“IT” is a good horror movie in terms of fear effect but lacks the story and character development that leaves a viewer terrified. Characters are two dimensional so it’s difficult to suspend your disbelief enough to have those feelings linger past the actual shock of a scene. The sound score and foley are creapy but that’s not enough to hold the “fear factor”. We also have difficulty understanding the actions of the characters because there motivational forces don’t seem to make any sense. “IT” leaves you thinking was that it or is something that was truly missing?
** 1/2 – ADD 1/4 star more if you truly terrified of clowns.
