There is something evil in Derry and it's killing kids.
The Loser's Club. Seven kids, each with their own problem.
The Stutterer, the Fat boy, the Black kid, the Jewish kid, the abused girl, the hypochondriac and the loud mouth.
These outcasts will bond together to fight the most evil clown to hand out balloons, Pennywise. IT.

Aside from being in the Loser's Club, these seven have something else in common; Each has had a run-in with Pennywise, the Clown, and survived. No small feat.

In 1958, George Denbrough is brutually murdered. "Stuttering" Bill Denbrough begs the rest of the members of the special club to help him find and kill the monster that ripped his brother's arm from his socket.

The kids must face their worst nighmares as they descend into the sewers under Derry. They not only face their own demons, they face The Demon. The Demon that has been around for longer than anyone can remember, or choose to remember, and they defeat it. Or so they think…

30 years ago, seven kids stopped a monster from killing. They thought they killed it. They were wrong.

Now it's 30 years later and the kids are now adults. They are all called back to Derry to live up to a promise they made when they were children. IT's back and IT wants revenge.

Based on Kings 1986 bestseller, IT is a jittery, jolting excursion into personal fear starring Harry Anderson, Annette OToole, John Ritter and Richard Thomas. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown (Tim Curry), but hes not clowning around. Instead, he terrifies youngsters and brings some to their untimely doom until some wily kids fight back. The evil resurfaces 30 years later: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And friends who vividly remember youthful terrors reunite to battle IT.

Stephen King's It (1990)

A really great horror movie leaves a lasting impression on a person. Jaws, for example, still makes me wary of going in the water (even a pool!), and The Blair Witch Project comes to mind every time someone mentions “camping”. Out of all the great horror movies, though, Stephen Kings It in particular has left a lasting mark on me.

A little back-story: I remember when I was about six years old and my brothers and I were put to bed as usual. As my mother was tucking us in she made a HUGE mistake and warned us not to get out of bed whatever we did because she was watching a movie that she didn't want us to see. Of course that just made me want to sneak out of bed.

I waited a while and snuck into the living room. Hiding behind the couch where she couldn't see me I tried to see what the big taboo on TV was. It must have been about a minute later that I was completely horrified by what I saw and ran out of the room screaming.

For years after that I was horrified of clowns, dark places and…… the bathroom! I couldn't even bring myself to watch It all the way through until I was fourteen, and then I loved it!

The movie Stephen Kings It, which was originally a TV movie released in as a mini-series in 1990, is actually quite subdued by most horror standards. The violence is minimal, and there is little blood, yet tons of scares. It is also quite long (192min!) but keeps your attention, especially the first half.

Stephen Kings It begins when a little girl, while in her yard in the sleepy, rainy townof Derry, Maine, is murdered by a mysterious clown called “Pennywise” who appears literally out of nowhere.

Later, while at the crime scene, the librarian Mike Hanlon (Tim Reid) notices something weird…a picture of his childhood friend's little brother who was murdered in 1960. Mike immediately calls all of his old friends and tells them the news: “HE’s back”.

From this point the movie jumps between each character’s current life and flashbacks of their own personal childhood encounters with the violent, tormenting spirit Pennywise the Clown (Tim Curry in possibly his best role). The clown spirit uses children’s greatest fears against them by bringing them to reality. Mike convinces each member of the "old gang"(which includes John Ritter, Harry Anderson and Annette O'Toole) to agree reluctantly to come back to Derry to fight Pennywise…except for one. Stan Uris (Richard Masur) decides he would rather end his own life than go back to Derry and have to face the demons of his past, leaving the group of friends minus one vital member.

Once back in Derry the gang confirms that Pennywise the clown is indeed up to his old tricks again, and chaos abounds - complete with hallucinations, attacks and near deaths. The group must find out what Pennywise really is, and destroy “It”.

I will admit that while Stephen Kings It is fantastic, the ending is a bit of a letdown. We know that Pennywise is not human from the beginning, but we are not quite sure exactly what he actually is until the end of the movie, and even then it is very confusing no matter how many times you watch It. The history of Pennywise and of Derry itself, when revealed, is truly frightening though. Tim Curry, as the clown Pennywise, is also very frightening and believable in this role of a lifetime.

While not acceptable for all ages, I highly recommend Stephen Kings It, especially if want a good horror movie to watch on a rainy afternoon or night. Or for an even bigger scare, read the book on a rainy afternoon or night, because although the movie is scary, the book will keep you up at night.
