Bill Skarsgard (who played Pennywise) was really nervous and concerned that he was traumatizing the child actors with his performance. After one especially intense scene one of the kids snapped out of his scared acting and enthusiastically told Skarsgard he really liked what he was doing with the character.

To offer an explanation as to why the adults in this town seem to be a bit off, it’s explained in the book that the monster has such an influence over the town that no matter how violent and horrible things get, everyone just seems to ignore it.

So it's not really explained in the movie, but Pennywise terrorizes his prey first because he likes the way fear tastes. It's his way of "seasoning the meat". So he shapeshifts into whatever his potential victims are most afraid of.

The adults in Derry are basically cursed to be ignorant of Pennywise’s existence.

She saw blood because she was afraid of getting her period ...because of her dad ..and so on ..all of the visions were their greatest fears

2:44 it’s noted in the novel that Pennywise is the town itself, and exerts unimaginable influence. And IT causes adults to ignore/not notice it’s actions and it’s vile influence

Y'all are killing me with the "Do you think that was real?" 😂 It's Pennywise. He delivers. Also, don't miss Chapter 2. Gotta finish the story.

“they’re gazebos!” my favorite line 😂😂😂

Their visions aren’t visions. Everything they’re seeing is real. PennyWise holds a trance like state over the entire town. Didn’t y’all notice the adults never really cared? The adults see everything the kids are seeing but it’s normal & perfectly fine to them. Pennywise keeps the adults in a state where they just don’t care. PennyWise has been in Derry for a very, very long time. Lastly, the reason why PennyWise scares the kids, their personal encounters with PennyWise, is because it salts the meat. PennyWise loves to scare the kids first, he says it makes them “taste” better. Yes, there is a “IT” “Chapter 2”.

Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise is BRILLIANT. In the original 1990 mini-series, Tim Curry's Pennywise was mostly comedic. But Bill's performance is more creepy and frightening while also being a little comedic at times.

No words can express how i excited i am whenever y'all react to a movie with jumpscares

Fun Fact: This movie came out 27 years after the old movie/miniseries

Remember that IT isn't just Pennywise the clown. Pennywise is just a form it uses to instill fear in the kids, because kids are scared of clowns. It covers the entire town in an aura of apathy and negativity in order to feed on scared kids. IT can manifest everywhere, even on people's tvs. Ever notice how all the kids parents are super shitty, and spend a bunch of time in front of the tv? IT is making the town the perfect breeding ground for vulnerable kids, so IT can terrify and eat them. Watch the movie back, and you'll see IT disguised as bystanders like the librarian or as graffiti or any number of things, always watching the kids.

The thing with Pennywise... it's all real as long as you believe it's real.

That very first scene where all expression just bleeds off the clown’s face is so chilling.

him:" its called monster house or something" , me: "yea its called monster house

There's a deleted scene showing Henry in the car as the kids go into the house. In it, you see that he also murdered his two friends whose bodies are sitting in the car with him.

Great reaction guys. No surprise there. If no one has answered it yet. The reason for him slowly showing the kids their fears is because it makes them tastier. I believe its from the book that "IT" says its like "salting the meat." So fear is like seasoning your food. That's why IT targets kids because they're easier to scare which equals tastier food. That doesn't mean adults are completely off the menu. Hope you guys watch "Chapter Two"

A lot of people don’t like the second film, because it has a different mood than the first, but for me-taken as a one-two punch, it’s a quality horror experience 👍

1:42 "I would have been just like this kid. I am not necessary afraid of clowns. I would've talked to him" Sorry bro. a clown in the sewer wanting to play with a kid is a huge red flag lol

I’m not a big fan of part 2 but this movie is definitely one of the greatest in recent years. The dialogue between the kids is top tier

In the original book, the kids were set in the late 1950's and the modern era was the early 80's, which is why some behaviors are 'off' from what you expect, like the tighty whities and the overt racism and bullying. Also in the book there is a subtle but present idea that they have some kind of divine help when they are together as one(as the first time at the rock fight), and that they are part of a war between extraplanar beings, Maturin the Great Turtle, and It, the Spider with the Deadlights.

I think the rocks were big because it might be hard to see smaller rocks on camera

Pennywise has crazy powers. He has the town especially adults under his control. It's like being in a fog it's why there's so many child missing cases or horror things and nothing is done. It symbolizes bullying etc. As a kid and adults not doing anything about it.

It’s not a vision when they are getting attacked by their fears. It is a being that preys on children and attacks them with their biggest fears. No adults can see It. It can transform and become your biggest fear.

Finn wolfhard as Richie was the best part of the movie😂😂😂

Pennywise actor (Bill) was kept away from the whole kid cast crew until his scene with them are up for shooting, it was director orcer, so he would be an actual surprise for them when it's come to shooting that specific scene. The book version of this series is WAY more gross, and grim than the one we got as film and TV series.

