No thanks. The fact that it was as frightening as it was without all the stupid gore is what set it apart from so many other horror movies that lazily use gore as a replacement for terror.

It Chapter Two - Final Trailer
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
First one was such a disappointment after all the hype I had. Hope this one is passable at least. Gonna watch it when it's available for streaming anyways.
While it wasn't overly gory, it still was far more visceral than many other movies that put kids in danger. The opening with Georgie was much more graphic than the original series.
And to its credit, the original series had its flaws but had some really good moments of genuine creepiness.
The trailers for these movies are good, but I thought the first IT film was also amazing. I say that as someone whose favorite novel is IT & who was scarred pretty badly as a young kid by the original miniseries and Tim Curry's Pennywise.
Muschietti confirmed that it'll definitely be gorier than the first. Plus, Chastain recently stated that she was involved in a sequence that features 4,500 gallons of fake blood -- the most ever put to screen. So, yeah.

Damn, I'm stoked
I mean, I still enjoyed the first one, but I felt it was a bit too much of a coming-of-age tale with horror elements in the background. As great as the set-pieces were, I found them tonally detached from the rest of the experience.
This is where I am hoping these scenes are going
Lots of Alien/Prometheus vibes on this

Yeah, it's almost on par with the casting for the kids/adults in the Dark-series.
Maybe a complete two-fer of both films extended. I'd go for that.
Need my boy Maturin to come in and confuse everyone.
I want an edit that's closer to the way the book (and mini-series iirc) told the story, with it going adult-kid-adult-kid-adult-kid, etc...

Man, Part 1 is, no joke, one of my favourite movies I think. It's so DAMN good.
It's true that part of that is because the kid actors, all of them where damn perfect. But this looks as inspired. I cannot wait.

Curious to see if they're gonna include any of the "smoke hole" stuff, and how far they're gonna go with Adrian's scene. I'm also wondering about that final scene in the trailer, definitely seems like it takes place several centuries ago.
So damn excited for this!

This was great and I love the funhouse scene they showed. It's also nice to see Mike get his role back since his character got screwed in the first film.
Check out the trailer, almost at the end before the scene you mention. It seems the smoke scene is going to be here.
That's encouraging. Anyone spot anything in those quick flashes which could be the Ritual of Chud?
He's significantly more important in both the book and the mini-series, but "he grows up to have more lines" is definitely a valid comment for this particular adaptation considering he was almost completely insignificant in the first movie. A lot of his story was pushed onto Ben.
