Movies: IT (2017) (15) & American Assassin (18)

IT (2017) (15) – what’s it about? – A remake of the movie about a scary clown that steals children every 27 years.

I really wish I’d re-watched the original recently so I could compare them, but I don’t think I’ve seen it for about 15 years. I wasn’t sure how they’d do this one though, you know remaking a classic horror movie like that, but I think they done it pretty well. It was billed to be super scary (from what people had said online) but it sadly wasn’t – I found Annabel Creation far scarier! This was just a good watch, a little creepy in parts but I wouldn’t say hide behind a blanket scary…well unless you’re scared of clowns then I suppose it would be. Yep it was a good take on the story with good acting and effects, so yep all good which makes it worth a watch!

Rating: ****



American Assassin (18) – what’s it about? A secret CIA team try to stop a bad guy who has a nuclear missile.

If you’ve seen one of these types of movies then you’ve seen them all really. It’s the usual and nothing new and all very predictable but saying that it’s still a good mindless movie. I still quite happy sat and enjoyed the story, action and violence just don’t expect to be wowed by anything original.

Rating: ***
