FIRST TIME WATCHING: IT - Chapter 1...I HATE CLOWNS!! 

The second part is not on PATREON. WE WILL BE BACK ON SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK. Just ran into some issues

The thing with the gun not being loaded but still hurting pennywise was because bill wasn’t scared anymore and he accepted that Georgie wasn’t alive anymore, so the shot he took symbolised his acceptance/lack of fear, and that’s why it hurt pennywise

Georgie running headfirst into that road sign is always so funny to me, honestly peak comedy

At the end you got the analysis right. This is confirmed in the book. IT has control over the whole town and adults there. Since IT has been there for a looooong time his presence has impacted the area of Derry making it a breeding ground for just the worst people.

Fun Facts: Apparently on set the little boy who plays Georgie and Bill Skarsgård the actor who played Pennywise became really good friends and that apparently the boy got really upset when he couldn't see Skarsgård during one of the recording days. Also Skarsgård made sure he didn't accidently hurt any of kids during the scenes and high five them afterwards. As well as the boy who played Henry despite his character being a psychopathic bully he was actually real nice on set and made sure everyone was okay after the shots they did together.

i´ve noticed that when the blood comes out if the sink in some sort of explosion, only the girls that watch the movie grasp the metaphor. That simbolized that Beverly is afraid of her period (which is normal beause it´s new to her, when she enters the drug store u can see her confusion when shes looking for tampons). Maybe if we´re going deeper, she is also scared of becoming a woman, especially with a dad like hers...

How is it that this man can make even a horror movie reaction, especially THIS movie, absolutely wholesome??? Like, honestly, this is the content I live for, this is my new safe space, it's been decided

Fun fact: the projector scene was the first time the kids had seen Bill Skarsgard (plays pennywise) in his clown makeup so their reactions were real

I don't know if it was planned but the original came out in 1990 and the remake came out in 2017. 27 years apart like Pennywise's 27 year "hibernation"

That bit of Pennywise unfolding himself from the fridge is not an effect. Bill Skarsgard trained with contortionists so he could actually do it. His eyes pointing different directions are real too; they were going to be done with CGI until Skarsgard showed the crew he could really do it, to which they profusely thanked him for saving a ton of effects money.

I ADORE Stephen King, and think he is miles above most horror writers. I think what really makes his work so chilling is that the real horror is the reality of life. Grief, loss addiction, suicide, depression……all of the kids facing Pennywise are really facing the traumas of life, not just a clown. I saw this movie three months after my brother was killed(completely forgetting the premise of it). It was traumatic, but also cathartic for it to be ok to NOT be ok. I think horror allows you to really feel emotions and be ok doing that.

Bill Skarsgard could do the walleye for real without the use of CGI which saved the director a lot of money

If I'm not mistaken, according to the book, what the kids are seeing is real. It (the ancient shapeshifting being) has most of the adults in Derry under a spell, keeping them from seeing what's actually happening to the kids.

That’s why Stephen King is the best. He’s stories are not just scares or monsters, there’s always so many deeper meanings. Movies are great but the books are masterpieces. Nice reaction! 😃

Lol Thor walking in singing the Shining theme. It's ok, Pennywise is no match for the God of Thunder!!

Yes!!! I love “On Writing”!!! Such an under-appreciated but priceless little gem of a book. Great advice and wisdom from one of the greats. Glad to see you doing the IT films! Generally they garner a mixed reaction, but I enjoyed them despite their faults. There are some things they adapted/altered VERY well. And the CASTING. *chef’s kiss*

I must say, it was very comforting to see you using a blanket and pillow for safety as I always do while watching a scary movie at home 🤣 my best friend is terrified of clowns and watched it with me and her boyfriend and even agreed to see IT 2 in theaters and it was so so great

IT can eat adults but he loves to eat children who are terrified (tender flesh) children for IT is like chocolate that's why he takes more children.

Yess!! This is still one of my favorite movies. I don't care if it's not that scary at all, I love the characters and how they're written.

Thor, let’s just say we were all spared from experiencing the gang bang that was in the book…

I think is the first reaction video I'm watching with this guy and this was a fun watch

I forget what IT is described as but he is described as a light eater. He goes after children, specifically children with a special “light” the main kids in the losers club have a particular light that he likes. It’s described as a brighter light than others. Just like in Stephen king movie the shining with Danny. I remember reading about how he also has a brighter light. So bright he can see dead people. It’s also theorized that the creepy things that are happening in that hotel are also IT. Because of the creepy visions and the fact that this once ok father is becoming darker and wants to kill his son.

