Thoughts;
I was so excited for this movie. I was so hoping it would be better than the original. We have so much better special effects than we did back then. I'm sorry to say I was really disappointed. Not only was this a two hours movie, but it was only part one and in my opinion not at all scary or creepy.



This movie doesn't follow the book or the original. The concept is the same, the creepy clown, kids disappearing and things only the kids can see.



I just felt it was so twisted around and had way too many things that we just didn't need. It definitely had potential to be so much better and scarier. Here's to hoping for Chapter 2.
