Bill Skarsgard (who played Pennywise) was really nervous and concerned that he was traumatizing the child actors with his performance. After one especially intense scene one of the kids snapped out of his scared acting and enthusiastically told Skarsgard he really liked what he was doing with the character.
Here's A nice info for those who don't know. In the book the story ends with the Kids having a gangbang with the girl :D Yeah Stephen King is a fucked up man.
Imagine approaching a child actor to apologise only to be told by the kid “Phenomenal delivery Bill, the audience shall feel exhilarated once we’ve refined our craft”
To offer an explanation as to why the adults in this town seem to be a bit off, it’s explained in the book that the monster has such an influence over the town that no matter how violent and horrible things get, everyone just seems to ignore it.
@@lmprettywhenicry Most adults can’t see him. There are some exceptions, of course but most of the adult population is oblivious to his existence. The reason they ignore the horrible stuff that happens is because he has some level of control or influence over them. It’s hard to explain. It’s kind of like the whole town is cursed or something.
So it's not really explained in the movie, but Pennywise terrorizes his prey first because he likes the way fear tastes. It's his way of "seasoning the meat". So he shapeshifts into whatever his potential victims are most afraid of.
@@ju2545 Georgie had to reach in the dark sewer to retrieve his boat, he was full of fear having to do that. And Pennywise smelled it in the arm that reached into the void.
2:44 it’s noted in the novel that Pennywise is the town itself, and exerts unimaginable influence. And IT causes adults to ignore/not notice it’s actions and it’s vile influence
Pennywise is a being, it just preys (in more recent history) on Derry. It’s gone for adults multiple times in the books too, but children are just more easy to scare
@@rosathaisI used this against my mom in a quick argument we were having about my heart meds. I just yelled out "They're gazebos!" Our argument stopped immediately and we just laughed thinking back to that moment about Eddie and his mom yelling at each other about medication. Just like we were. A ridiculous little movie line made us laugh and stopped an argument from escalating because the ridiculousness of it totally broke all the anger and tension. Never thought a horror movie line would help me in my family life. 😂
Their visions aren’t visions. Everything they’re seeing is real. PennyWise holds a trance like state over the entire town. Didn’t y’all notice the adults never really cared? The adults see everything the kids are seeing but it’s normal & perfectly fine to them. Pennywise keeps the adults in a state where they just don’t care. PennyWise has been in Derry for a very, very long time. Lastly, the reason why PennyWise scares the kids, their personal encounters with PennyWise, is because it salts the meat. PennyWise loves to scare the kids first, he says it makes them “taste” better. Yes, there is a “IT” “Chapter 2”.
Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise is BRILLIANT. In the original 1990 mini-series, Tim Curry's Pennywise was mostly comedic. But Bill's performance is more creepy and frightening while also being a little comedic at times.
Here's A nice info for those who don't know. In the book the story ends with the Kids having a gangbang with the girl :D Yeah Stephen King is a fucked up man.
@@Jedicakestop the cap without Tim curry’s epic performance as pennywise there would be no scarier version original IT always better 🤷🏾♂️ it’s just facts
@@Jedicake no, Tim Curry made pennywise iconic. Which is why it was loved and remade. Tim was able to imitate a friendly, funny clown perfectly which made it so much creepier when he snapped. Bill's just stays creepy, there is no way as a child I would converse with Bill's pennywise, but Tim's, I can see being lured in.

Remember that IT isn't just Pennywise the clown. Pennywise is just a form it uses to instill fear in the kids, because kids are scared of clowns. It covers the entire town in an aura of apathy and negativity in order to feed on scared kids. IT can manifest everywhere, even on people's tvs. Ever notice how all the kids parents are super shitty, and spend a bunch of time in front of the tv? IT is making the town the perfect breeding ground for vulnerable kids, so IT can terrify and eat them. Watch the movie back, and you'll see IT disguised as bystanders like the librarian or as graffiti or any number of things, always watching the kids.
There's a deleted scene showing Henry in the car as the kids go into the house. In it, you see that he also murdered his two friends whose bodies are sitting in the car with him.
1:42 "I would have been just like this kid. I am not necessary afraid of clowns. I would've talked to him" Sorry bro. a clown in the sewer wanting to play with a kid is a huge red flag lol
Great reaction guys. No surprise there. If no one has answered it yet. The reason for him slowly showing the kids their fears is because it makes them tastier. I believe its from the book that "IT" says its like "salting the meat." So fear is like seasoning your food. That's why IT targets kids because they're easier to scare which equals tastier food. That doesn't mean adults are completely off the menu. Hope you guys watch "Chapter Two"
You are correct. Also, I believe the book also said that children's fears are more based on fantasy, which makes the fear stronger, which makes sense if you think about it. If IT takes the form of their fears, IT can become anything. For adults, their fears are different. What would IT take the form of for an adult, a high electric bill? The mortgage?
@@lilmanq7746 absolutely. The fears of children are easier to manipulate, as their brains aren't fully formed yet. In the book, some adults don't even see IT or notice ITs presence. If you haven't done so already, read the book. It's amazing and truly scary. There are also a lot of things in the book that couldn't be put in the movies, due to time constraints and other things. Also, there's a mini-series coming out in 2025 on HBO called "Welcome to Derry" that might cover some of the things from the book that weren't in the movies.
