This movie, like some of Stephen King's creations, focuses more on the story or plotline than the "scare factor". Although the movie does have it's moments that can make the skiddish squirm, it was not a terrifying film. 7 kids get together against the evil Pennywise the clown (played by Tim Curry). Each kid is personally terrorized by the clown, which can give you goosebumps. The movie had several scenes that were more "creepy" but the movie was based on the children's flashbacks. This made the movie slower, especially since it's 192 minutes long.Some audiences were befuddled by the "weirdness" that Stephen King is famous for. One viewer states, "The clown was pretty creepy. But this does not make up for the fact that the movie is extremely long and boring". If you want a movie that will make you pee your pants...look elsewhere. If you are interested in a suspenseful, creepy story, rent it soon!
Rating on Scare-O-Meter. (1-5, five being the scariest)
Hard-ass: 2
Wimp: 3 1/2
