I watched this movie A few weeks ago. I had not watched the first one so I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I liked the fact that it was well organized and the characters were developed. I could picture what the child’s life was like based on hints that the filmmaker gave. For instance with the main girl character which I can’t recall her name at this moment. The viewer was able to tell she was going through a tough time her father was abusing her. Her way of dealing with it was her image she cut her hair like a boy at almost the end of the movie. This was her way of coping with the pain. Also the children were being over protective and not allowed to be children. Another concept that I enjoyed about the movie was that it wasn’t really scary it had a lot of comedy. For instance when the kids were throwing rocks at each other it had a voice over with a weird sound in slow motion. That is one of the ways the filmmaker played with the audience. It himself was very creative in the ways he would show up and scare the child for instance when they were watching the film he appeared as a women. Then when the women’s hair flew from her face you can see his face and he is smiling. Another way he appeared was when the girl character was cutting her hair and putting a metric meter inside the sink because she heard a noise. He threw blood all over the bathroom and then the girls father came in the room but he wasn’t able to see anything only the kids were able to see all the blood on the walls. They also helped her clean it up which was odd. I think “It” just wanted the kids.


I saw this not long ago too – and I agree with you about how it mixes comedy with the horror elements. There are scary moments for sure, but I left the theater much less scared than I thought I’d be. I’m looking forward to part two with the adult version of the story.
