“We’re Losers and we always will be.”

From It: Chapter Two.

As kids in 1989, Bill (Jaeden Lieberher), Beverly (Sophia Lillis), Mike (Chosen Jacobs), Eddie (Jack Dylan Grazer), Richie (Finn Wolfhard), Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor), and Stanley (Wyatt Oleff) stopped the supernaturally evil clown Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) from destroying their hometown of Derry, Maine.  As they grew up, they all moved away and forgot the horrors that they faced together with the exception of Mike who stayed to keep watch for Pennywise’s return.  Now 27 years later, Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) realizes that the evil clown is back and beginning another seemingly unstoppable killing spree in Derry, so he reaches out to his friends (James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, James Ransone, Bill Hader, Jay Ryan, and Andy Bean respectively) and tells them that it’s time to come home and once again face the monster.  However, the self-proclaimed Losers are reluctant to return and even more reluctant to follow Mike’s plan to kill Pennywise once and for all.  The Losers quickly realize that while they struggle to face the horrors of their pasts in their search to find the clown’s weakness Pennywise is also desperately trying to separate and kill them.  As things draw to a close, Bill and all the others will have to risk everything to fight Pennywise together before it is too late; every attempt that the Losers make to get closer to killing Pennywise leads them deeper and deeper into the darkest parts of Derry and the evil memories of their childhoods.

This second part to the 2017 original is an edge-of-your-seat ride from start to finish that brings Steven King’s book to terrifying life.  Scarier than the first film with a wide range of scary elements to get every viewer’s heart racing.  The adult cast is well selected to embody the highs and lows of their juvenile counterparts, and Hader even manages to bring some humor to the film without destroying the tone overall.  It: Chapter Two is a terrifying yet satisfying finish to one of horror’s most iconic stories.
