Stephen Kings epic story of evil clowns, monsters, and innocence comes to the big screen.

Truly memorable film adaptations of Stephen Kings work, as longtime fans know, are few and far between.

The contrast makes later scenes involving her abusive father (Stephen Bogeart) even more painful to watch.

Itdoes suffer from a few drawbacks.

But Im pleased to say that the small flaws inItdont take away from a remarkable genre accomplishment.

Its a chilling, emotional, gripping and heartfelt experience.

Itis out in theaters this Friday (September 8).
