Stephen King's It (DVD)

My Opinion Of The Film Ok, I don't really know where to begin with this one. lol! The first time that I watched this I ended up turning it off half way through it because I could not bear to watch it any more. See, I have a big fear of clowns. I am not sure where it all began, I do think it is thanks to a certain clown in the Blackpool tower when I was a child though.

Stephen King's "It" Released November 18th, 1990 Every true lover of horror movies has either seen this movie or they own it and its likely that they have also read the book! I will never forget the first time I saw this movie at a drive in theater in California, the memory of this movie still haunts some of dreams even now! In true Stephen King style, this movie is excellent and sticks very close to the book, really brining the words into life! The only down side to this movie is that it is extremely long and a little slow in a few spots but the rest of the movie makes up for it! I suggest watching this one curled up on ...  Read the complete review
