Fitting sequel will keep you thrilled IT: CHAPTER 2 2 hours, 49 mins TROY DODDS
It has been 27 years since most of the ‘Losers Club’ have seen each other, but a familiar foe is bringing them back to Derry – it’s time to fulfil the pledge to kill the demonic Pennywise once and for all. ‘It: Chapter 2’, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2017 horror flick, starts by introducing us to our favourite group of losers almost three decades on from when we last saw them. Their lives have unfolded in different ways – some successfully, some not so much. But regardless of how each of their lives have played out, the calling that brings them back to Derry puts them
on the same page and transfers them back to the horrors of 1988. One thing you may have already heard about ‘It: Chapter 2’ is how long it is, and at nearly three hours it has the potential to be a brutal watch, but the length didn’t worry me all that much – there’s enough happening here to keep you engaged. But a movie of this length rarely goes by without fault, and there’s certainly a few issues here, chiefly the excessive CGI and the rather dreary ending. That said, a film like this is more about the journey than the destination and if you’re keen to be consistently startled and you lap up horror flicks, you’ll enjoy this offering.
