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.

It - 牠



It (牠) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård. The supporting cast include Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, and Jack Dylan Grazer. The movie became a surprise hit of the post summer movie season.

Jaeden Lieberher plays Bill Denbrough, who loses his brother to a killer clown, Pennywise, played by Bill Skarsgård. The next summer, they let of school and look for adventure. Of bill, its to explore the sewers in search of his brother. The group of his friends label themselves the Losers for their imperfect personal traits that make them unpopular at school. As they search the sewers, they start to uncover clues. But the town bully is hot on their tail and give them chaos. Pennywise than targets each of them with horrors only they can see. Chased by both Pennywise and the town bully, can they solve the mystery of Bill's missing brothers?

This movie surprised me. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. Maybe its because it they went back to my childhood era of the 1980s. It was a similar feel to the Stranger Things television series. A more innocent time if you can call the 1980s that. And when the world wasn't as connected through technology.

I would watch it again and recommend all ages to watch.
