Stephen King's It

This really isnt that bad of a movie, i actually do like it but it doesn't do justice to the book. One thing i really hate about the movie is that they changed the ending adding fuel to the common misconception about IT just being a giant spider instead of that just being the form it took to fight them in the end.

I would like to see someone redo this and split it into two movies. One with the kids, the other with them as adults. That way you can spend more time with the story and get it right and not have to change so many things.

One thing i loved about the movie though was Tim Curry as Pennywise. He's awesome.

I like Haunted. If you look at it as psychological horror and from the perspective of the guy, it's great. You can't say too much about the movie without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.

Definitely. One of my favorite things about that movie was Tim Curry.

They're making a movie out of It, right? Do we know who's going to be playing Pennywise yet?

They've been talking about doing it for awhile, who knows if it'll actually get made

We need another killer clown movie. It, would be perfect. The first killjoy was ok. In a comical straight B rate movie kinda way. Plus the orignal even though made for tv we all still know "WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE" and kept many of my friends afraid of drain grates most their lives. huh ha. Gotta love them clowns

I think the problem with making killer clown movies is that they always infuse too much humor into it as if even the people making the movies think that clowns aren't scary. I'd like to see one that is straight up dark and serious about a killer clown.

Although i will say i love Killer Klowns From Outer Space

Couldn't agree with you more on both points. We need a true killer clown more killing less on comical. And the Killer Klowns from outer Space is awesome. "What in tarnations goin around here? Gimme back my dog."

"The haunting of Bryan Becket" 6/10

"After the mysterious death of his Aunt, a confirmed skeptic lawyer, Bryan Becket, dismisses reports that his Aunt's house is haunted and moves in. Immediately occurrences begin he cannot explain."


Sure, both title and story sounds cliche and the cover looks like crap.

And yes, it WAS cliche. But the first hour build-up actually worked out very well with enough strange stuff happening in the house to keep it entertaining. Then the female psychic turned up and it all went forgettable from there. Too bad.

Honestly that would work as a horror movie.