@@ju2545 It's a lot of stuff that doesn't make any sense on that one. Another one is how Stan committed you know what (I don't wanna get cancelled for using words) to stay ''close to them'', to ''support'' them, to make them ''stronger''?. I actually didn't even understand the 'reasoning' they invented for that one on the film. They could've just kept him alive to get killed by Pennywise at that point. The ending is super altered, anyways.
@@AleksPizana yeah but Stan wouldn’t have to worry about IT anymore because now that he’s an adult, he’s too old to see IT, just like the rest of the losers club.
Pennywise has crazy powers. He has the town especially adults under his control. It's like being in a fog it's why there's so many child missing cases or horror things and nothing is done. It symbolizes bullying etc. As a kid and adults not doing anything about it.
Watching the making of these movies is very intriguing. Bill Skarsgård is amazing and how his eyes can naturally look in 2 different directions, he is also almost scarier playing Pennywise without the make up. Can’t wait to watch you review IT Chapter 2.
7:02 This was one of the coolest creepy moments in recent horror film, because it's meant to make you question what you saw. The Librarian behind him... most reactors don't see it.
28:02 I forget what it's called, Munchausen by proxy. It's when somebody seeks attention by needing to be pitied by using illness, but "by proxy" involve doing it to a loved one. Some call it "factitious disorder."
Being a fan of the novel (my second favorite coming just behind The Stand), you have no clue how amped I was during the house on Neibolt St. and the Apocalyptic Rock Fight scenes, both were left out of the previous miniseries version
But the second film was kinda bad in comparison, I think. The opening scene was straight from the novel, but the rest of the film was all over the place and, while I think that IT is almost impossible to adapt, it didn't make it justice how weak it ended up being.
"IT" was the first "grown-up" novel that I read. I think I was 14 and in 8th grade, so around 1992-93. After "IT", I also read "The Stand." For me, I put "IT" slightly ahead of the 2, but can easily see how you have it the other way around. I also enjoyed "The Eye of the Dragon", "The Mist" and "The Long Walk." The last 2 were short stories. I'd love for a movie to be made of "The Long Walk"
Here's A nice info for those who don't know. In the book the story ends with the Kids having a gangbang with the girl :D Yeah Stephen King is a fucked up man.
Pennywise actor (Bill) was kept away from the whole kid cast crew until his scene with them are up for shooting, it was director orcer, so he would be an actual surprise for them when it's come to shooting that specific scene. The book version of this series is WAY more gross, and grim than the one we got as film and TV series.
A lot of people don’t like the second film, because it has a different mood than the first, but for me-taken as a one-two punch, it’s a quality horror experience 👍
I don't dislike the 2nd chapter, but I didn't like it quite as much. The producers said they heard that people liked the haunted house scene the most, so they pushed that more in chapter 2.
13:25 I'm several days late and don't see any other comments mentioning it but yes you're right. Its an animated movie called Monster House and it's a fun movie
It’s not a vision when they are getting attacked by their fears. It is a being that preys on children and attacks them with their biggest fears. No adults can see It. It can transform and become your biggest fear.
In the original book, the kids were set in the late 1950's and the modern era was the early 80's, which is why some behaviors are 'off' from what you expect, like the tighty whities and the overt racism and bullying. Also in the book there is a subtle but present idea that they have some kind of divine help when they are together as one(as the first time at the rock fight), and that they are part of a war between extraplanar beings, Maturin the Great Turtle, and It, the Spider with the Deadlights.
@@mastixencounterLol yeah clearly you lack reading comprehension because that's not even what the commenter said as far as how you read it. Commenter said "Some behaviors were off from WHAT YOU'D EXPECT". Meaning that WE, the audience, know it's wrong and messed up, however back in a certain time era it was so common anyway, that nobody cared anyway. DUH 👍
The parents aren’t wackos. That’s the power of It. Adults dont see what he does because he doesn’t feed on them as much since children get more scared and for It, the fear makes them taste better
When I showed this movie to my best friend and when it seemed like Pennywise disappeared from the screen when Stan was looking at it, my friend was like “Oh, ok we’re good.” But then when Pennywise appeared coming out, my friend jumped in his seat.
Vince you are spot on!! First person I seen in a long time bring up monster house. Am 26 and still remember it being pretty cool for its time. Awesome reaction and content as always from you both!! 🙏🏾
Although I still love and read the book, this was a very strong adaptation. Really enjoyed how they changed some things up to make it more modern while keeping the idea alive.
And thankfully left out that one part where they all "knew" each other in the biblical sense truly wtf was wrong with him for imagining and writing that
I love how the film accurately depicts how bullies were back in the day. Another iconic method of bullying was to slip cherry bombs in their back pockets of an innocent to blow up their ass cheek muscle tissue, and the follow-up would be that they wouldn't be able to sit down properly due to the damage caused, thus leading to bullying about the kid now being gay or being taken advantage of by a man and therefore is now gay. If it wasn't in the back pocket, then they'd forced them to hold the cherry bombs with a closed fist. Medical costs were so bad back then that the damage would usually send the family into intense medical debt. Bullying back in the day brutalize todays bullies by a landslide.
IT aka Pennywise the clown, aka Robert Bob Gray, is an interdimesional alien being from a different universe, and his ability is to shape-shift to your worst fears. His other abilities are illusions, regenerative healing, and make the adults delusional or confused. His true form is the Deadlights, cosmic energy orbs that's forms into what he is.
