An old favourite and quite good considering it was made for TV. Pennywise is a scary character and Tim Curry really brings him to life!
Fun hauntings. Quite Elm Street-like. I'd imagine it'd be nice to see it as a serial so it didn't seem as drawn out. The 90's stench and odd story created enough substance to make the length bearable for me. THey all float down here George! Oh wow, there's a whole other side to t...( read more)

How come it doen't say Jonathan Brandis or Seth Green or Ben Heller in here?
They were also in the movie.
I just found the clown really really irritating! they shud have just B8tch slapped him!
The story was great! Pennywise was absolutely WICKED!!!
The character development was abysmal and the end of this movie absolutely SUCKS!!!
I've never even seen this movie and I had a nightmere about it last night. It was so weird!! So you can imagine that i won't be watching this movie anytime soon...or ever.
okay i thought this was a great movie and i'm not afraid of clowns so i had no problems watching this movie,its just that everyone else i know is afraid of clowns so i have to watch it by myself...LOL...
I hate, hate clowns. I didn't know Seth Green was in this movie? What was he - like 2?
I saw this movie about 15 years ago. Haven't watched it again for the fact that clowns are like scary to me.
this movie was freaky, but NOT freakier than Stephen Kings " The Mist"!
