When news of a new remake of IT arrived it was great to hear that the movie, just like the original two-part TV adaptation, would also be split into two features. And with a storyline that revolves around a child eating clown who lives in the sewers and lures children to their death you know you’re onto a winner. The story line alone is enough to scare you and when the first movie was released it truly was the stuff of nightmares. The original 1990 release has gained a lot of following and cult status over the past few years and so it’s only natural in the horror movie business that a more modern version with new scares, CGI and effects would be enough to terrify modern audiences. Now, only 2 years after the 2017 remake, IT: Chapter 2 is in post-production and will arrive on the big screen finally on the 6th of September 2019.
