The script was based on a short story and feels like it, mostly because the film seems too vague. It’s open-ended and offers no resolution, which is frustrating as a viewer.

A dreadful film where nothing is firing on all cylinders. An absolute disaster in every way.
“It” remains one of King’s seminal and most well-regarded works, so it’s particularly important that any adaptation gets it right.
This movie is better than nothing, but not as good as you want it to be.
