Stephen King's It Chapter One. A horror film based on the best selling novel. I had seen the old film and so hoped this version would be different. It is. Nice special effects. Such a great cast of actors. Bill and the child actors did good. Set in 1989 Derry. People have been going missing. A supernatural force is responsible. You have a group of friends having just finished for the summer holidays. One by one they are targeted by Pennywise the clown. They all have their daily share of problems. Beverly is pretty, she reminded me of a young Molly Ringwald. I will be watching Chapter Two. Take a look at IMDb trivia. Mixed soundtrack. Fresh take on a classic. I recommend Christine, Rose Red, The Langoliers, Carrie, Stand By Me, 1408, Cell. Click on the ads to get you to Amazon.

It Chapter Two is the sequel to the earlier story. Set 27 years later. The Loser Club are grown up. Pennywise is back and feeding again. They have a reunion in Derry. They have to finish what they started. Great cast of actors. Nice little references and a cameo. Good special effects. Contains humour like with the last film. I will be looking at trivia and discussions. Great scares and shocking scenes.

I have just watched Stephen King's Doctor Sleep. It is the sequel to The Shining. Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and other fine actors. Nice special effects, cinematography, soundtrack and acting. A creepy horror. Mr King would be proud. Danny is now a grown man. Still carrying his special gift. Homeless and has a drink problem. In another part of the country are a group of individuals. Also gifted. They have had long lives. They feed on children. Stealing their essence. References are made to the first film. They wanted to do it in Kubrick's style. It is a long film, over 2 hours. I recommend that you see this movie. I enjoyed many of Stephen King's books. One girl named Abra has powers and Danny must get to her before the villains do. I am going to look at the trivia and discussions. Rebecca is hot as always. Cast. Ewan McGregor. as Danny Torrance. Rebecca Ferguson. as Rose the Hat. Kyliegh Curran. as Abra. Carl Lumbly. as Dick Hallorann. Zahn McClarnon. as Crow Daddy. Emily Alyn Lind. as Snakebite Andi. Bruce Greenwood. as Dr. John. Jocelin Donahue. as Lucy.

Cell

CELL is a movie based on the novel by Stephen King. A great book that I recommend. This film is quite good. If you like The Crazies, 28 Days Later or any zombie films then check this out. John Cusack plays a graphic artist that lives in Boston. His wife and son live in another town. People are constantly on their mobile phones. From the ones using they receive some sort of message, an infection. It drives them crazy. They become violent. Samuel L Jackson plays a train driver. A few other survivors are introduced. Good scares and lots of violence. Cert 15. Good acting from the main cast and the actors. You can look up trivia and discussions once having seen the film.
