Stephen King's IT (1990)

[deadxclown]

In the quiet town of Derry, Maine, Seven freinds, Bill, Eddie, Mike, Bev, Stan, Richie and Ben (the losers club) have all been seeing and hearing strange things. Most of which revolve around a Clown called pennywise in which they all admit being real, the kids eventually discover that the leader of the club, Bill's little brother fell victim to this evil. The group sets out to stop the force and put it to rest once and for all. 30 years after defeating IT, Mike Hanlon, the only Member who remained in derry, is suspecting that IT has returned and is forced to call back all of the Losers club, due to a promise they all made to return if its evil shall ever resurface. Uncovering new powers, clues and evil the club reunites as adults and come face to face with the evil that has haunted and fed on derry for the last centuries.

Loved the first half, wasn't so keen on the second half

Great book and a good movie, for a made for TV mini-series that is. I remember making sure I watched every part of the series when it first aired.

I agree with Jude that the first half is much better than the second, but I love it anyway. I tried to watch it twice as a kid and had to turn it off both times-the first time I didn't even get past the "IT hiding in the laundry" scene! I always have a soft spot for films that can scare me that badly.

yeah 1st half is better but i still really like it overall
it's really good for a TV mini-series too and Pennywise creeped me out when i was younger haha
the book is excellent too

Still one of the creepiest villains of all time, IMO. And in a TV movie, no less.
