"It" is one of Stephen King's most beloved novels. The horror story has terrified readers since it debuted in 1986. "It" features some of the most disturbing moments that King has ever created, and that's no small statement. While the story itself is horrifying, "It" explores the lasting impact of childhood trauma. The coming-of-age elements make "It" one of King's most heartfelt stories. Children and adults can feel inspired by seeing the Losers' Club overcome their fears.
Given the book's popularity, a film adaptation was nearly guaranteed. "It" was first adapted as a two-part miniseries in 1990, starring Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown. The first episode showed the youthful adventures of the Losers' Club, and the second episode flashed forward to their time as adults. While there is a lot of nostalgia for the 1990 "It," the miniseries doesn't quite capture all the nuances that made the novel so beloved.

Stars: Angourie Rice, Justice Smith, Jeni Ross, Lucas Jade Zumann, Rory McDonald, Katie Douglas, Jacob Batalon, Ian Alexander, Colin Ford, Jake Sim, Nicole Law, Karena Evans, Owen Teague, Maria Bello, Michael Cram | Written by Jesse Andrews | Directed by Michael Sucsy
Based on the 2012 novel by David Levithan, Every Day serves up an intriguing blend of science-fiction fantasy and Ya romance. The film’s unusual conceit comes with a side order of problematic plot points, but the script and the performances ensure that its positive central message wins out.
Directed by Michael Sucsy, the film centres on a spirit known only as “A”, who wakes up every day in a different body, a bit like Sam Beckett in TV’s Quantum Leap. The bodies are always the spirit’s age (around 16) and always within the same geographical area, and A is careful not to meddle too much in the lives of each person he inhabits.

Stephen King’s bumper 1986 novel gets the fully-fledged cinematic treatment courtesy of Mama director Andy Muschietti, and screenwriters Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman. It’s a rollicking ghost train of a teen horror; an overflowing toy box of shocker setpieces, jolting jump scares and pop culture allusions.
In keeping with the original story’s dual-timeline structure, this adaptation has relocated the childhood part of the story from the 1950s to the 1980s. (One could argue that the ‘80s has – in the quality of its idyllic nostalgia – now almost become the new ‘50s).
Understandably, Muschietti’s film will be regarded as a remake, given that its...

A little boy and his bright yellow raincoat, chasing a runaway paper boat in the rain. A clown in the storm drain and a bright red balloon. Many will recall this sequence of events from a fondly-remembered 1990s TV miniseries starring Tim Curry as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. This isn’t that though, and little Georgie Denbrough is bloodily dismembered in the street, dragged down into the drain, where he’ll float too, with the balloons and the dead things…

Horror films often are treated as the red headed stepchild of the cinematic world. Whether it’s a lack of awards viability or just an absence of respect, it’s the genre treated the worst by Hollywood. This week, however, we have a major attempt at changing that with the release of It. The well regarded Stephen King book has only ever been tried on the small screen before, so this big screen outing is something new. That makes it part adaptation and part remake, but hardly a retread. Initially, this was even marked with a bit of prestige, which is rare. Now, the final product is not going to be nominated for any awards, but genre fans will likely flock to theaters in order to watch Pennywise the Clown terrorize the town of Derry. The film is, as just mentioned, a remake of the TV movie of the same name,...

Between the haunting music, vulnerable leads, and the otherworldly demon at its rotting core, all signs point to New Line and director Andy Muschietti serving up a potent dose of nightmare fuel with It, the forthcoming horror adaptation that’s poised to become the first in a two-part saga involving The Losers Club.
Situated in the quaint town of Derry, Maine, those like-minded freaks and geeks are about to band together in the face of true evil, and as you’ll see from today’s all-new stills – stills that come to us by way of Empire, with a tip of the hat to Cbm – Bill Skarsgård’s shape-shifting monstrosity is really the stuff of nightmares.
Couple this with the fact that Muschietti has vowed to deliver a no-holds-barred adaptation of the King classic and it’s small wonder why horror fans are beginning to tremble with excitement – a nervous excitement,...

Only 35 days separate the release of The Dark Tower and Andy Muschietti’s It reboot, and though the mere thought of two Stephen King adaptations in two months is enough to leave horror fans weak at the knees, yesterday brought forth a rather disconcerting report about The Dark Tower and the alleged hurdles it faced throughout proudction.
In short, it appears as though Nikolaj Arcel’s rendition of the King classic suffered from the ol’ “too many cooks in the kitchen” cliché, which really begs the question: can Sony’s Dark Tower movie prove the naysayers wrong and achieve box office success later this week? Or will it be dead on arrival?
Whatever the case, it’s emerged that Arcel’s fantasy epic, one that’s been angled as a continuation of King’s novel saga, stretches for 95 minutes in total. That’s a relatively lean runtime for such an ambitious project,...
