dark sister I found the original 'It' kinda cheesy and not scary at all. The clown in the new remake looks to be alot more frightening physically than the original one. That's why I'm so pumped for it. It was a creepy book that deserved a creepy movie and the original was very campy. This one looks like it's going to legitimately be scary. I was worried because the kids' story in the book took place in the 50's but they changed it to the 80's. It doesn't seem so bad in the trailer. Hopefully this does well so the adult story gets greenlit. The original had 'John Boy' in it with a pony tail. It looks like the movie could be going for a Stranger Things vibe with the kids. And that proved to be winning formula...

Just saw "It" trailer in my news feed. The book was amazing. The original was kind of cheesy - filmed in 1990. Big hair and odd clothing was 'in' as I recall in RL as well as series. You would 'boo' me outta here if I showed you some of my outfits and hair from that time period. I look back on those pics and shake my head. I think the TV series was quite good but this trailer has amped up the intensity. Yikes! One of the actors who plays one of the boys is the grandson of one of my good friends. I've been hearing a lot about the filming from her.

The kids playing Bill and Ritchie I've seen in Midnight Special and Stranger Things. They're great young actors.
This is supposed to stick closer to the book, which should be great.

"It" was a good book and an enjoyable movie, even though it solidified my fear of clowns and avoidance of sewer grates. I'm looking forward to this new movie, though!

It's in our Sunday Night Netflix poll too lol. What scene? My only issue was I wish this film was in color. It would've made it creepier, imo.

dark sister Yay, you saw it! I loved the black and white. It made it feel gritty, and more ominous, imo. The scene that messed with me was when {Spoiler} the last female victim (the boy's mother) breaks away and is walking down the road like something that crawled out of Hell because even the devil didn't want it. Initially, I didn't put two and two together to realize that was another shot of the movie's opening scene. I was waiting for Francisca to drive up and get her. Plus, this is the stuff of nightmares Oh, and can I say I HATE Netflix's new rating system. HATE

I forgot to add that in the last couple of weeks I've been on a horror kick. So in addition to My Mother's Eyes, I've also watched
These Final Hours - It's about the end of the world, and it was just okay. Nothing special. It Follows - I liked it but expected more.
Has anyone seen this one? It's not on Netflix but if it's good I'll go searching for it elsewhere.

It's especially funny if you've seen The Human Centipede.

Watched recently 47 Feet Down . The movie is fine for a shark movie. But the stupid fake out ending totally screws the movie, the fake out ending was far better than the real ending of the movie.

