Trivia

Director Andy Muschietti kept Bill Skarsgård separate from the child actors up until they had to shoot scenes together. On the day of their first scenes together, the production staff warned the kids about how scary Skarsgård could be while in character. The kids brushed this off, claiming that they knew he was just an actor in a costume and that they were professionals and would be fine. However, when the time came for Skarsgård to be Pennywise for the scene, the kids were genuinely terrified. See more »

Goofs

When the group go back to Bens room, Beverly closes the door and you see a New Kids on the Block poster on the back of the door. She and Ben exchange smiles, and then she reopens the door to hide the poster from the others. In the next shot, the door is closed and the poster is no longer on the back on it. See more »

Was it a comedy movie?
8 September 2017 | by d-naturezaSee all my reviews

It didn't feel like a horror movie, everybody in the theater was laughing all the time due the humour in the cast, the kids make jokes all the time about everything, i was a little disappointed because i hoped i would be terrified, but i laughed more than anything. Its not a horror movie at all, its like a parody of a horror movie.
