King’s Son Has High Praise for ‘IT’ Remake

It’s a pretty big year for Stephen King fans, with a film adaptation of The Dark Tower, a new original show Castle Rock, a television adaptation of Mr. Mercedes, and more being announced/released.

The first trailer blew up online, with its terrifying new vision of Pennywise the Clown and 1980’s setting (as opposed to the 60’s setting in the novel). With just a few months until IT is released, a few people in the industry have seen an early cut, and at least one of them has high praise for the Andres Muschietti’s directed film. “Andres’ adaptation of IT is one of the 5 scariest films ever made,” Hill confidently stated. “It’s tremendously humane.
