First of all, the categories may be misleading. This film is listed as a romance and really doesn't merit that category other than a few scenes. This is a depressing drama about relationships told in a refreshing way. This isn't a bad thing, but viewers going into this movie looking for a romance will be hit with disappointment afterward.

Martha Harms stands out above a cast that already shines, in the role of the turmoiled wife Naomi. Keep an eye on her.

The movie moves at a snail's pace so it might not be for everybody, but if you are prepared for a slow burn this one might just surprise you if you give it a chance.

I finally got to check this out and, while it wasn't a terrible movie by any means, it was far from great.

The performances were pretty much top notch across the board but the scares left a little to be desired and the CGI was god-awful at times.

There were some truly incredible moments, but they were few and far between and just about any time the movie began to hold my interest for more than a few minutes it was quickly taken away from me again.

As much as I love the true horror of the book, perhaps the movie was better left to the campiness of the original.

I will, however, say bravo to Skarsgård for his portrayal of Pennywise, a performance that I daresay rivals that of Tim Curry.

How I went so long without knowing of the existence of this film will forever be a mystery to me. I am a huge fan of Adam Scott and to see him doing something so outside his typical wheelhouse was a pleasure to say the least.

At times hilarious, more often somber, this film delighted me from its opening shot to its final moments. Adam Scott's performance is pitch perfect and Brittany Snow is surprisingly incredible as well (I have never had a problem with her but she has never done anything memorable either).

It seems many go in expecting a comedy due to Scott's usual repertoire. Those who do may be disappointed but if you're looking for a low key dramedy then you won't be disappointed.
