It Chapter Two - 牠 第二章
It Chapter Two (牠 第二章) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean as the older set. The younger set star Sophia Lillis, Jaeden Martell, Finn Wolfhard, Chosen Jacobs, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Wyatt Oleff. Bill Skarsgård returns as It, Pennywise the Dancing Clown. This was a sequel to It (牠) from 2017.
Set 27 years after the events of 1989, it is 2016 and they have all grown up. When they find out the Pennywise may not be dead, they must go back to Derry and kill It. Mike Hanlon calls his childhood friends, Bill Denbrough, Eddie Kaspbrak, Richie Tozier, Ben Hanscom, Stanley Uris, and Beverly Marsh to return. When they return back to Derry, they immediately start getting messed with by It. When Mike finds out a way to kill It, they must go about getting things to run a ritual to kill it. All of them must go back to their childhood stomping grounds, oftentimes reliving those horrible events in today's reality. Can they all retrieve their items and get the ritual performed?
This movie was super creepy. I have been watching horror movies since I was a wee lad and very little freaks me out. But Pennywise freaks me out. However, like I did for the first film, I got over It and continued on. In all, it felt totally different from the first film as this moved in more of a detective drama slant. The flashbacks were a good addition to bring things back to before.
