IT

New Line Cinema’s horror thriller "IT," directed by Andrés Muschietti ("Mama"), is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades. When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

This movie was everything that I hoped it would be.  It focused on the kids part of the story and took the time to develop all of them.  This gave the movie a real ET or Goonies feel in that aspect.  Penny wise the clown was AWESOME and creepy as hell.  Every time he spoke you were on the edge of your seat and it wasn't cheesy scares.  There was outright tension and fear throughout.  This was honestly one of the better overall Stephen King adaptations ever.  Like on the Stand By Me or Shawshank Redemption level.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.  It was an excellent watch and easily one of the better made scary movies in a long time.
