À Derry, dans le Maine, aux États-Unis, 7 gamins, ayant du mal à s’intégrer, se sont regroupés au sein du Club des Ratés. Rejetés par leurs camarades, ils sont les cibles favorites des gros durs de l’école. Ils ont aussi en commun d’avoir éprouvé leur plus grande terreur face à un terrible prédateur métamorphe qu’ils appellent Ça…

Octobre 1988, petite ville de Derry. Par un après-midi pluvieux de début d'été, le jeune Georgie s'apprête à sortir pour jouer dans la rue avec une belle petite barque en papier, fabriquée avec tant de soin par son grand frère Billy qui ne peut pas sortir de la maison car il est grippé. L'enfant joue et court joyeusement jusqu'à ce que le jouet ne tombe dans une bouche d'égout d'où sort un mystérieux clown qui lui propose de lui rendre le bateau et de lui offrir un joli ballon coloré. Le sympathique clown, cependant, n'est autre qu'une créature monstrueuse qui dévore les enfants et entraîne avec lui Georgie. Deux ans plus tard, Derry redevient le théâtre de mystérieuses disparitions d'enfants, toutes perpétrées par ce clown assassin qui vit dans les égouts de la ville et qui prend pour cible sept enfants, tous unis par des problèmes de relation avec les autres et victimes de harcèlement en raison de leur différence et de leur manque de "normalité". Les amis s'appellent le groupe des "Perdants" et ce sont eux qui affronteront le monstre au sein de la plus classique des batailles entre le bien et le mal. Il y a des films qui n'ont pas besoin de présentation et qui sont si bien ancrés dans l'imaginaire collectif qu'ils sont reconnus instantanément même par ceux qui vont au cinéma juste une fois par an. L'un des exemples les plus célèbres est sans aucun doute celui de "Ça", le clown assassin né de l'esprit fertile de Stephen King et protagoniste de l'un de ses romans les plus réussis, qui arrive à l'écran en 1990 avec une minisérie télévisée en deux épisodes... les deux épisodes les plus effrayants de tous les temps, surtout pour ceux qui ont eu le malheur de le regarder à un âge encore infantile. Depuis ce moment-là, en effet, le clown a définitivement perdu sa dimension comique pour prendre une aura diabolique et de pure terreur qui s'est ensuite transformée en une longue série de films qui, à partir de "Ça" lui-même, avaient pour protagonistes des clowns assassins (nous nous souvenons, par exemple, du récent "Clown" de Jon Watts). Bref, un véritable mythe et une icône du cinéma qui revient aujourd'hui, 27 ans plus tard, sur grand écran grâce à un remake réalisé par Andy Muschietti, lequel, après le bon succès de "La Mère", se retrouve devant l'occasion de sa vie pour s'installer définitivement. Une chance saisie à plein grâce à un remake très convaincant, à la personnalité bien décidée et marquée et, surtout, capable de faire peur comme, et peut-être même plus que, le film précédent, lui donnant également une plus grande substance narrative. C'est justement le travail d'écriture, en effet, le vrai point fort de ce nouveau "Ça" puisque le réalisateur, avec le scénariste Chase Palmer, parvient à créer un scénario dans lequel tous les éléments sont bien équilibrés entre eux : il y a la partie comique donnée par des répliques malicieuses et une ironie très subtile et intelligente ; il y a plusieurs pistes de réflexion qui reflètent néanmoins une histoire à forte valeur symbolique et riche en contenu ; il y a ensuite, enfin, la dose immanquable de peur et de terreur en quantité industrielle avec un Pennywise vraiment effrayant et plus méchant que jamais. Les caractères de tous les protagonistes sont très bien définis, chacun ayant droit à un espace presque équitable, à l'exception du personnage de Mike, le jeune homme de couleur, qui, par rapport au film de 1990, passe beaucoup plus en second plan. Du point de vue plus strictement horrifique, Muschietti convainc mais avec quelques réserves dues au fait que les scènes de peur contiennent tout ce qui peut facilement faire sursauter le spectateur peu habitué à se confronter à ce genre. Nous assistons donc à des sauts sonores, à des apparitions soudaines d'un clown maquillé de manière beaucoup plus sombre que son prédécesseur et à quelques images gore, légères mais néanmoins très frappantes. Tous des éléments qui, bien qu'ils représentent une série de clichés, contribuent à créer des atmosphères inquiétantes qui transmettent une angoisse continue. Excellent aussi le casting dans lequel se distingue l'excellent Bill Skarsgård dans le rôle d'un Ça destiné à devenir inoubliable vraiment effrayant, ainsi que les excellents enfants parmi lesquels nous nous souvenons Jaeden Lieberher, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard et Jack Dylan Grazer. Bref, enfin un remake réussi et rappelez-vous...Ça est de retour !