The film was a critical and financial success, making over $700 million dollars at the box office, turning into the highest grossing Horror film ever.

Your comments are top-tier and you're criminally undersubscribed! Having lived through this era (I was the same age as the characters), I remember it vividly and it always takes me out of the action when minor anachronisms regarding things like clothing pop up...this was one of the few movies that did a great job of staying true to this time period (with a few forgivable exceptions)and I just noticed that the incomparable Janie Bryant was in charge of the costumes...no wonder.

IT is not actually a clown...just to make that clear...in fact hardly anyone really knows what IT really is...Pennywise the Dancing Clown is just one of many forms IT takes on to disguise himself...or should i should i say IT self. There are only a few things we do know; firstly all Stephen King books are set in the same universe (even though not all of them mention each other) and IT is mentioned at least once in another book but i can't remember which (as is the town this film is set in actually...that's in the book/film Dreamcatcher). IT can take shape into almost anything and usually changes into what we fear. It is somewhat hinted it is not from our world (maybe extra-terrestrial but not certain). the centre of IT's being is called the Deadlights it is the glowing vibrant orange lights usualy seen in IT's eyes and later you see it deep in his mouth...those caught in the glow of the Deadlights are paralyzed like a rabbit or deer in headlights...it is almost impossible to escape it. the worst part about the IT story is how the parents refuse to acknowledge IT and what it does...they're just like "nothing's wrong...i see nothing" and it wasn't just beverley dad either...the Mike's uncle or whatever is an asshole too. and the old woman pretends she saw nothing the day billy's brother died.

“Really? you’re criticizing him for reading? You don’t have any friends librarian lady” favorite comment EVER I lost it. I have never laughed so much in a terror reaction! I am a Stephen King fan, I have read his books since I think I was… maybe eleven and although I don’t do it anymore I really find its writing style magnetic. I saw the 90s version of IT and I remember being traumatized hahaha I didn’t understand half of it but still traumatize. With this one, I was very entertained and please, I think the kids are great actors and the bodywork that the actor who plays IT did is really good. I love the film’s photography and enjoy the camera. This story talks to me because I was a kid that was bullied a lot. My mom, when I was 4, taught me to fight (rocky style hahaha) because I will always arrive with bruises on my nose and although after my mom’s training I will fight back with the years it only got worse. I was too noisy or too quiet, too colorful or too gothic and at eleven I was the weird kid who wrote poetry, was chubby, and like to read books during classes. I was Ben hahahahahaha I even had my own impossible crush who I wrote poetry, the handsome Julian. I was called a pig and retarded among other complements. I was in constant fights and my ultimate enemy (I know hahaha) was the grandson of the owner of the school who was the most intelligent one of the class and liked to hit girls. So I had bullies and my personal IT who feed of my fears. I should have had I terrible time and in some ways I did. But there was something that really safe me, my friends. The sporty Laura that was called “The ugly duck” and is one of the most loyal people I know and an incredible anime companion, the soft Luisa that was the daughter of the Spanish teacher and Angela who was and still is as weird, black humor as I am. She is my best friend to this day. We were freaks hahahahaha and we haven't changed much. Playing voleibol the other girls wouldn’t pass us the ball so Angela and I named ourselves the Pets of the team. She clapped and I danced during the games. We are all still friends and I owe them my life and the magic with which I enjoyed and remember my childhood. That’s where I believe this movie does its best. The charm in the friendship of the kids and how they pass from children to teens in front of each other's eyes (In the book is way more explicit). They grow as individuals when they face their respective fears and they prevail for their union.

OK... No blanket, no pillow to duck behind, lights off. Ready!!! Yes, I watch horror alone all the time!

3:44 “I get knocked down, but I get up again, cause you’re never gonna keep me down!”

"is it a vision, or is it real?" the answer: yes!

Man you HAVE to read the book, there's so much in the novel that is alluded to in the movie that has no proper explanation if you haven't read it. Though that doesn't change the fact that this is the best horror movie ever made. It's so well done, and the relationships between the kids and their fears and each other, it's flawless. Each cast member is also perfectly casted and beyond what I pictured the characters looking and being like when I was reading. My favorite part has got to be the Pennywise dance in the sewers. No reason, just funny, and awesome. I hope you'll react to chapter 2 as well, it's really well done too.

