CoffinVideo1983

Honestly, I was expecting a lot more from It Chapter 2 after seeing the first film. I normally take a day to let the movie sink in before I try to write a review, but i was so bored during the movie that I used the time to start critiquing it while watching.

To start with, I just don't know how well It really translates from book to film. Even with two very long movies it just doesn't capture the essence of the book and ends up being an extremely long way to make the point that you should face your fears. Perhaps a mini series would be a better way to go with it.

That being said, I'll move on to the actual elements of the movie....

I thought the casting for the first film was excellent. They couldn't have found a better kid actor for each of the roles. In the second film however, I cant say the same. I did really enjoy Bill Hader as Richie and thought he brought a lot to the film besides just his comedy. The rest of the loser club cast I just couldn't get behind. All of the characters felt so unimportant that I basically forgot their roles the second the movie was over. Maybe thats the point to the "Losers Club" and if so, it was very effective.

Bill Skarsgard was just amazing as Pennywise! I thought so in both the first and second films. I would have liked to have seen more full body shots of Pennywise though. I think Skarsgard really embodied the role and had he received more screen time to do full body acting... I think he would set the standard for the role of Pennywise. Unfortunately, the films go so CGI crazy that most of Pennywise's scenes are just a clowns head on some random monster body.

Speaking of CGI... there was a lot. And none of it was very convincing. Also, I get that Pennywise is very personal as to how he uses each characters fears against them, but the vast array of ways he presents himself and does each scare is so different that it almost takes away from the fluidity of the movie. I think they tried to use every single horror trope there was throughout the filming.

In conclusion, if you've already seen the first film... you have to finish the journey and watch the second. I will say that much. However, if this would have been a stand alone movie, I would definitely say to skip it.

I give It: Chapter Two 4 out of 10.

Get ready to fall in love all over again...

If you're anything like me and grew up in the late 80's and 90's... A time where horror movies consisted of unstoppable Slashers, full frontal shower scenes, and that creepy guy that always seemed to warn you that everyone was going to die if you proceeded onward... Then you're probably also in the same boat of missing those types of horror bobbydazzlers.

Well, ladies and gentlemen... I present you with Art the Clown. Art is a demented, fecal smearing, tiny top hat wearing, horn honking, murderous clown that always seems to get the most enjoyment and pleasure from murdering his victims. He's raw, extremely violent, and has a wonderful taste for gore covered in more gore.

As a slasher style horror movie villain, Art gives audiences everything they're looking for in a horror movie icon, but with a new, modern take on the role. First of all, we have absolutely no idea where Art is from, how he got here, or even what he is for that matter... and not knowing just makes him all the more intriguing. And if that's not creepy enough for you... he's also a completely silent character. Yep, no talking from this guy; however, with his subtle movements and sinister grins he somehow embodies all the charisma of a young Freddy Kruger. This is in a large part due to the amazing acting of David Howard Thornton as Art the Clown. Thornton is a huge fan of, not only the horror icon greats, but the like of such silent film stars as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Rudolph Valentino. His classic comedic acting style, alongside his creepy mannerisms, gives Art an identity like no other.

So grab some popcorn, gummy bears, and that extra large cherry coke... then try to keep it all down as you watch Art stab, shoot, strip, skin, murder, maim, and massacre his way into the hearts of horror fans everywhere.

***Side Note: Art Originally appears in the short film "The Ninth Circle" and the later short film "Terrifier" which are also must see films. If you can't find them on YouTube or floating around the net somewhere... You can catch both of them in their entirety in the horror anthology film "All Hallows Eve."

I give Terrifier, and Art himself, a very loving 10 out of 10!!!!

Preface: I'm a huge fan of the remake of I spit on your Grave, which is rare for me to enjoy a remake of anything, but it really is that good.

So... How do you top Sarah Butler (Jennifer) decimating backwoods rednecks in the ISOYG remake? Well, start with Jemma Dallender (Katie Carter) in a little red dress, then toss her into the seedy underworld of the human trafficking market in Bulgaria!

I'll put it this way... Saw and Hostel went to see this movie in theaters, and threw up their popcorn. Not only does the movie perfectly capture what this newly resurrected franchise is all about, but the fact that it takes place in Bulgaria within such a real life modern nightmare such as that of human trafficking just makes it an anxiety driven ride on the edge of your seat.

The only thing that overshadows just how HOTT Jemma Dallender is in this movie, is just how badass is she is on top of it!

If you're a fan of these , Revenge, Repeat type of films... Go ahead and click play! You're gonna love every minute.

A very deserving 8 out of 10!!!
