The new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT is due in theaters until September 8, but early reaction to screenings are remarkably good. There were worries about casting and feel amongst fans, but you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that people getting into early screenings are loving what they see. Not only are they good, but they are overwhelmingly positive. This is a good sign for Stephen King fans and fans of IT.
Check out some of the reactions via social media below:
#ItMovie was spooktacular. Great cast, surprisingly funny, and genuinely unnerving scares. You’ll still be freaked out when you get home. ? pic.twitter.com/n5EQpbk53N

#IT definitely captures frights of the novel whilst adding a new fears. Major set pieces are bone-chilling -even summons a splash of tears

Bill Skarsgard is putting in a performance that is going to turn him into the Freddy Krueger of a new generation. #ITMovie @ITMovieOfficial

The film looks like it will be great, and I cannot wait to see it when it hit theaters. It has been a long time since I have seen a good Stephen King film.
IT stars Bill Skarsgård (Allegiant, TV’s Hemlock Grove) as Pennywise. An ensemble of young actors also star in the film, including Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special), Jeremy Ray Taylor (Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip), Sophia Lillis (37), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), Chosen Jacobs (upcoming Cops and Robbers), Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween) and Nicholas Hamilton (Captain Fantastic).
