Stephen King's It 1990

I was a wimp after this movie as a kid. I couldn't even think the word IT when I was in the dark at night because I thought he would come get me lol. Tim Curry was terrifying and should have won many awards.

This was a very good 90 minute movie! Nothing else after the 90 minutes folks, nothing at all…

i read this book in the 6th grade, it changed my outlook on life. not sure why my teacher or parents allowed it, but i digress. the movie came out shortly after i finished and thought it barely scratched the surface of what was in the book. today it would have been a 4-6 episode mini-series of 1 hour each and that could have done it justice.

Why is this under shows? The new IT movies should therefore also shows..

this shitty clown scared the hell out of me when I was little. But the second part of the move with the spider is ridiculous...

when i watched this for the first time as a child i didn't sleep at all for like 2-3 days, hahah i was dumb.

Poor movie,great read,once again a fantastic tale from Stephen King is ruined when trying to make a movie version,read the book folks.

had way too high expectations. I think, it'd be ok if I watched it in 90s

This is definitely a classic. For someone who’s new to Stephen King, this would be the best starting point. I remember back when I was a kid, this use to scar the living hell out of me.

Despite loving Stephen King, I had gone my whole life not seeing this movie. I LOVED the remakes, but never circled back here. I can see this being absolutely terrifying back in the day, but it’s certainly dated 30+ years later with better versions now existing.

Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching

Must a movie be scary? Is it not enough to watch Tim Curry have the time of his life? The kid scenes have a sweetness and earnestness that buoy the material, there's some decent effect work, and John Ritter is always nice to watch. But Tim Curry is an utter delight and defined monster clowns for generations to come, and if he had me laughing more than shivering, isn't that still accomplishing the job of a clown?

10x better than the reboot.

It is a terrifying tale of horror from bestselling author Stephen King. When the small town of Derry experiences a rash of killings, a group of childhood friends must return after nearly 30 years in order to face an ancient evil. The casting is pretty good, and includes Harry Anderson, Annette O'Toole, John Ritter, and Tim Curry; who all deliver great performances. However, it's Curry's charismatic and frightening depiction of Pennywise that makes this film so powerful and terrifying. Additionally, the storytelling is well done; crafting a number of intense and horrific scenes. Haunting and chilling, It is a nightmare brought to life.

Tim Curry is great as Pennywise. The ending is very silly and really doesn't fit well with the rest of the movie.

Still disturbing, this is what made me hate clowns in the first place... so much better than the remake and much closer to the book which is also one of my favorites... if you haven’t you ought to read the book!

I know this movie is old. I will not compare effects when I saw this movie for the first time in 2018. But... this movie was so bad. Boring, actors were really bad and when you are watching a really long movie and story is so boring... well you are just talking to yourself: oh my glob, how long I have to watch this?

Like everyone else, this movie scared me so bad as a kid, specifically Pennywise, the clown. I decided to watch it recently, and I have to say some of it stands up well, while some stuff doesn't. The effects can be quite bad, especially at the end. The acting can be a little cheesy. The one scene that always makes me laugh is the one where Beverly starts throwing glass objects at her live-in boyfriend, but the thing that takes him down is a jar of lotion! Hilarious! Also, his slow-motion reaction is priceless.

The thing that is truly remarkable about this film is the acting of Tim Curry. You can't even identify him as Tim Curry, because he's so believable as this evil clown. The clown in the remake definitely isn't as scary. I think the scenes in the past with the kids are what stands out most, the present day actors could've been better.

Param 90 modeline yetti ,sinemada izlemiş sayılır mıyım ? Neyse ; güzeldi ,Stephen King 'in okumadığım bir romanından uyarlandığı için kitapla karşılaştırma yapamayacağım ,süresi uzundu fakat sıkılmadan izledim ,hem ne varsa eskilerde var . ( fakir avuntusu ). 7/10

I only recently saw this movie and while it is now dated in almost every way, the story is good and the kids were amazing in this movie. Tim Curry is phenomenal, when you think about the fact that he had to take on this role without the help of special effects like the 2017 remake. I can understand how kids would be scared out of their minds watching this movie.

Seriously a cult classic!!! I loved the movie and the book. When I was a kid clowns were weird to me anyways, but after watching this and finding out about John Wayne Gacy and going to old peoples houses with that weird crying clown "Bozo" or whoever.... I was done. But I can't wait to see what the remake will be like.

Didn't care for the book much, this adaption isn't too great either. Neither of them managed to really give me that anxiety-horror feeling.
