[75Live]

Hard to say what is rhe scariest for me, well none actually were scary to me but the scenes were nonetheless effective. 

 

I may go with the projector though 

[Jonwo]

The scene with Bev in the bathroom covered in blood reminded me of Carrie, wonder if that intended or not? 

 

I wasn't keen on the scene of them in their undies at the quarry, I know it's meant to represent innocence but did they all have to have matching tighty whities? 

[YM!]

The Georgie scenes are so effective at bringing in the feels.

What I noticed more the second time or at least I put it together the second viewing, was that the hair coming out to grab Bev, was her own hair that she cut off earlier in the film

 

I think the blood was more of a female thing with her  buying the feminine hygiene product at the store if you get my drift.  But yes I get how you can see the scenes being familiar. 

 

As for the tighty whities, being alive in the 80s, we didn't have  lots of options back then so we all mostly had those lol

Now that you reminded me, I think the basement scene with Pennywise using Georgie as a puppet and then going after Mike was the most "scary " scene 

[NoobSaibot]

I actually believe Stan's character could have been well portrayed if he had more to do. But I do believe there was more to him than people suspect at first glance.

 

He wasn't studying the Torah for his bar mitzvah and he didn't take it seriously at all. Of course, he was also the skeptic when it came to It/Pennywise's activities, and even argued that nothing they saw was real. He took it the hardest when he realized that the things they went through were actually happening. Fast forward to the montage, and he successfully completes his bar mitzvah.

 

Basically, his lack of belief in It/Pennywise in the beginning reflected a lack of faith in his religion. He was a skeptical type of person who didn't take his studies seriously. At least, that's how I interpreted it...

The Bar Mitzah IIRC is a coming of age thing in the Jewish faith and I think Stan's fear is the fear of growing up. 

[Valonqar]

So I watched Mama thanks to Stan's painting and holy shit wow that woman is just scary af! Great movie too!

 

So IT scary people ranked:

 

Mama

 

 

 

Eddie's mom/Bev's father

 

 

Pennywise

Henry killing his father wasn't out of the blue, I suspect his father bullied him and IT manipulated him into doing so.

 

Yea, I figured that. I just thought there should have been a little more set up for it.

Yeah, I recognized that part. It's just that, coming from that background of being in a religious family and myself being a skeptic (even now), it made sense to me when I saw him go through that stage when his perception of reality was challenged.

 

Granted, I never saw clowns in the sewers. I just think I saw what they were going for with his character.

Look at this motherfucker!!!

He's leaking hamburger helper!

[Jonwo]

The dialogue was very good especially from Richie, they seemed like real preteens who curse and say silly shit. 

[nomyth]

Oh, and the film earned extra points for me for using XTC's Dear God. Such a great band and song.

[aabattery]

Fuck did it gross me out when they touched their bloody hands together. Yuck.

 

This was okay. Soft 7/10 from me. Wasn't really scary at all but dancing Pennywise did make me laugh really hard.

Does it end on a cliffhanger or just allude to part 2?

It ends by showing the title card again and saying "chapter one"

[cheesypoofs]

So is Henry really dead? That kinda threw me off

He would have to be.  I don't see how he would survive that fall.

I really liked Richie in the movie.

I did too. He was probably my favorite

Projector scene was good but I thought Richie in the room full of clowns was well done. 

I was really happy that Pennywise said "beep beep Richie" during that scene. I was really hoping to hear that line in the movie

Hm. I've never read the book, so would the mini series be more accurate when it comes to his characters fate?