Eat Locals
"'Eat Locals': Film Review | FrightFest 2017
Courtesy of Evolution Pictures A secret vampire summit meeting turns into a bloodbath in debutant director Jason Flemyng’s spoofy horror comedy.
A low-budget British vampire comedy with more bark than bite, Eat Locals feels like a school reunion project for survivors of Guy Ritchie’s early gangster films. The director is one-time Ritchie regular Jason Flemyng, the cast includes cameos from his former screen comrades Dexter Fletcher and Nick Moran, and the main fight sequence was guest-directed by breakout action star Jason Statham. But a much more obvious influence than Ritchie on this affectionate horror parody are the genre-spoofing comic-book antics of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, whose tongue-in-cheek signature style looms large enough here to invite some unflattering comparisons.
Flemyng and screenwriter Danny King deploy the same kind of film-geek homages as Pegg and Wright, quoting from The Great Escape and The Shining among others, but with little of their quickfire wit or imaginative brio. A rich ensemble cast including Mackenzie Crook (Game of Thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean), Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who, Sense8) and Charlie Cox (Daredevil, Boardwalk Empire) may boost the film’s commercial prospects slightly, but the comedy is clumsy and the horror toothless. Premiered at FrightFest in London last weekend, Eat Locals goes on limited U.K. theatrical release this week ahead of a simultaneous VOD and DVD launch in late October.
Cocky young blade Sebastian (Billy Cook) steps off a night train in a sleepy English country town for a mysterious date with seductive older woman Vanessa (Eve Myles). But his carnal expectations are thwarted when it turns out he has been lured to a remote farmhouse for a gathering of the ruling vampire council, who meet only twice every century to take care of business, bicker over blood-sucking quotas, and recruit new candidates to their thinning ranks. When Sebastian's interview with the vampires backfires, the odds on him surviving from dusk until dawn start to look pretty slim.
Meanwhile, a Special Forces team of heavily armed vampire slayers led by Bingham (Robert Portal) and Larrouse (Crook) are staking out the farmhouse. But they were only banking on taking down one blood-sucker, not a small army. This cat and mouse game soon escalates into a full-blown gunfight between the living and the undead, with subplots about captive hostages and cannibal killers adding extra flavor to the usual neck-munching, heart-piercing, daylight-shunning frolics.
The premise for Eat Locals, with its echoes of superior pulp classics like Assault on Precinct 13 and Night of the Living Dead, is full of juicy potential. Sadly, the finished package is a parade of labored jokes and bloodless caricatures, missing the target both as comedy and horror. Energy levels are also way too flat for a kick-ass vampire grindcore orgy, though the thrill factor spikes noticeably during a kinetic fight scene in a barn, where Statham’s action-hero chops clearly come into play.
In total, Eat Locals delivers a handful of funny lines and hammy scares. But Flemyng’s low-voltage debut mostly creates the impression of watching a bunch of old acting buddies reuniting for some semi-improvised amateur dramatics at a Halloween fancy dress party. Roaring good fun for the participants, no doubt, but pretty dull as spectator sport.
Production companies: Evolution Pictures, Hereford Films Cast: Mackenzie Crook, Freema Agyeman, Charlie Cox, Eve Myles, Vincent Regan, Tony Curran, Dexter Fletcher, Ruth Jones, Annette Crosbie Director: Jason Flemyng Screenwriter: Danny King Producers: Neil Jones Rod Smith, Jonathan Sothcott Cinematographer: Chas Bain Editor: Alex Fenn Music: James Seymour Brett 94 minutes"

ew.com/movies/2017/09/11/stephen-king-it-sequel-details/ "ONWARD TO CHAPTER TWO
As those who saw the movie know, it ends with the title It and the phrase “Chapter One” appearing just beneath. And after the credits, those who stick around are treated to a disembodied giggle from Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise the Dancing Clown. He’s down, but he’s not out.
The plan all along was to cleave King’s 1,000-plus page novel in half, separating the story of the kids in the Losers Club from the parallel tale of their adult selves, returning to the town of Derry to confront the shapeshifting evil presence they thought they defeated as children.
While Chapter One took place entirely in 1988 and 1989, Chapter Two will be set in the present day, featuring the Losers Club as grown-ups, reunited by their blood-oath at the end to fight Pennywise again if he resurrects in 27 years."

Has anyone heard anything about "Mother" with Javier Bardem? It looks creepy good. The promos make him look like a scarier JDM/Negan. (Sorry, I'm on my phone and don't know how to link it.)

Saw "It" the other night. I was nervous about going but I loved it. Definitely would like to see it again. The young actors were excellent, but I heard they may appear in the sequel. Hope they film soon or account for growth, because they already are changing physically. My husband's only negative comment was about the blood in the bathroom. Well, he has never had a period. Thought the whole movie and special effects were great.
Go see It.

dark sister has seen it darkandstormy, so maybe she will share some details and her opinions. For me, it is a "wait for" movie given the reviews I have seen so far. But she can share some juicy details I bet.

It's not a horror movie. To be honest it's more of a metaphorical version of the the bible. There is a lot of disturbing imagery but if you're going in looking for straight up horror you won't find it.

I've seen mixed reviews skewing negative, because people didn't know what to expect. I was hoping for horror, and now I'm not as eager to see it!
