FILM REVIEW: IT Chapter 2 – Great Gore and More

• Directed by: Andy Muschietti
• Written by: Stephen King, Gary Dauberman (screenplay)
• Starring: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean, Bill Skarsgård

It:Chapter 2 is a delightful horror movie based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name. In the sequel, we catch up with “the Losers Club” 27 years after the events in the original film. You’re most likely going to have a good time watching this movie. It has its drawbacks with some laughable CGI but the film’s incredible casting and commitment to the source material sell the picture. It’s got jump scares galore but be advised, aficionados may see this more as an adventure film than a horror. Some great laughs and great gore. We give IT 3 out of 5 brains.
