I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The fault may lie with me somewhat there, as I read the book first and had a certain level of expectation which I know never to do. But the rest of the responsibility I level straight at Tommy Lee Wallace and his film, which is just not that great. It does however, feature an astounding performance from the peerless Tim Curry as the piece's titular villain.

Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.

Loved this moving growing up. I wasn't even scared of this movie as a kid. In Milwaukee WI we had these woods that my friends and I called stick land. There was these creepy abandoned house in the middle of it. We used to act like that was Penny Wise's lair. The sucky thing was though is that we all got lice all the time from it lol. They all float down here and you will too!
