Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAccording to Emily Perkins (young Beverly Marsh), the remaining Losers (Jonathan, Brandon, Adam, Seth, Ben, and Marlon) were in Jonathan's trailer, reading the script and the novel. When Emily entered to rehearse with them, they revealed to her that her character, Beverly, has sex with all the boys in the sewers within the novel, which resulted in Emily being embarrassed.
- Patzer(at around 49 mins) During Eddie's flashback scene, when he and the other Losers arrive at his house he tells them, "I wish this summer would never end; it's the best summer of my whole life," just before his mother comes out. His mother then tells him she doesn't want him to take gym in school that week. If it was summer vacation he would not have had school that week, yet the kids are shown in school repeatedly.
- Alternative VersionenAccording to the documentary "Pennywise: The Story of It" (2021), there is a deleted scene in which a police officer presents the lifeless, armless body of Georgie to his mother. However, due to broadcast limitations, this scene had to be removed because of its graphic imagery.

Effective Start for the Now Legendary Film
It Part 1 (1990)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Part one of this two-part series starts off with an introduction to Pennywise (Tim Curry), an evil clown who lives in the sewers. We're then introduced to six adults who get a phone call saying that It is back. Then, via flashbacks, we see what that person's experience was with the clown leading up to the kids trying to kill it.
It seems like this film became a legendary event leading up to its first showing and throughout the years its legend has grown. Everyone knows the look of It and the film has sent many people into downright terror. What's most overlooked is the fact that the film itself is quite good and certainly worth watching.
What I enjoyed so much in this first part is the fact that the story balances quite well as we're introduced to the adult and then we see their memory of the clown and how they first encountered it. DIrector Tommy Lee Wallace has an almost Robert Altman like approach to the material and the film never loses you as the layout is quite good even with it bounces back and forth between stories.
Another major plus is that the performances are excellent. Without such excellent performances you might have a hard time buying into the material but that's never the case. The adult actors perfectly show you the fear that they have towards this clown and that perfectly sets you up for the horror that follows with the children. There's really not a weak performance to be found here and that includes Curry in the role of Pennywise.
The film certainly manages to work as a horror film and there are some effective and creepy moments throughout this first part. What I also enjoyed is the relationship between the kids and how they formed this bond that would allow them to go up against this evil force. There's a certain STAND BY ME approach to their relationship and it works very well.
