Stephen King's It Remake 2017

[Wor-Gar]

Is this movie good enough to take the wife and spend $15 per ticket? Honestly?

Or is this a fan movie with nostalgia for the book/Tim Curry built in?

would your wife like the goonies in the big screen? or Stand By Me

the movie is basically 80% goonies group in the Stand by Me town dealing with a clown. 20% clown. the clown parts are very amazing but few. the ending is pretty much worth the ticket.
I dont regret watching it, I dont regret spending on it, I just wish it was more balanced. I wanted more creepy things.

BUT the movie is definitely a great movie. the kids are great. the town is great. the creepy haunted house is really good. I never finished the book and I wasn't a huge fan of the miniseries so nostalgia for me is not a factor. the movie is good if you go in knowing that it is more like Stand By me. kids walking around the woods and bonding

 

[Wor-Gar]

I liked Stand By Me a lot. Also liked Stranger Things.

Not a fan at all of Goonies.


I want more clown than 20%... I think. Maybe less clown is better though, if the clown is only so-so.

i forgot about stranger things,
Stranger things is the perfect example. the clown shows up as much as the monster did in stranger things.
The kids are almost the same as stranger things as far as their friendship.

this movie is almost like if they made a movie about stranger things but replaced the monster creature with the clown. if you love stranger things you would love this.
if you didnt mind that stranger things didnt have that many scary scenes then you would love this movie

I say goonies just because of the way the kids relate to each other. not the plot.

this whole time i thought you were a girl

Is she a girl?

Yeah, it sounded to me like this is very much like Stranger Things, which the wife and I liked a lot. OK, so we should see it.

 

[HODLr]

Yeah. She creeped me out.

I really liked the initial shot of headless. When you just saw his legs...but you knew what was coming as soon as he took another step and still no face was shown. The egg drops were awesome though also "hey egg boy!" Haha. That was a very Tim Curry moment



Holy whoa! Do you sell prints?!

I'm also interested.

 

[ironwez20]

I honestly thought he called that kid big boy not egg boy but egg boy now makes more sense.

What Inspired Nightmarish New ‘IT’ Flute Lady Creature?

You may have noticed that the woman from the painting, played by actress Tatum Lee, looks a whole lot like the title character from Muschietti’s previous film, Mama. Both Mama and the new Pennywise form, named Judith in the film’s credits, have the same elongated, deformed face, as well as the same set of eerily vacant eyes.

Muschietti revealed that the inspiration behind Judith was actually Italian-Jewish artist Amedeo Modigliani, whose paintings clearly also inspired the look of Mama.


“It’s a literal translation of a very personal childhood fear,” Muschietti told the site, narrating the scene where Judith first appears. “In my house, there was a print of a Modigliani painting that I found terrifying. And the thought of meeting an incarnation of the woman in it would drive me crazy.”

He continued, describing the late Modigliani’s work…

“He often does these portraits with elongated characters. His vision of humans were with elongated necks, crooked faces and empty eyes most of the time. It was so deformed that as a child, you don’t see that as an artist’s style. You see it as a monster.”

Just as IT takes the form of whatever scares any given child, it sounds like Modigliani’s paintings have haunted Andy Muschietti ever since he first laid eyes on them as a child. That childhood fear has clearly stuck with him all these years, haunting his early horror work and resulting in the creation of two truly terrifying movie monsters.

Check out some of Modigliani’s actual paintings below.

I thought del toro did mama ? Anyway that flute lady was indeed creepy. Painting can definitely creep you out. Something very unsettling about the way that lady's face was all contorted and she's so tall.










I'd still hit it tho

 

[crows]

he only produced it i think.

“He often does these portraits with elongated characters. His vision of humans were with elongated necks, crooked faces and empty eyes most of the time. It was so deformed that as a child, you don’t see that as an artist’s style. You see it as a monster.”

It was a bit "nostalgic" (if that's the appropriate word here?) watching that scene, because when I was little I had a big fear of unnaturally elongated faces. Seeing drawings of characters from games, comics, etc, who's faces where stretched out always bothered me very badly.

crows knows I'm a guy, but since there was confusion with Eddie, I dunno - maybe I should change my avatar to avoid confusion.

Nah, on second thought, I'll stick with it.

Anyway that flute lady was indeed creepy. Painting can definitely creep you out. Something very unsettling about the way that lady's face was all contorted and she's so tall.

I thought that flute lady was scarier than Pennywise. I've never had a fear of clowns, but emotionless, pale, deformed women just standing there staring at you - get that stuff away from me.

Absolutely not. If this movie was like Stranger Things I'd love it!

No 80's tone.
The town's a lifeless background for main characters.
80% of horror stuff is typical modern crap and jump scares.
Near the end it went full ****** and made me say WTF a lot.
Poor adaptation of the book.

I like the Clown a lot tho. Bill Skarsgard is a ****in' creep!
That Georgie scene, the one with slide projector and when they group against it fot the first time were freaky.
Bev's a nice character played by good actress. Bathroom scene was great.
Some funny moments between The Losers, tho their relationship felt very forced overall.

If this was a "Stranger Things" like mini-series then it'd be the best adaptation of King's work, but alas...

 

[Caped Baldy]

I must be the only one in the world who didn't love Stranger Things. It was just okay to me.

Well, u are comparing a 2 hour movie with a 12 hour series.
Of course the show can have more character development with the adults.

But lets look at the basic plot.
Small town, a boy disappears, strange things start to.happen in the town. Other kids disappear as well.
Group of friends/ brother of the kid missing start to investigate, we see their bonding. they are joined by a girl that helps them. Creature uses portals/sewers to travel around and kidnap people. Black kid becomes the badass, has weapon. Kids joined to attack monster.

Im literally describing both stranger things and IT

She really creeps me out
