Our take on It

Andy Muschietti's 2017 horror unfolds in a small Maine town, where seven children who call themselves the Losers' Club confront everyday troubles, cruel bullies and a shape-shifting monster that most often appears as a clown named Pennywise. Blending horror with drama and thriller, the film ties its scares to a tender coming-of-age story, giving each young outsider a fear the creature can exploit. The result is as much about friendship and childhood dread as it is about the jolts. It suits viewers who like their horror character-driven and nostalgic rather than purely relentless, and who don't mind a lurking, memorably sinister villain feeding on fear.