This is one of Stephen King's more controversial Novels. They didn't include it in the movie but there is a very graphic sex scene that if it was included, you would say out loud WTF?! There are still people who want this book banned.
@@nicecock5703 No, it cannot be explained on RUclips. Your account would be suspended for that kind of description. You're going to have to look it up. When Stephen King wrote his books in the 1970s and 1980s, he was doing a lot of cocaine!
Stephen King said the purpose of the season that it’s officially when the Losers started growing up. When they all officially “united/bonded”. But of course, King said that it was one of those things he does regret writing and it was an idea he realized that was not thought out well.
@@ryanstauffer119 That and the fact that he was on a lot of cocaine and alcohol during that time... and he barely remembered what he wrote half the time. To this day, Stephen King admits that he cannot remember writing Cujo.
Stephen King's novel 'It' was first made into a TV movie back in 1990... It was also in 2 parts, but in a different storytelling format than this version made explicit for the big screen. The original movie had actor Tim Curry as 'Pennywise the clown'... The first part started w/ the 7 kids as adults. Mike Hanlon (of the seven) still lives in Derry when kids start going missing or getting killed... He finds an old photo of George Denbrough (Bill's little brother 'Georgie' who was killed by Pennywise when they were kids) left at a crime scene and deduces that Pennywise has returned... Mike starts calling the other 6 and asks them to return to Derry to fulfill a promise they had made... Each of the 6 adults gets a call from Mike and recall their experiences w/ Pennywise as they make their way back... Bill is a writer and author, Ben is an architect, Beverly is a fashion designer, Richie is a stand-up comedian, Eddie owns a limo company, and Stan own an accounting firm - w/ all 6 making big money outside of Derry, while Mike is a librarian in Derry. 'It -Chapter 2' for the big screen was the opposite - the adults were having flashbacks of their first experiences w/ Pennywise.
I grew up watching the original 2 part tv movie and it scared the crap outta me, especially part 1 of that These movies are pretty good too and steps it up a notch because of the technology we have now vS then.
I’m curious, since I don’t think I heard you mention it: did you notice that the actor who plays Richie Tozier is also Mike Wheeler in _Stranger Things?_ It’s kind of funny, because the novel _IT_ and the 1990 miniseries version were among of the Duffer brothers’ biggest influences in creating that show, but to the extent that you can map the Party onto the Losers’ Club, Mike is obviously Bill Denbrough, not Richie. Richie, at least in this film version, is closer to Lucas - the skeptic whose distrust creates some dissension in the group, though I think in the novel that was more Stanley Uris’s role. You can see elements of Eddie Kaspbrak in Will Byers, the smallest and most fragile of the boys, although Joyce is a _much_ better mother than Eddie’s mom (you were right about the Munchausen-by-proxy element, that’s _exactly_ what Mrs. Kaspbrak is about).
I Still Remember How much I Loved This movie when it came Out, Scared Me Alot but was so freaking Funny Especially Richie, Him talking was just Funny 😂
also from what i remember when it comes to Henry is Henry had a hate-filled childhood. From the start, he was abused both physically and psychologically by his abusive Nazi father Oscar "Butch" Bowers. Butch beat both his son and wife on a daily basis the latter eventually leaving him after he beat her nearly to death.
@imapotatolover6060 yeah it is i remember a couple years ago when i found that out and read it all it angered me i know its all characters but still how could anyone do that to their son and wife actually how could anyone do that to their family you know
Not to mention, in the book, nearly every fight with the losers and Henry had Henry being humiliated or beaten instead which I wish they showed in the movies. And he got essentially molested by Patrick in the junkyard. Dude couldn't catch a break for the life of him.
You didn't seem to recognize the scary lady at 6:26. I recommend you watch the movie "Mama", A horror film. I believe you would like it, it's very good. A lot of secret cameos and movie references were added to the movie It.
As the original film (made for tv version) was shown in two parts I think its only fitting that your next reaction should be: IT Chapter 2. This incredible remake was split into two separate films for a deeper more theatrical experience (and also for the money grab the studio wanted)
It’s wild seeing people actually going in totally blind. IT is my favorite book & the 90’s movies (please watch) were so important to me as kid in Germany. Love em!
I love how natural your reactions are. So many ham it up for youtube, but here it's so chill. May i recommend Sliding Doors? It's a romance with a slight sci-fi twist and Gwenyth Paltrow before she was bananas.
Reasons for the visions, they taste better when they are scared. More scared they are, better they taste. Basically salting them up! Also Pennywise lore is vast, you just aren't gonna get it all in a movie. Especially when he has fingers in a lot of Stephen Kings stories. Same with how these kids get the strength to fight Pennywise. That character is constantly giving powers to fight off pennywise evil. Called the shine, which is that famous Jack Nickelson movie. The Shinning!
Many thanks to Shoshana & Vince! 🎈 Yes, indeed there's a sequel from 2019... and it's vital for you to finish the story. #ThePerfectMix #AndyMuschietti #It #It2017 #ItChapterOne
So funny seeing you react to the river scene. Definitely you’re not Gen X. I lived in a small town as a kid and my friends and I did that a lot of times. Left school or skipped school and went swimming. Sometimes a few girls would go with us. Remember doing it since I was 11 years old.
