Stephen King's It Chapter One. A horror film based on the best selling novel. I had seen the old film and so hoped this version would be different. It is. Nice special effects. Such a great cast of actors. Bill and the child actors did good. Set in 1989 Derry. People have been going missing. A supernatural force is responsible. You have a group of friends having just finished for the summer holidays. One by one they are targeted by Pennywise the clown. They all have their daily share of problems. Beverly is pretty, she reminded me of a young Molly Ringwald. I will be watching Chapter Two. Take a look at IMDb trivia. Mixed soundtrack. Fresh take on a classic. I recommend Christine, Rose Red, The Langoliers, Carrie, Stand By Me, 1408, Cell. Click on the ads to get you to Amazon. Cast  (50) Jaeden Martell Bill Denbrough (as Jaeden Lieberher) Jeremy Ray Taylor Ben Hanscom Sophia Lillis Beverly Marsh
I have just watched Stephen King's Doctor Sleep. It is the sequel to The Shining. Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and other fine actors. Nice special effects, cinematography, soundtrack and acting. A creepy horror. Mr King would be proud. Danny is now a grown man. Still carrying his special gift. Homeless and has a drink problem. In another part of the country are a group of individuals. Also gifted. They have had long lives. They feed on children. Stealing their essence. References are made to the first film. They wanted to do it in Kubrick's style. It is a long film, over 2 hours. I recommend that you see this movie. I enjoyed many of Stephen King's books. One girl named Abra has powers and Danny must get to her before the villains do. I am going to look at the trivia and discussions. Rebecca is hot as always.  Cast. Ewan McGregor. as Danny Torrance. Rebecca Ferguson. as Rose the Hat. Kyliegh Curran. as Abra. Carl Lumbly. as Dick Hallorann. Zahn McClarnon. as Crow
