Itnote is the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's classic 1986 horror novel of the same name directed by Andrés Muschietti. The film tells the story of seven children as they are terrorized by the eponymous being, which exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. The film will depict roughly half the book, focusing on most of the childhood events of the main characters.
Set in 1989, the story begins when a young boy named George 'Georgie' Denbrough disappears after the sudden arrival of a mysterious clown named Pennywise. Georgie's older brother, Bill, is left distraught by his disappearance, and after an encounter with Pennywise, looks for the help of six other outcasts who have had similar encounters with the clown and its other forms. The seven work together to find out the truth about this shapeshifting creature - which they dub 'IT' - and see if they can rescue Bill's missing brother.
The movie is an adaptation of the parts of the novel that are about the Losers as children, scheduled to be released on September 8, 2017. A sequel based on the parts of the novel about the Losers in adulthood (with flashbacks to their childhood) is in development, with one of the film's writers slated to return and a projected 2019 release date.
It makes me nostalgic for when I used to get scared by movies because I don't anymore... But man oh man, It captures how it feels to be a scared child.
Horror's power here does not come from monstrous imagery, but from the encounter with evil... Muschietti seems to miss that, going for teeth over terror from the get-go.