There was a railroad trestle going over the Merrimack River where I grew up. In 8th grade, me and my friend group went up there with a bunch of girls so of course the braver of my friends and I dropped down to our skivvies and jumped in. One of the dudes that stayed on the trestle opened up a chum bucket, got freaked out and kicked off the ledge and I had a half gallon of maggots poured directly in my wake. Good times
This movie is filled with Easter eggs for the novel. The refrigerator with Pennywise in it is a nod to the discarded refrigerator used by Hockstetler (sp), the Lego turtle, the mural of the gang slaying next to the butcher shop's back door, Mike's parent's fate and vision being like the Black Hole bar arson, etc. all tie into the novel even though they are represented differently in the movie. What I liked more than anything was Derry having a canal and that Paul Bunyan statue. The TV miniseries had its faithful portions as did this movie and its sequel but the newer movies seem more immersive to me.
love love this move! remake was great as the 1990 version. also this is how normal people get scare watching IT. as someone who watch this an dozen times. it funny seeing ppl get jumpscared! cant wait for part 2!
Everytime I see yalls post it puts a smile on my face, I thank you both for the amount of joy and laughter you bring into my life with your reaction videos!
the scary thing about this...YES the parents do see IT...and know about IT...they just pretend they don't because they are all so scared and in denial. If you watch that scene where Georgie got taken again you'll notice...the cat saw and heard what happened...but the old woman didn't...because she CHOSE to ignore it. i don't know when that was a thing but at one point licking your hand and then putting it on someone was like saying "you're my bi%$" and not in a sexual way. IT/ Pennywise creates what we fear the most...the more fear you have in your body the more powerful he is...which is what makes him one of the most terrifying creatures in Stephen King lore...fear is a natural part of us all...it's ok to have fears...we all do...so long as they don't overwhelm us...but with pennywise around having fear makes you weak. those three lights inside Pennywise...THAT is his TRUE FORM it's called the Deadlights and it has the power to send people into a hypnotic trance.
fun fact: richie lied abt his fear. thats why hes not super freaked out by the clown room besides it just being slightly disturbing. dude literally looked behind him, saw a clown, and went "ok that works" and lied bc he didnt want to tell them fr 😭😭
I didnt think they would show Georgie's arm getting bit off and him struggling to get out. It was only implied in the original version, but...this was bananas. This reboot was amazing imo Edit: you guys missed the part in the library where the patrons were staring and smiling when the boy was reading the stuff about the Easter incident. Creepy af
Great reaction you two! 😊 I love this movie! Definitely one of my favorite Stephen King book adaptation. There's one thing that was from the book that thankfully wasn't in this movie or the sequel. You can Google it if either one of you are curious. LOL! Bill Skarsgård is fantastic as Pennywise, the Dancing Clown. Both him and Tim Curry(who played Pennywise in the 1990 mini-series)are amazing. And the kids in the Losers Club are so perfectly casted. I VERY HIGHLY recommend the 2017 sequel "IT: Chapter 2" to see how the story ends. And remember....you'll float too!!!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
They left out a lot of lore, though. The Black Spot, The Turtle etc. Mike Hanlon’s arc got fucked up too, or how Bowers’ father would torment Mike’s family for being black, IT using her influence to instill hate in the in the community for her to feed of the fear of the victims
The encounters the kids have with pennywise arent really visions. Pennywise is a being that can control reality and the more scared the kids are the better they taste. Hope this helps
I don't know if you're able to but after you watch these two It movies, you should really go back and watch the made for TV It movies. It has the phenomenal Tim Curry playing it in those. And in my opinion in a lot of ways he's just as scary as Bill Skarsgard which is this version of it, if not more scary in a lot of spots. It's less CGI and more just really creepy. Although This version of it where he does his eyes in two different directions, that's actually Bill Skarsgard doing that.
The messsed up thing about this story is in the book “IT” Beverly had fantasies and actually had sexual activities with everyone in the group all from the mind of Steven king about young kids💀
I was 15 when i watched it and movies in which characters grow with us connects a lot and im crying seeing the end.........But IT 2 gives a future what and how troubly it is when u grow up , its just work you do and no friends , im 18 and im really afraid of that future
I actually enjoyed this movie alot, not because of the horror but because of the vibe the group of kids gave me, it reminded me of those old 80s movies where there was always a group of kids/teens with bikes and stuff. Which was what they were going for Ps:can't wait for your I saw the devil reaction, it's one of my fav movies

him:" its called monster house or something" , me: "yea its called monster house
That very first scene where all expression just bleeds off the clown’s face is so chilling.
Fun Fact: This movie came out 27 years after the old movie/miniseries
that’s actually crazy
Coincidence? Idts.
The thing with Pennywise... it's all real as long as you believe it's real.
There's a deleted scene showing Henry in the car as the kids go into the house. In it, you see that he also murdered his two friends whose bodies are sitting in the car with him.
Oh shit!
1:42 "I would have been just like this kid. I am not necessary afraid of clowns. I would've talked to him" Sorry bro. a clown in the sewer wanting to play with a kid is a huge red flag lol
Great reaction guys. No surprise there. If no one has answered it yet. The reason for him slowly showing the kids their fears is because it makes them tastier. I believe its from the book that "IT" says its like "salting the meat." So fear is like seasoning your food. That's why IT targets kids because they're easier to scare which equals tastier food. That doesn't mean adults are completely off the menu. Hope you guys watch "Chapter Two"
You are correct. Also, I believe the book also said that children's fears are more based on fantasy, which makes the fear stronger, which makes sense if you think about it. If IT takes the form of their fears, IT can become anything. For adults, their fears are different. What would IT take the form of for an adult, a high electric bill? The mortgage?
