These days even the word “remake” is enough to make one’s eyes roll,
especially when it comes to horror. But the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s
classic novel IT comes 27 long years after the original TV
miniseries that starred Tim Curry as the iconic Pennywise (and to those
familiar with the clown's lore, the fact that it’s been 27 years might just be
enough to put the willies up you). And Andy Muschietti’s IT isn’t
necessarily just a remake of the terrifying terrestrial telling, either – it’s
the first cinematic representation of King's monster novel.