This movie went right to the trash. I cannot believe what Warner Bros has done for this piece of trash. Yes, there have been rave reviews for this movie, but we recommend that you do not mind them, as we should not be teaching children on how to safely get sodomized by a monster.

These directors' brains are also in the trash. Now let's put the MPAA R rating right into the trash where it is supposed to go. Final warning: Don't let your kids watch trash.

More Fucked-Up-Coming-of-Age than Monster-Movie-Slasher-Horror. Which is what it should be, but perhaps not what it's marketed to be. Stephen King's It is one of my all time favourite books, and I don't know that it will ever get a faithful adaptation (totally understandable seeing as the thing is 1200 pages and contains a multi-book spanning mythology of Space Gods and Turtle vomit), but this does a pretty good job of interpreting the feeling of the novel, even if it's not a great adaptation the events as a whole.

The kids are all great, Skarsgård makes for a good Pennywise, Pennywise improves as the piece moves forward, and the town is completely believable as "Derry" in the '80s. It may not be all it's purported to be, but is a very impressive film on its own merits.

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

If you are gonna watch this movie go to the theatres and watch it...It's way more scarier than Annabelle: Creation and you will have lots of jump scares too.

Something certainly rings true in the horror thriller It that capitalizes on that common known fear that clowns are creepy annoyances to those that have an intense phobia towards them. In the case of It’s dastardly powder-faced joyboy or shall we say corrosive killjoy Pennywise the Dancing Clown, he definitely takes the cake in terms of his treacherous tendencies to quiet the unsuspecting kiddies in devious fashion. Here is a tip, parents, do not invite the poisonous Pennywise to your kids’ birthday party any time soon to blow up balloons and sing songs. This is just a friendly little warning. There is more to elaborate on regarding the sicko circus funnypants freak later.

Director Andy Muschietti (‘Mama’) delves into this surprisingly delicious twisted and terrorizing tale of a killer clown that gets his jollies off snuffing the lives out of rural-based youngsters in this calculating frightfest that pushes all the right buttons of panic and perversion. Skilfully edgy and traumatically tasty, It is a refreshing throwback to old-fashioned gory-minded gems where the boundaries of old-fashioned scare tactics were designed not only by the actual act of homicidal happenings but the mere suggestive nature of the heinous hedonism taking place. Polished and gripping in its shadowy and shifty overtones, It is convincingly probing as an absorbing psychological character study with an off-kilter sense of defiance in its naughty commentary on youthful innocence being compromised.

Based on the novel from famed hair-raising author Stephen King, It delivers the solid, sordid goods of a wild and wicked imagination following the acidic exploits of a menacing clown in the aforementioned Pennywise (played with penetrating and devilish aplomb by Bill Skarsgard from ‘Atomic Blonde’) whose murderous methods of slaughtering the young has been a staple signature in his madness for centuries now. The surviving tykes in the quaint town of Derry, Maine must now safeguard themselves from the makeup-wearing whackjob and figure out a way to terminate the baggy-panted beast before he continues to strike again and victimize another doomed child.

The backstory behind Pennywise’s existence is that he is some shape-shifting demon that emerges from the sewers only to target the unlucky rugrat in his immediate path while conniving, and conducting his blood-thirsty ways. However, there are a group of children that refuse to play dead for the demented clown and the quest to create an ill-advised showdown with the deplorable Pennywise would prove to be a very violent and mentally scarring experience in the process.

The story centres around young Bill (Jaeden Lieberher, ‘Allegiant’) and his early encounter with the sadness of unknowingly witnessing Pennywise’s wrath as it was inferred that the clown had to do with the demise of his precious little brother, George (Jackson Robert Scott), who never returned after enthusiastically wanting to work on a fun project in the basement. This haunting revelation sticks with poor Bill until this very day.

Nowadays, Bill must cope with the typical obstacles at school avoiding bullies and dealing with the pitfalls of peer pressure and needing to belong to a group of trusty associates. Thus, Bill is able to cement close relationships with the town’s other free-spirited youngsters. Still, there is that hovering myth about the mysterious sewers and, yes, the evil-minded Pennywise is at the forefront of fearful concern for Bill and the bunch. In fact, the gang will succumb to their collection of fears, paranoia and hesitation as the suburban legend of the creep-seeking clown clouds each of the kids’ tainted psyches.

The ensemble of young actors in It all register accordingly with their characters’ childhood shock in trying to overcome the overwhelming and petrifying mindset that has invaded their sensibilities. Lieberher has an authentic raw turn as the lead lad invested in the bizarre boundaries of matching wits with the demonic chalk-skinned trickster and his committed craziness. The other supporting cast of exposed kiddies on this adventurous train wreck of terror includes Sophia Lillis (’37’), Finn Wolfhard (from television’s ‘Stranger Things’), Jeremy Ray Taylor (‘Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Road Chip’), Wyatt Oleff (‘Guardians Of The Galaxy”), Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer (‘Tales Of Halloween’) and Nicholas Hamilton (‘Captain Fantastic’).