Glad you're watching both parts brother. As a matter of fact, make sure you watch the original to, in your free time if you must. Tim Curry, need I say more?

the opening in it 2 broke my spirit it was so tragic

That kid with black hair is a serial killer in the making 10:11 That's a look of pure sadistic ecstasy right there

IT feeds on fear.. each kids vision turns up the volume on whatever they fear most.. for example, the vision of the 'leper' for the germophobe.. the vision of burning bodies crying for help for the kid who lost his parents in a fire etc etc.. fear is the great debilitator.. it's what makes IT so powerful and this such a powerful horror.. our fears kill us.. IT has many opportunities to simply 'Eat' them.. but what he really craves, what makes him stronger, is FEAR, that's what he feeds on.. Also, the way they make IT look in the scene in the garage when they're watching slides is OMFG terrifying!!

Also, when IT "recruits" the town Bully, it's no coincidence.. IT knows the kids FEAR the Bully, so if he can use him as a Tool to keep the fear flowing then all the more better to feed on..

the reason why the parents cant see pennywise. is that they grew up, their fears fade away and they forgot. pennywise preys on the fears of children cause its easier

"...And when you come down here with me, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!!" - Pennywise the Clown🤡

I think Pennywise eats their fear. He can't keep the kids scared enough for long enough.

My theory is the clown is really just all the bad energy in the town. The kids all face oppression of some kind from society and their family. Its them against their barriers in one form

Man, the book is a next level of effed up

In the books the monster-scenes are a little different. Mike isn't haunted by his dead parents (they're alive in the book), so instead of burning hands he's attacked by a giant bird. The mummy attacking Ben during the final battle is a reference to the book. No headless child, but a mummy on the ice during winter. Instead of Georgie in the basement Bill almost loses his finger when he's examining a photo album. Afterwards both him and Richie are attacked by a werewolf. No fear of clowns. Stanley is attacked by a group of zombies instead of the painting. In the movie Patrick is attacked by the zombies. Beverly's and Eddie's first encounters with IT are unchanged, although it's more like a bloody balloon that pops than the damn blood-waterfall that comes out of the sink in the movie.

"If you try you die" is meant to say to them that if they try to resist the bad things that happen in Derry every day, It will take them instead anyway. I feel like It's presence in the town is sort of like a poison, that makes the adults there more fucked up than usual as well.

It scares them before eating them because it likes the way they taste more when they're scared.

One of the scariest scenes in the whole movie was the librarian behind Ben smiling.

Nick I totally enjoy watching movies with you. I wish I had someone like you as a buddy to watch movies with. I hope to see more of you solo.😊

I absolutely love this movie and the sequel. I watch it every year in october. Cant wait to see what you think of chapter 2!!

You’re the first reaction I’ve seen, where both movies are mentioned; The first one where they’re kids, and the 2nd one grownups 👌🏻 I’m a huge horror movie fan, and have seen the original mini series, as well as the two modern remakes

Lol... "yes sometime god of thunder got scare!"😂

My fave scary book and movie( besides Gollum because he was Hobbit and became an scary creature from the tourtue of Ring, it made Gollum kill his best friend for the ring!) Any creature that kill people especially kids makes me very upset!😱😰🥰🤗

The original IT miniseries is the reason that I hate clowns to this day. My cousin and I thought we'd be cool and watch it....when we were 6 & 7. Needless to say, my uncle tried to check on us the next morning only to find we'd managed to maneuver the chest of drawers in front of the door to try and keep Pennywise out. So when I saw this was the movie you were going to watch, I literally went "Oh, no, no, don't do it." (One of my other uncles had the uncanny ability to imitate Pennywise's voice from the original and would sometimes randomly go, "Beep, beep, Richie!" which never failed to make me jump.) Hats off to you for watching this on your own! Edit: I have the book but I still haven't gotten around to reading it. It's one of many in my TBR pile but, hey, maybe I'll get to it soon! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it once you read it.

For those that don't know, the character of IT/Pennywise was based off of an actual serial killer/molester named John Wayne Gacey(i believe) who would kidnap and do nasty things to little boys, he had a job as a party clown...hence Pennywise the Dancing Clown...

This movie changed my life, when I first watched it I was their age and it just spoke to me. These kids and their stuggles and learning to overcome them. The second movie was good too but the first one was everything to me.

Fun fact when there all together in the garage and it comes out of the screen that was there real reaction there first time seeing him fully dressed in the costume

IT is my second favorite book of all time (and my favorite book by an author I don't feel uncomfortable discussing right now). There are some things these movues get right that the Tim Curry TV movies fail at, some things that one gets right that these fail at, things they both do well and things neither of them correctly capture. But they're all worthy experiences. I will say the one and only thing this film does that improves on even the book is changing Stan's fear from a Mummy to that wonderfully nightmare-inducing painting.

