IT Honest Trailer: The Movie That Killed the Clown Industry


The release of the IT reboot was an astounding success, and the movie has clocked in to be one of the most profitable horror films of all time. With the home release comes the inevitable Honest Trailer courtesy of the guys from Screen Junkies, and it’s as honest as they come.

From the twisted mind of Stephen King, master of horror, suspense, and really inconsistent movie adaptations, comes the scary clown movie that was so scary it killed the actual clown industry.

Though the movie was a success, there’s no doubt that it certainly has its flaws. For one, Pennywise’s way of scaring the children always comes in the same fashion, with the kids noticing something weird, slowly walking toward it, and a monster coming out. I’d have to admit that scene with the projector was horror gold.

The way Pennywise’s origin is also so weird in the books, I think it was smart that the movie chose to keep it a bit simpler. After all, the reason that Pennywise is so scary is because we don’t know anything about him.

The sequel to the movie is set to come out next year, and hopefully director Andy Muschietti manages to make the adult cast just as endearing as the kids. Though I think the movie is great, I can’t help but feel a huge chunk of its success comes from the popularity of Stranger Things.

IT: Chapter Two is set to release on Sept. 6, 2019.