Watching the making of these movies is very intriguing. Bill Skarsgård is amazing and how his eyes can naturally look in 2 different directions, he is also almost scarier playing Pennywise without the make up. Can’t wait to watch you review IT Chapter 2.

Being a fan of the novel (my second favorite coming just behind The Stand), you have no clue how amped I was during the house on Neibolt St. and the Apocalyptic Rock Fight scenes, both were left out of the previous miniseries version

The projector scene in the garage is some of the best shit.

should definitely check out chapter two, these movies are so special to me ☺️ I came for the horror and stayed for the characters, love them sm

The parents aren’t wackos. That’s the power of It. Adults dont see what he does because he doesn’t feed on them as much since children get more scared and for It, the fear makes them taste better

This is one of Stephen King's more controversial Novels. They didn't include it in the movie but there is a very graphic sex scene that if it was included, you would say out loud WTF?! There are still people who want this book banned.

13:15 THE MONSTER HOUSE!!! THAT MOVIE SCARED ME AS A KID LOL

I’ve come to the conclusion that Pennywise doesn’t immediately kill the kills and scares them as if like seasoning his meals first

13:25 I'm several days late and don't see any other comments mentioning it but yes you're right. Its an animated movie called Monster House and it's a fun movie

Although I still love and read the book, this was a very strong adaptation. Really enjoyed how they changed some things up to make it more modern while keeping the idea alive.

7:02 This was one of the coolest creepy moments in recent horror film, because it's meant to make you question what you saw. The Librarian behind him... most reactors don't see it.

Now, Chapter 2.

Vince you are spot on!! First person I seen in a long time bring up monster house. Am 26 and still remember it being pretty cool for its time. Awesome reaction and content as always from you both!! 🙏🏾

Many thanks to Shoshana & Vince! 🎈 Yes, indeed there's a sequel from 2019... and it's vital for you to finish the story. #ThePerfectMix #AndyMuschietti #It #It2017 #ItChapterOne

I love how the film accurately depicts how bullies were back in the day. Another iconic method of bullying was to slip cherry bombs in their back pockets of an innocent to blow up their ass cheek muscle tissue, and the follow-up would be that they wouldn't be able to sit down properly due to the damage caused, thus leading to bullying about the kid now being gay or being taken advantage of by a man and therefore is now gay. If it wasn't in the back pocket, then they'd forced them to hold the cherry bombs with a closed fist. Medical costs were so bad back then that the damage would usually send the family into intense medical debt. Bullying back in the day brutalize todays bullies by a landslide.

He's not really a clown but its the form he likes to use the most.

I grew up watching the original 2 part tv movie and it scared the crap outta me, especially part 1 of that These movies are pretty good too and steps it up a notch because of the technology we have now vS then.

My favorite part is when theyre talking about popcorn and then IT starts to growl. Such a predator/prey moment

IT aka Pennywise the clown, aka Robert Bob Gray, is an interdimesional alien being from a different universe, and his ability is to shape-shift to your worst fears. His other abilities are illusions, regenerative healing, and make the adults delusional or confused. His true form is the Deadlights, cosmic energy orbs that's forms into what he is.

9:25 - 9:26 She Said That “Yeahhh” As Though She Was In Scooby-Doo Tryin’ To Solve A Mystery! 😆

I’m curious, since I don’t think I heard you mention it: did you notice that the actor who plays Richie Tozier is also Mike Wheeler in _Stranger Things?_ It’s kind of funny, because the novel _IT_ and the 1990 miniseries version were among of the Duffer brothers’ biggest influences in creating that show, but to the extent that you can map the Party onto the Losers’ Club, Mike is obviously Bill Denbrough, not Richie. Richie, at least in this film version, is closer to Lucas - the skeptic whose distrust creates some dissension in the group, though I think in the novel that was more Stanley Uris’s role. You can see elements of Eddie Kaspbrak in Will Byers, the smallest and most fragile of the boys, although Joyce is a _much_ better mother than Eddie’s mom (you were right about the Munchausen-by-proxy element, that’s _exactly_ what Mrs. Kaspbrak is about).

As the original film (made for tv version) was shown in two parts I think its only fitting that your next reaction should be: IT Chapter 2. This incredible remake was split into two separate films for a deeper more theatrical experience (and also for the money grab the studio wanted)

I Still Remember How much I Loved This movie when it came Out, Scared Me Alot but was so freaking Funny Especially Richie, Him talking was just Funny 😂

So funny seeing you react to the river scene. Definitely you’re not Gen X. I lived in a small town as a kid and my friends and I did that a lot of times. Left school or skipped school and went swimming. Sometimes a few girls would go with us. Remember doing it since I was 11 years old.

