Stephen King's IT (Time to Float) - Official Thread

[O.T.I.S.]

I didn't say this was hardcore. I said my hardcore horror fans.
I said this was a cult classic though.

And im a hardcore horror fan. I like most horror films but true horror... SAW movies weren't shyt to me... Just blood here and blood there. Same with Final destination movies

But I liked movies that had elements of surprise where there was shyt that I didn't expect. Even in this movie, I expected shyt that did happen but I didn't expect what happened after. It followed up on its horror with more creepy/horror shyt. It was very dope

I keep bringing up the painting scene because even though I expected it, I didn't expect the way they executed it. It was legit scary af to the point where after the scene I was like

This is one of those films that played the game with "horror fanatics". It wasn't scary but you spent a lot of the movie like...

"you almost got me "

I spent most of the movie feeling like

Great cast of young actors too. This is one of those movies that is going to help build a career for a lot of young actors in the future.

Kinda what "Stranger Things" is going to do as well. The kid that played Ritchie is going to get a shytload of offers after this movie.

Despite not being the entire focus, he was by far the funniest person and the source of relief for most of the movie.

But every kid played a huge part... I liked the black kid the most because he seemed the "toughest" out of all the characters (fukk, he was the only one that brought the strap... fukk a slingshot). He was legit the only real killer for the group of the movie.. Literally

But even lil Georgie... He played a CREEPY ass part of the movie and did it well

Ritchie is Mike from Stranger Things, so it worked

I knew that

And not saying thats why it worked, the reason it worked is because the kid is a good actor. i'm saying thats why he can make a career out of it

I enjoyed the movie but I got irritated with all of Pennywise's pump-faking with the killings.

There was no sense of real danger for the main characters.

That bytch in the painting had me creeped the fukk out

See from both posts you made I totally agree. The movie was a great mix of everything that made it an entertaining movie with a outstanding cast they we might one day look back at in a decade and be like this is where most of their careers started to take off.

And as a hardcore horror fan myself. I just knew others would relate and consider this a classic in the genre. If there wasn't so much cussing this is the type of movie that would be played on AMC every October.


Honestly I feel like part 2 won't be just as good or it will be a lot darker since they are all adults if you mix in all the sins adults have. Part 1 was funny and it had that young innocent vibe mixed in with stranger things tactics and its what helps make this movie a classic. Feel like those same elements won't be able to be made across for part 2 and it shouldn't.

But who knows

This movie is absolute ass cheeks. Remember, IT was originally an adult movie made to scare kids, not a kids movie made to scare adults. And that's exactly what wr have here. What was even the purpose of changing the time period to the 80s? It's the same exact fukking story. The child acting was abysmal, period. The IT actor wasn't all that memorable for me. The pacing was terrible. shyt, the pacing is what really turned me off. The original movie IT character felt more.menacing than this new one. This new one was just trolling the protagonists, whereas the original felt like a menace to the entire town, shyt almost like a ghost. Looking back on it, the original movie is iconic BC of Tim Curry's portrayal of IT and that's really it. Yes the story was good, but Tim Curry's was so horrifying in it that his acting defined that movie. None of these new actors did that for me. God this movie was terrible.

Yea the innonence of it all is what made it creepy scary because nothing is as scary as when u are a kid and especially with the adults kinda shrugging shyt off gave that greater sense of hopelessness fear like no help is coming. The garage scene was the dopest to me legit had the theater like wtf and i want to see it again just for that part alone



Part 2 will be these fukked up traumatized adults all mopey and shyt

He does that to "season the meat"

I said this was a cult classic though.

It cant be a cult classic because its immediately very popular and successful. Cult classics are lesser known or less successful films that later gain a dedicated, "cult-like" following.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

He does that to "season the meat"

and its the same in the novel and 90s version. He doesnt just immediately kill every kid he runs into. He fukks with them a lot and plays on their fears, kinda like Freddy. Kids' more susceptible nature is partially why he usually preys on primarily children.

 

[thaKEAF]

Movie was entertaining as hell cant wait for the sequel. It was more funny than scary to me but it still had parts where even I was like !!

I bushed everything you said when you said The original IT movie felt more menacing

No WAY was the original more scarier than this.., and i rewatched it the day after and at least a year before...

It's your opinion but gotdamn

You got to be damn near 60 to feel that way about the OG movie... Which was basically a PBS special.

The original movie made people scared of clowns... This movie made people just scared of the craziness that IT was doing to the kids.

It cant be a cult classic because its immediately very popular and successful. Cult classics are lesser known or less successful films that later gain a dedicated, "cult-like" following.

cult classics are culture classics... shyt that effect the culture of the genre. IT is definitely that main horror movie of the genre in recent memories. Whether it was popular or not, this shyt was crazy good

 

[HipHopStan]

This movie ain't shyt compared to the movies a lot of the 80s babies saw

Murphy getting his ass lit up in robocop shyts on anything in this movie

Poltergeist

Nightmare series

Again it being on regular tv like it wasn't shyt


Children of the corn


In a sense this movie good for kids

Lesson is quit being scary the very thing u are scared will haunt u

I'll add on:

Gremlins (the kitchen scene )
Chucky
Beetlejuice (the snake scene)
Tales from the Crypt

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

He does that to "season the meat"

I know why he was doing it, but it was tiresome

The one that was executed the best later in the movies was when

Spoiler

the jewish kid was about to have his face chewed off in the sewer

We at least got the feeling of him being done for at that moment
