The viewer could be cowering during one scene and chuckling during the next. Scenes like this one were scattered around the movie, usually right after a scary one. Richie Tozier, the only member who had not been visited by Pennywise, asked if only virgins could see what the rest of the club could see, despite being a virgin himself. One of the funniest scenes, in my opinion, was when the Losers Club first realized the hallucinations they had been experiencing were all caused by a monstrous being. Unlike most horror movies, there were scenes in this film that gave viewers a good laugh. Richie Tozier, played by Finn WolfhardĪnother reason why the film was such a big hit was its comedic parts. After I returned home from the theater, I was terrified of using the bathroom even though I knew the movie was fiction. One scene that especially stood out was when he manifested as a torrent of blood in one of the character’s bathroom. Pennywise always showed up when a character was alone near running water since he lived in the sewers. The same also applies to faucets and sinks. Since the red balloon is an extremely commonplace object, the viewer will constantly be reminded of the movie. Even after the movie is over, that thought remains. As a person watches the film, he or she begins making the mental association between red balloons and fear. In almost all of the scenes leading up to a jump scare, there is a red balloon floating around. Another reason why people love this movie’s jump scares is that they leave a lasting impression. Although most of the jump scares were signaled by a change in background noise, there was no way of knowing what was going to pop up. The viewers can never predict what’s going to happen next since Pennywise can shape shift. Pennywise in the opening sceneĪ big part of what made this film so popular with viewers is its unique jump scares. I was closing my eyes and covering my ears half-way into the movie. Of course, the film was bone-chillingly scary as well. The CGI was very well done and the story was extremely interesting. In my opinion, this film is what all horror movies should aspire to be. As they learn more about the monster, they come face to face with what they fear most individually and the dark past of their hometown of Derry, Maine. The general plot follows a group of children called the Losers Club attempting to track down and kill a malevolent shapeshifting clown named Pennywise who devours children every 27 years. Needless to say, the movie was a huge success, making $123 million on its first weekend of release and breaking the sales record for the opening weekend of a horror movie. I, myself, went to see the film when it released along with a group of friends. On release day, the theaters were packed with fans of the “It” TV series along with people who just wanted a good scare. The film was based on the story “It” written by Stephen King and was directed by Andy Muschetti. On September 8th, the film “It” released in theaters across the globe.