The movie and its sequel did a horrible job of explaining why It only scared the Losers while killing others easily. In the book, after the kids met they had a special, powerful bond that the entity found threatening. Another power, Maturin the giant universal turtle, realized their power and helped guide them. They were somewhat protected to an extent by him and their power as a group. In the movie he only becomes afraid of them at the end.

Just as a brief explanation the reason Pennywise likes to scare the kids before he feasts on them is because he feeds on their fear. Basically the more scared they are the tastier they are. Also the adults can't see him because he has a curse put on the town (it's more explained in the book but it's referenced when the balloon in the car appears as Henry is about to cut Ben).

For me, the fact that Pennywise is a monster that is difficult to understand but does have a deep lore if you look hard enough, makes him a kooler monster.

Bill skarsgard is so a beautiful actor he played Pennywise perfect after book

the book has 1,138 pages and worth every word.

Seeing the genuine fear in your eyes brings me back to when I first watched It! Great reaction

If you read the book you'll soon see why this isn't exactly a faithful adaptation of the novel.

The perks of being a wallflower

I’m so down for this!! Solo as well!

The one thing I didn’t like was the way Mike’s story was so different from the book. It’s a great book, you’ll love it.

It feeds on fear, not kids. Kids r just more easier to scare

I hate scary movies so much and PARTICULARLY adaptations of IT but I'm doing this for YOU, THOR.

Hey got the safety blanky and pillow just like the rest of us!

If my sister had been a boy, her name would have been Thor.

This clown made me fall in love with horror! Believe it or not

The only reason why I saw this is because my SIX-year-old nephew made me watch it

I love that hair! I'll take 2 intros any day 😆

I read this book twice. Over a 1000 pages. Amazing

In the book the black boy is the history buff. I don’t totally like that the6 changed that because that one of main things that made him stand out from the rest.

You'll float too You'll float too You'll float too You'll float too You'll float tooOooo 🎈

Definitely watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Little Shop of Horrors for comedy horror. They're both funny and creepy when you think about it. I would say scary movie but you want the channel clean and those are not so family friendly from the language and humor

The Stephen King It miniseries that stars Tim Curry as Pennywise Is good too.

Great reaction. You should definitely react to chapter 2!

I surely hope they release the director's cut of this someday. So much was left on the cutting room floor.

If the novelist like it, it must be good. It's about friendship and moving on from the dead.

The book is... weird. It's... good. But weird. In places. Good luck.

this is my first time watching Thor he so chill anybody like him more than James and Nile toothbrush?

You hate clowns you say? Captain Spaulding would like a word with you.

I'm glad you're also reading the book- it's one of my favorites even beyond the stephen king name brand

I gathered the courage to watch this movie to get over the original fear. Now I have to watch the mini series to complete it. My aunt played it when I was barely six years old... Georgie's age. You can guess the rest 😣

Hi awesome reaction.. I'm old so I saw the original freaking loved it like the original of 'The Stand' but obviously newer movies have better fx but I gotta say I love the first one . Some of the grown up actors were all from well known tv shows which was cool to see them in a movie like that. Like Three's Company.. Night Court . And The Walton's.. Old but popular tv shows But yeah I like this one it's done well.. Though I see they didn't work the magic on the new "Stand" Steven King is great so it's up to people trying to make his stories great on film like"Shawshank & Green Mile"some are so good some are meh... Anyway Thank you ✌️

Ayee thanks for reacting to IT! I wanted James and NineTailedBrush too though to react to this movie🥺🥺

Nice

After you read the book, watch the mini-series of It, it is far more book accurate, less Gore and Tim Curry is great as Pennywise too!

Great adaptation

Congrats on making it thru! 😅👍🏾

Love your reaction to this movie! IT is my favorite book

IT shows up every 25 years. And it doesn't want to feed on them.

This was a fantastic reaction. I am a big fan of the book by Stephen King. Actually it is my favorite book. I think Part I and II do a good job as a movie version of the story, but the book is so much more. I hope you enjoy the book. I am looking forward to Part II and the book review.

Steven King got the idea for writing 'It' while on a plane

Chapter Two is not a sequel, it's the second half of the movie.

it makes sense for It to go after children, fears that children have it can easily manifest into compare to adults unless it can manifest itself into things like debt and student loans most adults wont be scared

My fav guy watching my fav movie! Life is complete! ♥️

Love this movie so much!

Pennywise all cool like no big deal waves at Mike with a severed arm that's creepy

Pennywise is played by Bill Skarsgard starring Billy, Beverly, Richie, Eddie,