@@TeddyKGB12That’s true, I’m not even an adult yet my fears are totally different than a kids lmao
@@lilmanq7746 absolutely. The fears of children are easier to manipulate, as their brains aren't fully formed yet. In the book, some adults don't even see IT or notice ITs presence. If you haven't done so already, read the book. It's amazing and truly scary. There are also a lot of things in the book that couldn't be put in the movies, due to time constraints and other things. Also, there's a mini-series coming out in 2025 on HBO called "Welcome to Derry" that might cover some of the things from the book that weren't in the movies.
@@TeddyKGB12Exactly lol
I’m not a big fan of part 2 but this movie is definitely one of the greatest in recent years. The dialogue between the kids is top tier
Yeah, I didn't like the second part, but this one was really good.
HBO is currently shooting a mini-series called "Welcome to Derry"! Hopefully, it'll cover some of the things the movies left out!
@@AleksPizanathe second part doesn’t make sense cuz since they’re adults, they’re too old to see Pennywise now
@@ju2545 It's a lot of stuff that doesn't make any sense on that one. Another one is how Stan committed you know what (I don't wanna get cancelled for using words) to stay ''close to them'', to ''support'' them, to make them ''stronger''?. I actually didn't even understand the 'reasoning' they invented for that one on the film. They could've just kept him alive to get killed by Pennywise at that point. The ending is super altered, anyways.
@@AleksPizana yeah but Stan wouldn’t have to worry about IT anymore because now that he’s an adult, he’s too old to see IT, just like the rest of the losers club.
Pennywise has crazy powers. He has the town especially adults under his control. It's like being in a fog it's why there's so many child missing cases or horror things and nothing is done. It symbolizes bullying etc. As a kid and adults not doing anything about it.
Watching the making of these movies is very intriguing. Bill Skarsgård is amazing and how his eyes can naturally look in 2 different directions, he is also almost scarier playing Pennywise without the make up. Can’t wait to watch you review IT Chapter 2.
Not until they can hopefully and eventually understand the overall storyline first lol
7:02 This was one of the coolest creepy moments in recent horror film, because it's meant to make you question what you saw. The Librarian behind him... most reactors don't see it.
The glasses makes it hard to tell at first, but that's Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things. Sophia Lilis played in the Dungeons & Dragons movie.
28:02 I forget what it's called, Munchausen by proxy. It's when somebody seeks attention by needing to be pitied by using illness, but "by proxy" involve doing it to a loved one. Some call it "factitious disorder."
The kids in this and Stranger Things gave me "Kids ain't just stupid" vibes.
Being a fan of the novel (my second favorite coming just behind The Stand), you have no clue how amped I was during the house on Neibolt St. and the Apocalyptic Rock Fight scenes, both were left out of the previous miniseries version
But the second film was kinda bad in comparison, I think. The opening scene was straight from the novel, but the rest of the film was all over the place and, while I think that IT is almost impossible to adapt, it didn't make it justice how weak it ended up being.
"IT" was the first "grown-up" novel that I read. I think I was 14 and in 8th grade, so around 1992-93. After "IT", I also read "The Stand." For me, I put "IT" slightly ahead of the 2, but can easily see how you have it the other way around. I also enjoyed "The Eye of the Dragon", "The Mist" and "The Long Walk." The last 2 were short stories. I'd love for a movie to be made of "The Long Walk"
HBO is currently shooting a mini-series called "Welcome to Derry"! Hopefully, it'll cover some of the things the movies left out!
Here's A nice info for those who don't know.
In the book the story ends with the Kids having a gangbang with the girl :D
Yeah Stephen King is a fucked up man.
hopefully leaving certain things out from the books 👀@@TeddyKGB12
Pennywise actor (Bill) was kept away from the whole kid cast crew until his scene with them are up for shooting, it was director orcer, so he would be an actual surprise for them when it's come to shooting that specific scene. The book version of this series is WAY more gross, and grim than the one we got as film and TV series.
HBO is currently shooting a mini-series called "Welcome to Derry"! Hopefully, it'll cover some of the things the movies left out!
A lot of people don’t like the second film, because it has a different mood than the first, but for me-taken as a one-two punch, it’s a quality horror experience 👍
I don't dislike the 2nd chapter, but I didn't like it quite as much. The producers said they heard that people liked the haunted house scene the most, so they pushed that more in chapter 2.
13:25 I'm several days late and don't see any other comments mentioning it but yes you're right. Its an animated movie called Monster House and it's a fun movie
It’s not a vision when they are getting attacked by their fears. It is a being that preys on children and attacks them with their biggest fears. No adults can see It. It can transform and become your biggest fear.
adults are capable of seeing it
In the original book, the kids were set in the late 1950's and the modern era was the early 80's, which is why some behaviors are 'off' from what you expect, like the tighty whities and the overt racism and bullying.
