Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace
Released as a two-part miniseries, this Stephen King adaptation has all the common traits found in his work. Though obviously not intended for adults, this movie has moments of creepiness, but much of that is diffused by how childish and bloated the story is. Pennywise the clown is one of the most iconic horror villains of the past 25 years, and a large reason for that is due to the actor playing him. Tim Curry gives it his all (as usual) in a performance that ranges from genuinely creepy to over-the-top silly and ridiculous, and the result is entirely entertaining. Not a bad movie, but still far too long for its own good and not very scary.
★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
