Bill Skarsgard (who played Pennywise) was really nervous and concerned that he was traumatizing the child actors with his performance. After one especially intense scene one of the kids snapped out of his scared acting and enthusiastically told Skarsgard he really liked what he was doing with the character.
I heard that the kids didn't want to see him in costume because they wanted a true reactions and they were like "we are professionals, we won't get scared" and when they first watched Bill they got scared and weren't in character.
@@NatashaSalgadoit was the director and producers who didn’t have them see pennywise so they could film a true reaction. The first scene the kids saw him was when he comes out of the fridge to get Eddie
Fun Facts: They never really address it in the movie (which is irritating) but IT has this power that influences all the adults in town to be apathetic and ignorant to all of the murders and disappearances in Derry, it also makes some of them outright cruel. And the reason Pennywise doesn’t eat the kids right away whenever he gets the chance is that he feels they NEED to be terrified because it “salts the meat”.
Fun fact, most of the jokes between Richie and Eddie were actually written by Jack Dylan Grazer, the young actor who plays Eddie. He is definitely one to watch out for in his future career.
This movie, in my opinion, deserved more love in the awards, but as usual in the horror genre, when it has great movies, it doesn't get the love it deserves (The Lighthouse, Hereditary, The Witch, Midsommar, Us, Pearl, etc) Bill Skarsgard's performance should've gotten him at least a nomination, and the movie should've been nominated for best picture.
@@ak86db Most of the time, I hate when kids get too much screen time because a lot of the times they can't act, but these kids were amazing in this film.
The book explains Derry in a bit more detail. Pennywise has been hunting in Derry for a long time. Over time he’s been able to shape the minds of the residents to be forgetful and to avoid noticing anything out of the ordinary
@@aquibmohd in a perfect world, yes. The problem is that “It” is the second longest book Stephen King ever wrote. It’s massive. If they included everything from the book into the movie it would be 10 hours long. When adapting a book this big, you have to pick your battles
27:00 This particular jumpscare was so much there was a kid in the theater that almost fainted, people got up from their seats to run from the theater, and there was a bunch of teens behind me who jumped so high, I got near an entire bucket of popcorn on my shoulders, it was HILARIOUS! They were really sweet, apologizing about the popcorn later, and I said, "No need to apologize, I mean that's why we go to horror movies, right?" To this day, I'm very glad that buckets popcorn was dry and not with melted butter LMAO! 😂🤣
I grew up in Maine, and for a long time thought adaptations of Stephen King stories didn't actually capture what towns in inland Maine are really like, until this. When I first saw that overhead shot of the (I believe Canadian) old mill town that they used for the fictional Derry, and the on-the-ground shots, the woods overlapping the edge of the town as if suburbs scarcely existed, the old packed in "balloon" housing further in, etc; it finally felt like a town I grew up next to. Even that one random "haunted house" in that exact style. There used to be this one abandoned house that looked so much like that on the opposite side of that town from me. It sat on a hill that overlooked part of the river between the canals and the old disused red-brick factories and mills that were slowly being renovated, we used to call it the Addams Family house and the Munsters' house. It's eerie, but it finally felt right in the weirdest way. ...Mainers are mostly a lot nicer and more attentive than the parents in Derry, though. But that's part of the plot. 😅
Munchausen By Proxy is the condition you are talking about. where a parent makes up fake symptoms or actively causes symptoms of illness to keep the child dependant on them in perpetuity.
The real life sick girl who wasn't really sick is Gypsy Rose Blanchard. A terrible, sad, and controversial story worth a look. As for the reaction, thank you for tackling my favorite horror franchise. I love seeing people being introduced to Pennywise, and you didn't disappoint.
Controversial? She murdered her mother. Despite what her mother was doing to her it didn’t need to end with a homicide. She only spent 8 years in Federal prison and was released in December 2023. She’s now on her way to being a social media influencer. Now, what exactly does that say about our society?
23:43 You literally called it, well done! That bond and blind optimism that only children can seem to achieve, is exactly what gave them the power they needed tondefeat IT.
Great reaction ladies... This film only focuses on the first half of the IT novel by Stephen King....IT: Chapter 2 (2019) focuses on the second half (and in my own opinion, definitely worth a watch as well - since it wraps up the full story).
This movie was very accurate about the level of bullying in the 80's. There was at least one sociopath in every shool. the 80's had NO mental health help for kids. Welcome to my childhood.
There are subplots in the novel (it's a long novel) that shows that there is an unusual base level of lingering evil in the town even when IT is dormant. Great reaction. Thanks.
A fantastic remake! I love this and the second movie also. The choice of actors, the FX and the acting was spot on A great reaction ladies. Have a wonderful day, take care!
I am also part of the generation traumatized as children by the 90's IT 😅 More an exacerbated childhood fear of the dark for me than anything else. Looking back, it's rather comical to me now.
