Critics Consensus

Well-acted and fiendishly frightening with an emotionally affecting story at its core, It amplifies the horror in Stephen King's classic story without losing touch with its heart.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

The serious dramatic themes ring hollow, however, leaving only the paperback boogety boogety to justify the Oscar-bait running time.

Slashfilm

The film depends - and succeeds - entirely on the strength of their performances, and for two hours that speed by all too quickly, it's not too much of a stretch to feel like we're on summer vacation with them.

Rated: 9/10

The Cinema Spot

Muschietti’s film teaches the audience that it is only when you are alone that IT sees you as vulnerable, but together–with friends that care so deeply for you and you for them–any disaster that comes your way can and will be conquered.

Rated: 9/10

Subculture Entertainment

Andy Muschietti has delivered one spectacular horror film with It. The harshness of the horror will keep fans happy while the characterisation and coming-of-age storyline is a welcome change to what could have been.

Rated: 4/5

As an adaptation of a great 20th century novel, It completely misses the mark.

A wonderful heartfelt adventure recapturing the true horrors of growing up. The cast of children bring more energy and imagination to their roles than most adult actors do. You won't be able to look away.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Goofy version of the original. A movie should only be remade or built upon if you can out do the original in terms of character development and plot. This failed in so many levels. Found this movie to be very disappointing but maybe if someone hasn't seen the original, they may like it.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
