SCORE

My score for this movie is 10/10. I love this movie for a lot of reasons. Stephen King is one of my favorite writter of all time. Also, the actor is one of my favorite too. Interesting fact: He plays as the Joker, just a recommendation. When I was a little kid, I read my first book and I was fascinated. The locations of the movie were recorded are amazing, every scene has the proper colors and duration. My favorite scene is when Jack froze after failing to kill his wife, it is funny and scary.  


WHY WOULD I recommend IT?

It's a yes. If you want more than just random blood and ghosts, this is your movie!  You can find suspense, some kind of love, maybe, great acting skills and much more.  Don't miss the opportunity to see it. Stephen's movies are excellent. Add it to your list, don't forget to leave your comment!

    This movie e is awesome. I don't consider it as scary but the plot it's really interesting because it's about dementia but in a caothic haunted place, I think the main character played by Nicholson is terrorifc role, it's worth it. Also the book that inspires the film has a sequel and it makes the storie much better.
