Richie (Bill Hader), Ben (Jay Ryan), Eddie (James Ransone) and Stanley (Andy Bean) to return to the very town where that gosh darn clown tormented their youth.
But can they can handle facing their fears this time around as adults? You will just have to watch and find out.
Without giving too much away fans get to learn much more intricate details about the ‘Losers’ club that we never knew about before and the revelations are everything!
While a solid plot to back it up, the CGI/concepts used for this particular outing are sometimes borderline hilarious and can sometimes diminish the horror of it all, but maybe that was intentional?!
CGI aside, the eeriness of it all is what allows this chapter to maintain its creep factor with some cheap payoffs along the way.
Despite this, what truly makes the film worthy of your time is its heart.
At its very core the entire genre of horror is spun on its head. Just like Chapter One, it tells audiences that FEAR is the biggest killer in all of us and that the only way to live a happy/fulfilling life is to face the things we dread the most.
Verdict: While not as scary as its predecessor IT: Chapter Two ends the two-part story on a satisfying note and brings home its entire core message.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
IT: Chapter Two is in cinemas now!
