I absolutely loved this movie. But it can be EXTREMELY scary. Exspecially if you are scared of clowns to start with. (Like me) I would recomend this to any horror fan 12 and up or 10 if your brave. I thought the ending was really stupid, but other than that the movie is very scary.
Parents need to know this movie contains content that, if it was rated, it would get an "R" rating, but not severely. There are obscene racist remarks that are very offending (2 of them) and occasional somewhat colorful language. Extreme bullying and grotesque images. Very terrifying, even without the gore. Some drinking.
An intense so-so thriller, but sucks as a horror. Not worth watching in one sitting. The thing is 3 hours long. The violence as well as profanity and sexy stuff is at a high TV-14 or PG-13 setting. Not too harsh.
In 1990 when this "Horror" movie was released, it must of been scary with Pennywise's "Hungry (Scary) Look"
and "blood erupted balloons" but parents, horror movies were SO old-fashioned back then! Just watch it once more and I guarantee you that your children aged 10+ will be fine under parental guidence. Yes, there are jumpy parts but - come on! I thought parents were more than that. This film is not scary -- I don't care how old Commonsense says I am -- I'm not 11, i'm 10 and when I watched this on YouTube, belive it or not...I LAUGHED!
This movie has a lot of gore in it, but the gore is not coming from anyone in most cases, it comes out of balloons and drains. There is a lot of noticible drinking and a man who commits a bloody suicide.There is a couple uses of a racist word but not much cussing. There is an abusive father and husband and lots of moments of sudden random movements similiar to those in paranormal activity or the sixth sense. This movie is a good horror movie if you want to watch something creepy thats not rated R.
Do not see this.Tim Curry is in it.Ted Alan would sound like chef Georgie you have been chopped.NOW DIE.This was so so so so so so so so bad AND WEIRD.
just to let you know this isint your average horror film though it does have some classic pranks like eyeballs and crawling things inside of fortune cookies it is based off the stephen king novel IT and it is mostly targeted for adults and the movie leaves out alot of the graphic details tht the book includes i have read the book and i would have givin this movie 5 stars if it would have been more like the book plus a warning at the end of the movie (spoiler alert) when they kill IT they rip out the guts (not that graphic) of it but its not in clown form it transforms from a giant spider into a flying creature and they rip out this huge thing that looks like a giant heart or something of that sort.
Well Pennywise, you've got the talent. I have never read the book, but I want to. This movie is AWESOME!!!! Even though this is 193 minutes, it is a big and great movie. I Love It. P.S: Tim Curry is great at being Pennywise the Dancing Clown!
I still kinda remember watching this movie when I was 6 with my brother.He totally freaked out lol,but I was laughing like it was a comedy throughout the movie(i have an EXTREMELY strong stomach for gore or scares,it's like almost impossible to scare me bcuz i watch horror movies 3 to 5 times a week and ive seen every single horror movie in existence,from the first horror in the 1800s up to 2011s,yeah i swear to God thhat it's true)but the shower scene totally got me.i kinda freaked out and yelled ,didnt take a shower for a week,hahahha.