90' kid here. Same trauma. But the og IT start my interest in horror movies and paranormal. Fascinating thing as a teenager, now just fun things to watch/experience as a adult. I LOVE Supernatural for the same reason.
😂 I was in 7th grade when IT came out & it had me low-key shook 😂 My second period math teacher played a trick on us by writing Pennywise on our test paper and had Red & yellow balloons pop up from under here desk. 😂😂😂
This one is closer to the spirit of the book than the first one was, but the first one was made as a TV mini series so it was very toned down. A major difference is that in the book the kids part takes place in the late 50's and the adult part is in the 80's, while in this one goes from the 80's to modern day. Also the book flipped from the kids story to the adult story almost chapter by chapter, while her obviously they did the kids as one movie and the adults as part 2. IT and The Stand(the unabridged version, not the version that the publishers first put out that chopped about 400 pages) are the only Stephen King books that I re-read every few years.
30:32 "Beep-beep, Richie," is an Easter egg from the novel. It was what the other Losers would say to Richie when his jokes went too far or they wanted him to "shut up."
@36:20 Who Pino is thinking of is Gypsy rose Blanchard. See just got released while her boyfriend who committed the murder for her is still in prison. The media fawned over her like she was a super hero. It was disgusting.
can't believe watching it for the first time 😭😭 when i watched years ago then i used to get every sibling to watch it the first scene that shocks everyone
Keep kristen in every reason she's sooo goddamn fun in every reaction she just gives this fun vibe and enjoys the movies definitely need her in every movie reaction
Stephen king wrote Carrie and it as well and fun fact about Carrie it was his wife at the time who saved the book from being trashed and told him it would be a best seller and she was right. this was one of the only stories King wrote that actually scared him when writing it. You should read the book because it explians so much more about what IT is and where it came from as well. Love this one so much but sadly the second part failed to impress though you both might enjoy it
Great reaction - nice watching the two of you w these horror movies - and watching Pennywise jolt Kristen into jello was ... theraputic lol - this is IMO one of the best Stephen King movies - and seeing an 80s novel evoke such deeply felt nostalgia for 50s suburban childhood - that felt very close to King - another example is Stand By Me, another outstanding adap - and this link makes me think King is actually very close to Spielberg - a reason both are so popular, how they both plugged into that mainstream 80s sensibility - and yes, that projection scene really ... leaped out of the screen when I saw it lol
For an intersting comparison, you should check out the 1990 two part TV miniseries 'IT'. Tim Curry (from Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, Legend & Home Alone 2) also made a good Pennywise 🤡✌️.
They didn't include what might be my favorite part of the movie so I'm just brining it up here. When the kid in the library is looking through the books, in the background an older lady is starring at him. It's so unsettling.
Tim Curry's Pennywise was pretty frightening in the TV movie. The book has some crazy stuff in it, but my favorite is adult Ben learning that Pennywise is back in Derry and drinking down a pint glass of whiskey, then walking out of the bar stone sober.
YESSSS!! This is one of my favorite scenes in the book. I understand why it got cut, but it tells us SO much about adult Ben. I felt almost adds bad for him in this scene as I did in some of the 50s bullying scenes.
The movie is from the perspective of the kids so all the grownups seem kinda strange, also IT is looming over the town affecting the town and the people in it negatively, but yea basically all grownups is either evil or creepy ;) Oh yea, in the beginning when Georgie is looking for his boat he says "Bill is gonna kill me" which kinda is an easter egg premonition because Bill Skarsgård who plays Pennywise then shows up and does just that :)
Those kids actors were fenomenal and to be honest I liked this one a lot since I never watched the original series and the second has its ups and downs but its a good sequel.
So I actually live in southern Maine, and I remember in the weeks leading up to the release of this movie there were red balloons tied to a lot of mailboxes around our towns, fantastic marketing. However anyone who lives anywhere in not just Maine but all of New England could tell you that this movie was shot nowhere near Maine, nor do any part of the town look like Maine. It’s just funny how almost all of Stephen King’s best movie adaptations are set in Maine and yet they never shoot here. I get it, it’s probably really expensive, but you could at least get some landscape shots. Also Pennywise is essentially the nightmare fusion of Scarecrow, The Joker and a Bogart.
@@thedarkknight2221 Ahhh. Hey I don't mean anything by it, just saw this immediately after I said how this was closer to Maine than any adaptation and got curious how we had such different conclusions. I'm from the intersection of Oxford, Cumberland, and Androscoggin Counties. No idea if even naming the town would matter, but if I said the North end of the G-NG area, would that ring a bell? Haha Anyway, it's not perfect of course, but. Idk, maybe it's just me. I just thought compared to all of the other Stephen King adaptations we've gotten? Heck of a lot closer to something like Lewiston/Auburn, Rumford/Mexico, Lisbon Falls or Livermore Falls. Maybe not all of the neighborhood stuff (at least it doesn't look like midwest suburbs like the tv movie), but I thought that one aerial shot of the town kinda looked right. I think that was an old mill town in Canada, though. Think we don't give tax incentives that'd help much in filming on location.