Also in the book there is a subtle but present idea that they have some kind of divine help when they are together as one(as the first time at the rock fight), and that they are part of a war between extraplanar beings, Maturin the Great Turtle, and It, the Spider with the Deadlights.
how is bullying and racism odd or old, its literally everywhere today
@@mastixencounterLol yeah clearly you lack reading comprehension because that's not even what the commenter said as far as how you read it. Commenter said "Some behaviors were off from WHAT YOU'D EXPECT". Meaning that WE, the audience, know it's wrong and messed up, however back in a certain time era it was so common anyway, that nobody cared anyway. DUH 👍
@@mastixencounternot really. It still exists, but it's not "literally everywhere."
The parents aren’t wackos. That’s the power of It. Adults dont see what he does because he doesn’t feed on them as much since children get more scared and for It, the fear makes them taste better
should definitely check out chapter two, these movies are so special to me ☺️ I came for the horror and stayed for the characters, love them sm
The projector scene in the garage is some of the best shit.
When I showed this movie to my best friend and when it seemed like Pennywise disappeared from the screen when Stan was looking at it, my friend was like “Oh, ok we’re good.” But then when Pennywise appeared coming out, my friend jumped in his seat.
Vince you are spot on!! First person I seen in a long time bring up monster house. Am 26 and still remember it being pretty cool for its time. Awesome reaction and content as always from you both!! 🙏🏾
I’ve come to the conclusion that Pennywise doesn’t immediately kill the kills and scares them as if like seasoning his meals first
Although I still love and read the book, this was a very strong adaptation. Really enjoyed how they changed some things up to make it more modern while keeping the idea alive.
And thankfully left out that one part where they all "knew" each other in the biblical sense truly wtf was wrong with him for imagining and writing that
Not really a strong adaptation but still pretty good.
Finn wolfhard as Richie was the best part of the movie😂😂😂
It really was a great cast
My favorite part is when theyre talking about popcorn and then IT starts to growl. Such a predator/prey moment
I love how the film accurately depicts how bullies were back in the day. Another iconic method of bullying was to slip cherry bombs in their back pockets of an innocent to blow up their ass cheek muscle tissue, and the follow-up would be that they wouldn't be able to sit down properly due to the damage caused, thus leading to bullying about the kid now being gay or being taken advantage of by a man and therefore is now gay. If it wasn't in the back pocket, then they'd forced them to hold the cherry bombs with a closed fist. Medical costs were so bad back then that the damage would usually send the family into intense medical debt.
Bullying back in the day brutalize todays bullies by a landslide.
Clarification; i hate bullies, i just love historically accurate dicptions of certain things that movies usually under-play or over-do.
He's not really a clown but its the form he likes to use the most.
IT aka Pennywise the clown, aka Robert Bob Gray, is an interdimesional alien being from a different universe, and his ability is to shape-shift to your worst fears. His other abilities are illusions, regenerative healing, and make the adults delusional or confused. His true form is the Deadlights, cosmic energy orbs that's forms into what he is.
9:25 - 9:26 She Said That “Yeahhh” As Though She Was In Scooby-Doo Tryin’ To Solve A Mystery! 😆
I think the rocks were big because it might be hard to see smaller rocks on camera
20:23 Ive never seen anyone spit their soul out, suck it back in and then expel it once more. I am dying over here.🤣🤣
13:15 THE MONSTER HOUSE!!! THAT MOVIE SCARED ME AS A KID LOL
This is one of Stephen King's more controversial Novels. They didn't include it in the movie but there is a very graphic sex scene that if it was included, you would say out loud WTF?! There are still people who want this book banned.
could you care to explain that graphic scene...am interested
@@nicecock5703 No, it cannot be explained on RUclips. Your account would be suspended for that kind of description. You're going to have to look it up.
When Stephen King wrote his books in the 1970s and 1980s, he was doing a lot of cocaine!
Stephen King said the purpose of the season that it’s officially when the Losers started growing up. When they all officially “united/bonded”. But of course, King said that it was one of those things he does regret writing and it was an idea he realized that was not thought out well.
@@ryanstauffer119 That and the fact that he was on a lot of cocaine and alcohol during that time... and he barely remembered what he wrote half the time. To this day, Stephen King admits that he cannot remember writing Cujo.
Stephen King's novel 'It' was first made into a TV movie back in 1990... It was also in 2 parts, but in a different storytelling format than this version made explicit for the big screen.
The original movie had actor Tim Curry as 'Pennywise the clown'... The first part started w/ the 7 kids as adults. Mike Hanlon (of the seven) still lives in Derry when kids start going missing or getting killed... He finds an old photo of George Denbrough (Bill's little brother 'Georgie' who was killed by Pennywise when they were kids) left at a crime scene and deduces that Pennywise has returned... Mike starts calling the other 6 and asks them to return to Derry to fulfill a promise they had made... Each of the 6 adults gets a call from Mike and recall their experiences w/ Pennywise as they make their way back... Bill is a writer and author, Ben is an architect, Beverly is a fashion designer, Richie is a stand-up comedian, Eddie owns a limo company, and Stan own an accounting firm - w/ all 6 making big money outside of Derry, while Mike is a librarian in Derry.
'It -Chapter 2' for the big screen was the opposite - the adults were having flashbacks of their first experiences w/ Pennywise.
This was the scariest book i ever read... ive got to say they did a decent job with the two movies in capturing the fear each child dealt with.
HBO is currently shooting a mini-series called "Welcome to Derry"! Hopefully, it'll cover some of the things the movies left out!
