For those who don't know, the film focuses on the story of teenager Bill Denbrough and the disappearance of his seven-year-old brother, Georgie. After Georgie's disappearance, Bill never gives up hope, always thinking they will find something left of his brother. Bill and his group of friends, each being a bit of an outcast, form a group called "The Losers Club", creating a strong bond and realizing that they are all experiencing strange occurrences that contain the same figure - Pennywise the Clown. They decide to face Pennywise head-on and try to rid him from their lives once and for all.
"It" has broken records in the horror genre and has earned over $320 million at the box office. Now, with this re-release, you can enjoy the film again or even experience it for the first time. This is a film that everyone should go out to see, especially to get into the Halloween spirit.