Pennywise's presence effects the adults of Derry, which is why he is able to successfully hunt there every 27 years without anybody who matters finding out.
The girl you’re talking about is Gypsy Rose. Her Grandmother convinced her that she was sick for her life. When Gypsy found out that she was never actually sick, she had her Grandmother killed. She’s getting out of prison in December.
Fun fact: all the boys (Eddie, Richie, Bill, Ben and Stanley) were freshmen in high school irl at the time this movie was filmed. That might be a bit hard to believe because some of them look like they’re different ages
Munchaussen by Proxy is a real condition where a parent intentionally makes their child sick for the attention. The real story of Gypsy Rose is done pretty well in a Hulu series called Gypsy. Your reactions were great and I've loved the IT story since I read the book back in the 70's. You should watch a current T series called "From" and I truly believe the entity they're dealing with is the same one haunting Derry, ME.
The part where Beverly goes to the bathroom and all the blood shoots from the sink , is basically her struggling with her home trauma. She goes to the pharmacy and buys the tampons and the blood squirting is her becoming a woman. That's why the dad asks " Are you still my little girl ? "
None of the kids knew what Bill Skasgard looked like in full pennywise get up until each kid first filmed with him. The director wanted genuine reactions from the kids.
9:31 EVERYBODY MISSES THE LIBRARIAN BEHIND HIM!!! I saw it in theaters, the best type of horror is when you question what you're seeing as the audience, but every reaction video misses this.
Those 3 balls of light you saw in Pennywise's mouth are actually IT's true form. Yes, the clown form you see is actually just another disguise for IT. Looking into these lights with do either 1 of two things. 1: It'll either kill you instantly or 2: You'll survive but you'll be left permanently insane. I don't want to say about Pennywise's origin till you after you watch IT chapter 2.
My dad says he used to have rock fights with his brothers and other boys from his neighborhood. One day he had to bring his brother home in a wagon because he was out cold. Not sure how true all that is but it sounds like something from back then. I like how you unintentionally called out the town as a part of the horror. The town is indeed a creepy part of the Steven King horror universe. It is basically its own character.
This movie, is the 2nd of the series. The first, 1990. The people that made then 2nd series is brilliant. In the Book, IT, IT comes aroundb every 27 years. And the time between 1990 and 2017 is 27 years. The difference between the 90' movie and the 17', the 1990 movie w2as made for television and had to meet all of the codes TV was hindered by. The 2017 movie, made and released in the movie theaters. Totally different set of guidelines. But the "27 years" thing, brilliantly played upon. The story is the same, but the times are different. Different movies shown, different cars. They did a really good job making the second series. Oh, yeah. 1990 movie was a 2 night Mini-Series. The 2017 series, this is the first half of the book. Inn my opinion, you should watch the 1990 version also. Great Post. I'm anxiously waiting for Chapter 2. Great Post.
In my opinion, the miniseries (1990) was much better in atmosphere, accurate quotes, music was very creepy and also Tim Curry who play pennywise so good.
The book is still much better than any adaptations. Stephen King's character development is so good, in IT and The Stand that if I don't reread them periodically I start missing the people. Richie in this movie is portrayed as a wise cracking motor mouth. In the book it's very clear that Richie's problems come from how much faster his mind works than everybody else around him, combined with an impulse control button that's a bit faulty. And his sophisticated humor will leave you ROTF.

While they never say it the do show it a little bit
Reminds me of Rose the Hat in Doctor Sleep... "Pain purifies the steam."

Pennywise's presence effects the adults of Derry, which is why he is able to successfully hunt there every 27 years without anybody who matters finding out.
The girl you’re talking about is Gypsy Rose. Her Grandmother convinced her that she was sick for her life. When Gypsy found out that she was never actually sick, she had her Grandmother killed. She’s getting out of prison in December.
Fun fact: all the boys (Eddie, Richie, Bill, Ben and Stanley) were freshmen in high school irl at the time this movie was filmed. That might be a bit hard to believe because some of them look like they’re different ages
The shot @ 22:37 is iconic nightmare fuel!
KIRSTKN IS MY FAV REACTOR NOT ONLY IS SHE GOUGOUS BUT HER SENSE OF HUMOR AND HER LAUGH ARE EVERTHING❤❤❤
I will never get over how Bill Skarsgards brother played Eric in true bloods lmao
Her soul just left her body at the garage scene 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Munchaussen by Proxy is a real condition where a parent intentionally makes their child sick for the attention. The real story of Gypsy Rose is done pretty well in a Hulu series called Gypsy. Your reactions were great and I've loved the IT story since I read the book back in the 70's. You should watch a current T series called "From" and I truly believe the entity they're dealing with is the same one haunting Derry, ME.