@TeddyKGB12 its going to be a prequel so nothing in the book wont be added to the mini series
I grew up watching the original 2 part tv movie and it scared the crap outta me, especially part 1 of that These movies are pretty good too and steps it up a notch because of the technology we have now vS then.
I’m curious, since I don’t think I heard you mention it: did you notice that the actor who plays Richie Tozier is also Mike Wheeler in _Stranger Things?_ It’s kind of funny, because the novel _IT_ and the 1990 miniseries version were among of the Duffer brothers’ biggest influences in creating that show, but to the extent that you can map the Party onto the Losers’ Club, Mike is obviously Bill Denbrough, not Richie. Richie, at least in this film version, is closer to Lucas - the skeptic whose distrust creates some dissension in the group, though I think in the novel that was more Stanley Uris’s role. You can see elements of Eddie Kaspbrak in Will Byers, the smallest and most fragile of the boys, although Joyce is a _much_ better mother than Eddie’s mom (you were right about the Munchausen-by-proxy element, that’s _exactly_ what Mrs. Kaspbrak is about).
No one is fucking reading all that also all of us know who Finn wolfhard is
Bill skarsgard the actor who played pennywise was 27 in the time this was filmed. The release of this movie was also 27 years after the original IT.
1:34 Vince laughing and Shoshanna's face like "tf is wrong with you this little boy is about to fuckin die fr"
I Still Remember How much I Loved This movie when it came Out, Scared Me Alot but was so freaking Funny Especially Richie, Him talking was just Funny 😂
33:53 I'm probably the only person that recognized that lord of the rings cave troll howling
also from what i remember when it comes to Henry is Henry had a hate-filled childhood. From the start, he was abused both physically and psychologically by his abusive Nazi father Oscar "Butch" Bowers. Butch beat both his son and wife on a daily basis the latter eventually leaving him after he beat her nearly to death.
What the hell that’s awful,
@imapotatolover6060 yeah it is i remember a couple years ago when i found that out and read it all it angered me i know its all characters but still how could anyone do that to their son and wife actually how could anyone do that to their family you know
Not to mention, in the book, nearly every fight with the losers and Henry had Henry being humiliated or beaten instead which I wish they showed in the movies. And he got essentially molested by Patrick in the junkyard. Dude couldn't catch a break for the life of him.
You didn't seem to recognize the scary lady at 6:26. I recommend you watch the movie "Mama", A horror film. I believe you would like it, it's very good. A lot of secret cameos and movie references were added to the movie It.
Great reaction to an amazing movie. Y’all have to do Part 2! It’s the Losers Club 27 years later when Pennywise comes back again.
13:30 yeah-yeah, that movie exits and called exactly that - monster house
As the original film (made for tv version) was shown in two parts I think its only fitting that your next reaction should be: IT Chapter 2. This incredible remake was split into two separate films for a deeper more theatrical experience (and also for the money grab the studio wanted)
Now, Chapter 2.
The part where they see IT in the kitchen was the first actual time they saw Bill in full costume. So they're reactions were genuine
It’s wild seeing people actually going in totally blind. IT is my favorite book & the 90’s movies (please watch) were so important to me as kid in Germany. Love em!
I love how natural your reactions are. So many ham it up for youtube, but here it's so chill. May i recommend Sliding Doors? It's a romance with a slight sci-fi twist and Gwenyth Paltrow before she was bananas.
Reasons for the visions, they taste better when they are scared. More scared they are, better they taste. Basically salting them up! Also Pennywise lore is vast, you just aren't gonna get it all in a movie. Especially when he has fingers in a lot of Stephen Kings stories. Same with how these kids get the strength to fight Pennywise. That character is constantly giving powers to fight off pennywise evil. Called the shine, which is that famous Jack Nickelson movie. The Shinning!
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie/remake. They did a great job of making it very scary.
“Or at best I know who did it to my little brother and I want smoke” 🤣
Many thanks to Shoshana & Vince! 🎈 Yes, indeed there's a sequel from 2019... and it's vital for you to finish the story. #ThePerfectMix #AndyMuschietti #It #It2017 #ItChapterOne
So funny seeing you react to the river scene. Definitely you’re not Gen X. I lived in a small town as a kid and my friends and I did that a lot of times. Left school or skipped school and went swimming. Sometimes a few girls would go with us. Remember doing it since I was 11 years old.
There was a railroad trestle going over the Merrimack River where I grew up. In 8th grade, me and my friend group went up there with a bunch of girls so of course the braver of my friends and I dropped down to our skivvies and jumped in. One of the dudes that stayed on the trestle opened up a chum bucket, got freaked out and kicked off the ledge and I had a half gallon of maggots poured directly in my wake. Good times
This movie is filled with Easter eggs for the novel. The refrigerator with Pennywise in it is a nod to the discarded refrigerator used by Hockstetler (sp), the Lego turtle, the mural of the gang slaying next to the butcher shop's back door, Mike's parent's fate and vision being like the Black Hole bar arson, etc. all tie into the novel even though they are represented differently in the movie. What I liked more than anything was Derry having a canal and that Paul Bunyan statue. The TV miniseries had its faithful portions as did this movie and its sequel but the newer movies seem more immersive to me.
30:30 Y'all got me dying here lmaooo
6:07 **painting falls**
Vince: “maybe i adjusted it wrong”
**Painting disappears**
Vince: “its a bit different” 😂😂😂
love love this move! remake was great as the 1990 version. also this is how normal people get scare watching IT. as someone who watch this an dozen times. it funny seeing ppl get jumpscared! cant wait for part 2!
