Why it’s HorroRated
It Chapter One is a mainstream horror film that actually delivers: the Losers Club is a real ensemble, Pennywise is a real threat, and the Derry mythology is established with patient detail. Bill Skarsgård doesn't try to copy Tim Curry and creates something completely new. A crowd-pleasing horror film that doesn't sacrifice craft for accessibility.
