‘It’ Is the Most ‘Blood-Curdling Film of the Year’ and 6 Other Unnerving Reviews
Pennywise is back to terrify a whole new generation in “It,” and critics approve. The New Line Cinema adaption of Stephen King’s famous novel has a score of 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics are calling it the most “blood-curdling film of the year and possibly the best King adaptation yet,” as well as an “entertaining” and “smart adaptation” of the novel that gave us Pennywise the Clown.
“Andy Muschietti’s feature film adaptation of the first half of the novel is in many ways a remarkable feat of condensation that hits most of the major points in the narrative,” wrote TheWrap’s film critic Dan Callahan.