This was the scariest book i ever read... ive got to say they did a decent job with the two movies in capturing the fear each child dealt with.

Stephen King's novel 'It' was first made into a TV movie back in 1990... It was also in 2 parts, but in a different storytelling format than this version made explicit for the big screen. The original movie had actor Tim Curry as 'Pennywise the clown'... The first part started w/ the 7 kids as adults. Mike Hanlon (of the seven) still lives in Derry when kids start going missing or getting killed... He finds an old photo of George Denbrough (Bill's little brother 'Georgie' who was killed by Pennywise when they were kids) left at a crime scene and deduces that Pennywise has returned... Mike starts calling the other 6 and asks them to return to Derry to fulfill a promise they had made... Each of the 6 adults gets a call from Mike and recall their experiences w/ Pennywise as they make their way back... Bill is a writer and author, Ben is an architect, Beverly is a fashion designer, Richie is a stand-up comedian, Eddie owns a limo company, and Stan own an accounting firm - w/ all 6 making big money outside of Derry, while Mike is a librarian in Derry. 'It -Chapter 2' for the big screen was the opposite - the adults were having flashbacks of their first experiences w/ Pennywise.

You didn't seem to recognize the scary lady at 6:26. I recommend you watch the movie "Mama", A horror film. I believe you would like it, it's very good. A lot of secret cameos and movie references were added to the movie It.

20:23 Ive never seen anyone spit their soul out, suck it back in and then expel it once more. I am dying over here.🤣🤣

Great reaction you two! 😊 I love this movie! Definitely one of my favorite Stephen King book adaptation. There's one thing that was from the book that thankfully wasn't in this movie or the sequel. You can Google it if either one of you are curious. LOL! Bill Skarsgård is fantastic as Pennywise, the Dancing Clown. Both him and Tim Curry(who played Pennywise in the 1990 mini-series)are amazing. And the kids in the Losers Club are so perfectly casted. I VERY HIGHLY recommend the 2017 sequel "IT: Chapter 2" to see how the story ends. And remember....you'll float too!!!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

Y'all are my favorite duo to watch movies with keep posting these I love them lol

Monster house was a great movie i loved it growing up, you guys should definitely watch it

October is my favorite month for reaction videos :D

I watched both movies 4 times, and at night, from 12 AM to 3 AM, did not even jump once, the movies felt funny to me. Love Pennywise 🧡🎈

That was SO much fun! What a great upload guys 👏👏👏👏 Chapter 2 is pretty dammed ferocious so definitely looking forward to that reaction 😄

i LOVE part 2! y’all should definitely watch it

Everytime I see yalls post it puts a smile on my face, I thank you both for the amount of joy and laughter you bring into my life with your reaction videos!

33:53 I'm probably the only person that recognized that lord of the rings cave troll howling

Absolutely brilliant that this movie was released 27 years after the original was released.

Great reaction to an amazing movie. Y’all have to do Part 2! It’s the Losers Club 27 years later when Pennywise comes back again.

also from what i remember when it comes to Henry is Henry had a hate-filled childhood. From the start, he was abused both physically and psychologically by his abusive Nazi father Oscar "Butch" Bowers. Butch beat both his son and wife on a daily basis the latter eventually leaving him after he beat her nearly to death.

I love how natural your reactions are. So many ham it up for youtube, but here it's so chill. May i recommend Sliding Doors? It's a romance with a slight sci-fi twist and Gwenyth Paltrow before she was bananas.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie/remake. They did a great job of making it very scary.

13:30 yeah-yeah, that movie exits and called exactly that - monster house

Yep, it’s Monster House you’re thinking of. That movie scared me when I was a kid 🤣 watched it recently with my 6 year old and she was scared too 🤣

You guys should definltey check out the "IT" Mini-series (1990) to compare and contrast with the movie, which is also a 2 parter. Funny enough the movie came out 27 years later after the mini series did. lol I've seen the Mini-series and thought it was definitely scary for a "Made for TV" movie. When I watched this version, this stepped up from the original and then some. This was one of the many remakes I thought was good if not better than the original... mostly better. I actually had some creeped out and scare moments I've hadn't had since the orignal came out (I was 7 at the time). Your reaction was my reaction, and came out of the movie theater quite satisfied because it was such a great movie. :)

I don't know if you're able to but after you watch these two It movies, you should really go back and watch the made for TV It movies. It has the phenomenal Tim Curry playing it in those. And in my opinion in a lot of ways he's just as scary as Bill Skarsgard which is this version of it, if not more scary in a lot of spots. It's less CGI and more just really creepy. Although This version of it where he does his eyes in two different directions, that's actually Bill Skarsgard doing that.

“Or at best I know who did it to my little brother and I want smoke” 🤣

Bill skarsgard the actor who played pennywise was 27 in the time this was filmed. The release of this movie was also 27 years after the original IT.