There is no doubt that Skarsgard’s clown of corrosion in Pennywise steals the show with his nefarious nature blistering shamelessly in seedy-minded elation. Clearly, Skarsgard chews the tarnished scenery with his abominable costumed cretin tip toeing on the unassuming sidelines while striking gory goosebump moments for his pubescent prey on screen and the twitchy audience off screen.

Sure, It suffers from the conventional trappings of cheesy false alarm jolts and the obligatory lurking in the dark sequences are arbitrarily tossed in as an aftermath for the legitimate lunacy of our star-making crazed and corruptible clown to perform his showboating insanity. Besides, what horror showcase has not welcomed the invitation of the overused and abused jump-scare techniques highlighted by a jittery soundtrack? Still, Muschietti and screenwriters Chase Palmer, Cary Joji Funkunga and Gary Dauberman manage to supply the infectious and insidious It with well-executed scary shenanigans, well-paced anxiety, wavering vulnerability and decent acting on behalf of the performers that aptly brought to life the eerie visions and vitality of King’s complex, creative mind.

Truly It is one of the best harrowing and in-depth horror/psychological thrillers to emerge in 2017. Also this titillating tale of cautionary kiddie chaos may be one of King’s formidable movie adaptions since the effective tension-filled, off-the-wall brilliance of 1990’s Misery.

It is a movie that looked interesting, but I wasn't necessarily anticipating, because it had the potential to be awful. After seeing it, I can say that while it is good, I don't think it's nearly as good as other people are saying it is, and it had the potential to be. Starting off with the good, the film has some fantastic performances from the kids. I think the best performances in the film are from Andy Skaarsgard (or however you spell it) for Pennywise, and the kid who had asthma. I don't know his name, and I haven't seen him in anything before, but he stole the show. The movie also has some pretty scary moments. The scene inside of the house is one of the scariest scenes of the year, and there are lost of images that were genuinely disturbing. While the films was full of cheesy dialogue, the conversations between the kids are extremely entertaining and captivating. When it came to characters, MOST of the characters are well done and fleshed out. And that leads me to one of the 4 things that keep this film from being great in my eyes. Some characters, such as the bullies and Stan, and bland and have no back story. Therefore, whenever they are put in danger, it isn't nearly as scary as with other characters. Another reason I didn't love this film is the rock fight scene. Basically, the Losers Club stumbles upon the bullies and they throw rocks at each other. The rocks seemingly bounce off of their head without any problems like a trampoline. No one gets killed, or even knocked out. Overall, it was a very bad scene. For the most part the special effects were pretty good. However, the leper outside of the creepy house was awful. The costume would be great if it were for a haunted house or prank, but not for a big budgeted horror movie. When it came on screen I literally thought it was a bully playing tricks on him. And the last problem I have with the film is that the police are seemingly nowhere, along with parents. Mild spoilers One of the bullies murders his dad, a police officer, and then around a few scenes later, the son dies too. The bullies like to go around thereatening kids with knives and carving H's into their bellies. I think we would see at least one police officer investegating something in the film, and if not, I think my parents would notice if one day I came home and there was a gigantic blood pool on my shirt. Overall, It is a very fun movie. There are certainly better movies out there, but with this, I have an urge to go watch it again in theaters. It is a perfectly fun popcorn flick.

Score: 7.5/10

Great acting, memorable characters. One of the best (horror?) films I've watched.

Greatest remake of a movie ever made in my opinion. Even way scary then the original. Remade the death scenes way better as well. Love it!

Every 27 years, the town of Derry experiences sudden, violent and inexplicable mayhem. In 1989, a group of school children rather unkindly called "The Losers Club" decide it is for them to investigate just what has happened. Led by "Bill" (Jaeden Martell) whose younger brother was a victim, these brave kids are soon on the trail of the shapeshifting "Pennywise" - a being from another dimension who frequently takes the shape of a clown. Question is - are these youngsters any match for this lethal and despicable foe? Andy Muschietti has done well here with this film. He manages to combine the more traditional spookiness of the old dark house, with a group of likeable characters who demonstrate the benefits of trust and teamwork as they take on this evil. As with most good horror films, the seemingly invincible must have a weakness, otherwise the plot becomes unsustainable - and this one allows the youngsters to define and exploit this whilst still maintaining enough shock moments and sense of menace to keep the thing interesting. The dialogue isn't the best, but that is not so important here - it's still a really well paced and genuinely scary story that engenders fear from something so outwardly benign as a clown - normally the symbol of joy and happiness. I rarely jump at the cinema nowadays, but this does work!
