Stephen King's It (Double Sided Disc)
Description
Is there anything scarier than clowns? Of
course not. And who knows scary better than Stephen King? You see where we’re
going. It puts a malevolent clown (given demented life by a powdered, red-
nosed Tim Curry) front and center, as King’s fat novel gets the TV-movie
treatment. Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed, but an engaging
Stand by Me vibe prevails for much of the running time. The seven main
characters, as adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in their Maine
hometown. Now, the cackling Pennywise is back, and they must come home to
fight him–or, should we say, It–again. Admitting the TV-movie trappings and
sometimes hysterical performances, this is a genuinely gripping thriller. As
so often with King, the basic idea (the bond formed during a childhood trauma)
is clean and powerful, a lifeline anchored in reality that leads us to the
supernatural. –Robert Horton