The scariest part is that skarsgard is 6'4

In the book/novel there's actually an orgy scene with the kids. But they obviously can't do that in the movie. But yes I think Pennywise is suppose to be sn alien. I saw both in theaters. When I saw IT Chapter 2 in theaters it was probably the loudest movie I have ever seen in theaters. It's almost as good as the first one. There's going to be a TV series called Welcome To Derry.

Dude you killed me with the “visions”…IT WAS REAL!!!! Didn’t matter if not everyone could see it

Pennywise will still come for them all Until they officially become grown ups

The way Shoshana be jumping is funny is hell 😂😂

love love this move! remake was great as the 1990 version. also this is how normal people get scare watching IT. as someone who watch this an dozen times. it funny seeing ppl get jumpscared! cant wait for part 2!

The messsed up thing about this story is in the book “IT” Beverly had fantasies and actually had sexual activities with everyone in the group all from the mind of Steven king about young kids💀

30:30 Y'all got me dying here lmaooo

1:34 Vince laughing and Shoshanna's face like "tf is wrong with you this little boy is about to fuckin die fr"

The part where they see IT in the kitchen was the first actual time they saw Bill in full costume. So they're reactions were genuine

Im kinda surprised that you both didn’t say anything about Richie since that’s Finn Wolfhard who also plays Mike in stranger things

This movie is filled with Easter eggs for the novel. The refrigerator with Pennywise in it is a nod to the discarded refrigerator used by Hockstetler (sp), the Lego turtle, the mural of the gang slaying next to the butcher shop's back door, Mike's parent's fate and vision being like the Black Hole bar arson, etc. all tie into the novel even though they are represented differently in the movie. What I liked more than anything was Derry having a canal and that Paul Bunyan statue. The TV miniseries had its faithful portions as did this movie and its sequel but the newer movies seem more immersive to me.

Lmao!! I'm also not afraid of clowns, they're actually some of my favorite characters in horror (pennywise, art the clown, twisty, etc.) But if I saw one in a sewer?!?! I'd still run FAR away!!! 😂

the scary thing about this...YES the parents do see IT...and know about IT...they just pretend they don't because they are all so scared and in denial. If you watch that scene where Georgie got taken again you'll notice...the cat saw and heard what happened...but the old woman didn't...because she CHOSE to ignore it. i don't know when that was a thing but at one point licking your hand and then putting it on someone was like saying "you're my bi%$" and not in a sexual way. IT/ Pennywise creates what we fear the most...the more fear you have in your body the more powerful he is...which is what makes him one of the most terrifying creatures in Stephen King lore...fear is a natural part of us all...it's ok to have fears...we all do...so long as they don't overwhelm us...but with pennywise around having fear makes you weak. those three lights inside Pennywise...THAT is his TRUE FORM it's called the Deadlights and it has the power to send people into a hypnotic trance.

Gotta do chapter 2 for Bill Hader's performance 😊

I didnt think they would show Georgie's arm getting bit off and him struggling to get out. It was only implied in the original version, but...this was bananas. This reboot was amazing imo Edit: you guys missed the part in the library where the patrons were staring and smiling when the boy was reading the stuff about the Easter incident. Creepy af

Reasons for the visions, they taste better when they are scared. More scared they are, better they taste. Basically salting them up! Also Pennywise lore is vast, you just aren't gonna get it all in a movie. Especially when he has fingers in a lot of Stephen Kings stories. Same with how these kids get the strength to fight Pennywise. That character is constantly giving powers to fight off pennywise evil. Called the shine, which is that famous Jack Nickelson movie. The Shinning!

I read this book twice. I love this story. Still so much more in the book. Over 1000 pages😂

U could tell Vince was scared as shit he would not stop talkin 😂

I was 15 when i watched it and movies in which characters grow with us connects a lot and im crying seeing the end.........But IT 2 gives a future what and how troubly it is when u grow up , its just work you do and no friends , im 18 and im really afraid of that future

fun fact: richie lied abt his fear. thats why hes not super freaked out by the clown room besides it just being slightly disturbing. dude literally looked behind him, saw a clown, and went "ok that works" and lied bc he didnt want to tell them fr 😭😭

What makes stories like this creepy is that it almost shows the adults as the villains because they don't seem to give a fuck nor experience any of this since the monster is after children. Not the biggest fan of chapter 2. But I still enjoy both versions of IT. this modern one, and the 90's tv movie version. And speaking of Stephen King, you should watch THE SHINING AND DOCTOR SLEEP (DIRECTOR'S CUT OF DOCTOR SLEEP IS WAY BETTER THO)

Please watch "IT Chapter 2". They split the one book into two movies, so you have seen only half of the story with these characters.

I love when you guys react to horror movies bc I always need someone to watch scary movies with lol also