IT was made to be seen in 2 parts. that's why it's a chapter 2. It's not just a title to a sequel. I hope you guys watch it.
We all float down here....!
I reeeaaally REALLY hope the new prequel series does all of these films justice!
The movie did a great job trying to capture the book. The TV movie is a classic. But was limited in what it could show.
It also actually looks like an old inland mill town in Maine, too. 😅
30:00 you can see the first Pennywise from the T.V. version of IT. He is just to the left of the coffin.
The part where Beverly goes to the bathroom and all the blood shoots from the sink , is basically her struggling with her home trauma. She goes to the pharmacy and buys the tampons and the blood squirting is her becoming a woman. That's why the dad asks " Are you still my little girl ? "
No she did not buy tampons she bought hair color called tampax
@@HudaZain-r3p tampons / Tampax same thing
i think this is the first time ive ever heard someone use the term 'what the what' lol!
8:14 Kristen's reaction her beautiful face, can't take my eyes off. 😍😍 My biggest CRUSH...
Kristen's reactions are the most real ones I have ever seen😂😂.
I'm her in real life 😅
None of the kids knew what Bill Skasgard looked like in full pennywise get up until each kid first filmed with him. The director wanted genuine reactions from the kids.
9:31 EVERYBODY MISSES THE LIBRARIAN BEHIND HIM!!! I saw it in theaters, the best type of horror is when you question what you're seeing as the audience, but every reaction video misses this.
27:00 craziest reaction of cinepals or cinedesi's ever😂😂😂
Those 3 balls of light you saw in Pennywise's mouth are actually IT's true form. Yes, the clown form you see is actually just another disguise for IT. Looking into these lights with do either 1 of two things. 1: It'll either kill you instantly or 2: You'll survive but you'll be left permanently insane. I don't want to say about Pennywise's origin till you after you watch IT chapter 2.
There are also a million eater eggs in this movie. IT is everywhere.
The kid who played Georgie's brother play Young Star-Lord in a couple of scenes from vol.2
Beautiful ladies reacting to a great movie! I'm 27 and this was my first horror movie that i saw in theaters and now i love horror ever since!
The adults of course would be messed up they grew up in that town
The show is Ruby starring Patricia Arquette on Hulu
My dad says he used to have rock fights with his brothers and other boys from his neighborhood. One day he had to bring his brother home in a wagon because he was out cold. Not sure how true all that is but it sounds like something from back then.
I like how you unintentionally called out the town as a part of the horror. The town is indeed a creepy part of the Steven King horror universe. It is basically its own character.
Quick note: all kids talk like that, just not in front of parents.
This movie, is the 2nd of the series. The first, 1990. The people that made then 2nd series is brilliant. In the Book, IT, IT comes aroundb every 27 years. And the time between 1990 and 2017 is 27 years. The difference between the 90' movie and the 17', the 1990 movie w2as made for television and had to meet all of the codes TV was hindered by. The 2017 movie, made and released in the movie theaters. Totally different set of guidelines. But the "27 years" thing, brilliantly played upon. The story is the same, but the times are different. Different movies shown, different cars. They did a really good job making the second series. Oh, yeah. 1990 movie was a 2 night Mini-Series. The 2017 series, this is the first half of the book. Inn my opinion, you should watch the 1990 version also. Great Post. I'm anxiously waiting for Chapter 2. Great Post.
I love bill Skarsgard brilliant actor
"He thrusts his fist against the post, and still insists he sees the ghost"
Fun fact the refrigerator scene was pratical hes just really flexible
Kristen you are so comical in the way you scare it's entertaining! Your eyes bulge out, your scream and cover your eyes!
In my opinion, the miniseries (1990) was much better in atmosphere, accurate quotes, music was very creepy and also Tim Curry who play pennywise so good.
The adults in this movie is the way they are because of influence of the clown. Pennywise keeps them that way so he can go after the kids.
The book is still much better than any adaptations. Stephen King's character development is so good, in IT and The Stand that if I don't reread them periodically I start missing the people. Richie in this movie is portrayed as a wise cracking motor mouth. In the book it's very clear that Richie's problems come from how much faster his mind works than everybody else around him, combined with an impulse control button that's a bit faulty. And his sophisticated humor will leave you ROTF.
The book is garbage.. it’s poorly written
I have a fondness for the Tim Curry version of Pennywise, but Bill Skargard did an absolutely brilliant job of portraying him.
You Should watch the honest Trailer and Pitch Meeting for this
