It is a movie that I saw when I was in seventh grade. I remember everyone telling me how scary it was, even my much older cousin told me that this was scary. When I watched it, I didn't see what everyone thought was so scary. This isn't a bad movie though. I would never have known it was made for TV, that's how good of a job the filmmakers did with this movie. I'm guessing that if you have a fear of clowns(believe me, that's nothing to be ashamed of) then this movie is probably one of the scariest movies you'll ever see. This is one of the few King movies that kids can see, it isn't as shocking as The Shining, or as disturbing as Pet Sematary. There is some killing, but the violence isn't shown. There is some blood, but it isn't anything real disgusting. The acting is pretty good, with an exceptional performance from Tim Curry as the famous clown known as Pennywise. The effects are kind of cheap, but for a TV movie made in the early '90's, they are actually not that bad. The scares aren't anything spectacular, but there are some very suspenseful scenes. The only problem I have with this movie is the last fifteen minutes, those moments are pretty lame. Otherwise, this is a good, and very unique film that is worth watching.Read full review
