A few years later, the courts and police forces would persecute many of the people who heeded the call, and her government would pass new laws that effectively forced them out of business. This is an unusually deep and detailed horror film, well worth seeing.Britain’s most notorious video label and the company that started the Video Nasties moral panic.Īt the start of the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher was encouraging the small businessman and the entrepreneur. There are some spooky moments, but nothing that I would describe as absolutely horrifying. The acting is very goood, especially John Ritter as a successful architect and Tim Curry as the terrifying Pennywise the Clown. Thirty years later, the seven are all grown up, but they re-unite to seek out the monster when it once more awakens for its regular killing spree. They track it down and very nearly kill it, but it just manages to escape.
In the first half, a bunch of seven kids in a small town realise that recent child killings are not the work of a murderer, but are attributable to a monster which awakes every thirty years.
The story unfolds like a two part mini-series (which is, I believe, what the film was originally meangt to be). Also, the depth of the story allows to us to really get into the minds of the characters, which is a rare thing indeed in a horror film, since usually the characters are hilariously shallow. Besides, the three hour running time goes by quickly because the film is briskly paced and full of engaging incidents. However, considering that the book upon which it is based takes over 1,000 pages to tell its story, it is hardly surprising that the film version needs so much running time to cram in all the twists and turns. Many critics have complained that Stephen King's It is an overlong film.