I watched both movies 4 times, and at night, from 12 AM to 3 AM, did not even jump once, the movies felt funny to me.
Love Pennywise 🧡🎈
30:20 yall reaction was priceless im sorry😂😂
Everytime I see yalls post it puts a smile on my face, I thank you both for the amount of joy and laughter you bring into my life with your reaction videos!
the scary thing about this...YES the parents do see IT...and know about IT...they just pretend they don't because they are all so scared and in denial. If you watch that scene where Georgie got taken again you'll notice...the cat saw and heard what happened...but the old woman didn't...because she CHOSE to ignore it.
i don't know when that was a thing but at one point licking your hand and then putting it on someone was like saying "you're my bi%$" and not in a sexual way.
IT/ Pennywise creates what we fear the most...the more fear you have in your body the more powerful he is...which is what makes him one of the most terrifying creatures in Stephen King lore...fear is a natural part of us all...it's ok to have fears...we all do...so long as they don't overwhelm us...but with pennywise around having fear makes you weak.
those three lights inside Pennywise...THAT is his TRUE FORM it's called the Deadlights and it has the power to send people into a hypnotic trance.
fun fact: richie lied abt his fear. thats why hes not super freaked out by the clown room besides it just being slightly disturbing.
dude literally looked behind him, saw a clown, and went "ok that works" and lied bc he didnt want to tell them fr 😭😭
Did they notice he was Mime from Stranger Things?
Y'all are my favorite duo to watch movies with keep posting these I love them lol
Absolutely brilliant that this movie was released 27 years after the original was released.
I didnt think they would show Georgie's arm getting bit off and him struggling to get out.
It was only implied in the original version, but...this was bananas. This reboot was amazing imo
Edit: you guys missed the part in the library where the patrons were staring and smiling when the boy was reading the stuff about the Easter incident.
Creepy af
i LOVE part 2! y’all should definitely watch it
Yeah but in part 2, they’re adults, so they’re too old to see Pennywise, so it doesn’t make sense
Im kinda surprised that you both didn’t say anything about Richie since that’s Finn Wolfhard who also plays Mike in stranger things
Great reaction you two! 😊
I love this movie! Definitely one of my favorite Stephen King book adaptation.
There's one thing that was from the book that thankfully wasn't in this movie or the sequel. You can Google it if either one of you are curious. LOL!
Bill Skarsgård is fantastic as Pennywise, the Dancing Clown. Both him and Tim Curry(who played Pennywise in the 1990 mini-series)are amazing. And the kids in the Losers Club are so perfectly casted.
I VERY HIGHLY recommend the 2017 sequel "IT: Chapter 2" to see how the story ends.
And remember....you'll float too!!!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
They left out a lot of lore, though. The Black Spot, The Turtle etc. Mike Hanlon’s arc got fucked up too, or how Bowers’ father would torment Mike’s family for being black, IT using her influence to instill hate in the in the community for her to feed of the fear of the victims
That was SO much fun! What a great upload guys 👏👏👏👏
Chapter 2 is pretty dammed ferocious so definitely looking forward to that reaction 😄
Monster house was a great movie i loved it growing up, you guys should definitely watch it
The way Shoshana be jumping is funny is hell 😂😂
October is my favorite month for reaction videos :D
Dude you killed me with the “visions”…IT WAS REAL!!!! Didn’t matter if not everyone could see it
The encounters the kids have with pennywise arent really visions. Pennywise is a being that can control reality and the more scared the kids are the better they taste. Hope this helps
29:20 he literally looks like mario in smo when you do the long jumps
I don't know if you're able to but after you watch these two It movies, you should really go back and watch the made for TV It movies. It has the phenomenal Tim Curry playing it in those. And in my opinion in a lot of ways he's just as scary as Bill Skarsgard which is this version of it, if not more scary in a lot of spots. It's less CGI and more just really creepy. Although This version of it where he does his eyes in two different directions, that's actually Bill Skarsgard doing that.
The messsed up thing about this story is in the book “IT” Beverly had fantasies and actually had sexual activities with everyone in the group all from the mind of Steven king about young kids💀
I was 15 when i watched it and movies in which characters grow with us connects a lot and im crying seeing the end.........But IT 2 gives a future what and how troubly it is when u grow up , its just work you do and no friends , im 18 and im really afraid of that future
13:24 This house remember me too that house from "Monster house" I felt nostalgic for the house when I saw it
this is yall best video. the reactions were great. this video may be a national treasure. And yea, there is a chapter 2.
Yep, it’s Monster House you’re thinking of. That movie scared me when I was a kid 🤣 watched it recently with my 6 year old and she was scared too 🤣
You almost got the same surname as Josh Hutcherson
I actually enjoyed this movie alot, not because of the horror but because of the vibe the group of kids gave me, it reminded me of those old 80s movies where there was always a group of kids/teens with bikes and stuff.
Which was what they were going for
Ps:can't wait for your I saw the devil reaction, it's one of my fav movies
it's not visions. pennywise appears as your worst fear.
“Young Mohammad Ali” holy crap that’s a good shout. If they ever do another film based on his life then Chosen Jacobs needs to be the no.1 choice.
Y’all need to watch the OG “IT” movie from the 80s!!
