Breh, this is a scene that was allegedly cut from the film (from the 1600s):

"He then threatens her and her family, unless she sacrifices her baby to him, the script continuing: "She turns away from the baby. Faces those dying embers. We keep on her face as they seem to begin GLOWING BRIGHTER AS - OVER HER SHOULDER - OUT OF FOCUS - Pennywise crawls over to the Baby and starts to feast.

"SHARP CRY FROM THE BABY CUT OFF as we hear a CRUNCH. Abigail continues to look into the BRIGHT ORANGE GLOW of not the flickering fire... ...but the DEADLIGHTS. Her expression changing. Fear. Denial. Grief. Acceptance. And then nothing. Just a glazed look. AS IF NOTHING HORRIFIC IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING BEHIND HER.
"

:pennywise:
:lupe: That would've been a good scene, they could've scrapped some of Henry or the generic blonde bully to fit this in.

Pennywise never seemed like a real threat. He spent most of the movie just trolling the kids, with only a couple of kills. Meanwhile, Freddy, Jason, and Michael Myers would've been catching bodies.

Yeah, in the book he was much closer to getting some of them (Mike with the Rodan-hybrid bird; Richie with Paul Bunyan; Stan with the dead kids). They did the Bev scene well (the real threat to her as a kid was her father...in the book Pennywise makes her father go psycho on her where you actually think he might kill her). The film def. holds back on some of the cooler deaths as well (Patrick's death in the movie is WAY watered down compared to what happens in the book).

Like I said in my original review, the biggest disappointment of this movie is they don't really focus on IT's main power...turning itself into whatever you fear most. Without that, he's more of a generic monster.

Agreed. Patrick Hocksetter's death is the best in the book. I wish they had gone a little more Evil Dead for this version, but I understand why they didn't. They have a whole new legion of fans from a younger generation. That may have not worked out if they gave them the full-on book treatment.

:patrice: I don't know if they could've gone the book route. Hand jobs & bj's, you know?
