Pennywise returns in another scare fest but, at three hours, it just doesn't know when to stop

Pennywise himself is at his scariest when being seductive, particularly to small children. Fans of the first film will enjoy going down the sewer of memory lane with the adult Losers’ Club, but this is definitely not a cinema outing for anyone suffering from coulrophobia, ‘a persistent and irrational fear of clowns’

 

The wildly anticipated sequel to Stephen King’s It once again features the demonic clown Pennywise — but this time around he ought to be renamed Poundstretcher, as his toothy scares go on and on for almost three hours, with diminishing effect.

 

The original 2017 It became the highest-grossing horror movie ever, slowly building the dread as Bill Skarsgard’s smiling, villainous clown appeared in apparitions, drawing on a group of children’s worst nightmares, popping up like a ravenous Jack-in-the-box.

 

After children started to mysteriously disappear in the town of Derry in Maine, the gang of seven kids, nicknamed The Losers’ Club, set out to confront the shapeshifting Pennywise.

 

It: Chapter Two picks up the story 27 years later, as ominous red balloons signifying the return of Pennywise float over the town, and a young gay man dies a gruesome death near a funfair after a bone-cracking beating by thugs.
