No one remembers what happened, but they all made a promise to go back and that’s what they do.Įveryone is a believable older version of their younger selves. When a pretty brutal one occurs and you actually get to see Pennywise chomp down on this person, Mike knows it’s time to make some calls. Mike’s still living in Derry, trying to find a way to defeat Pennywise, and keeping track of the recent deaths. Twenty-seven years after the events of the first movie, all of the Loser’s Club have moved on with their lives…except Mike.
I also want to mention some trigger warnings such as domestic abuse, suicide, and homophobia for the movie. Side note: I realize the book and miniseries have been out for many years, but I’ll still keep this review spoiler-free. IT was easily my favorite movie of 2017, is still one of my favorite movies today, and that’s funny coming from someone who was scared of Tim Curry’s Pennywise for many years. Defeated by members of the Losers’ Club, the evil clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to terrorize the town of Derry, Maine, once again.
