Our take on It Chapter Two

Andy Muschietti's 2019 horror sequel reunites the Losers' Club twenty-seven years after their childhood clash with the shape-shifting entity Pennywise. Now grown and scattered far from Derry, they are summoned home by a devastating phone call, forced to confront buried trauma and the evil they believed they had defeated. The film balances large-scale scares and grotesque set pieces with an emphasis on friendship, memory and adult regret. Horror fans who valued the first chapter's characters will appreciate the emotional throughline, though its considerable length and reliance on nostalgia divide some viewers. Best for those wanting an ambitious, character-rooted fright film that closes out a coming-of-age nightmare.
