Very scary stuff; children are in constant peril, with a flat-out terrifying clown who threatens the main characters. Lots of bullying, including a scene in which a teenager carves a child's stomach with a knife, and another stabs a man in a very bloody scene.
In Cohen's 1990 version, Tim Curry as Pennywise was terrifying, but like many classic horror films it felt campy and cheesy. No gore or guts were ever shown; any pivotable scary moments with Pennywise were paired with loud music, slow motion and abrupt fade ins and outs.
1. The Exorcist (1973) By the '70s, horror had divided into two camps: on one hand, there were the 'real life' terrors of Psycho and Night of the Living Dead, films that brought horror into the realm of the everyday, making it all the more shocking.
The Movie is Rated R in the USA. In my opinion it might be rated R for Strong Horror Violence and Gore, Strong Language and Mild Nudity. In Australia at the DVD it is rated MA 15+ for Strong Horror Violence. Kids under the age of 15 should obviously watch it with a Parent or an Adult.
The Atlantic said of the character; "the scariest thing about Pennywise, though, is how he preys on children's deepest fears, manifesting the monsters they're most petrified by (something J. K. Rowling would later emulate with boggarts)." British scholar Mikita Brottman has also said of the miniseries version of ...

Why do adults not see Pennywise?
They reach the conclusion that Pennywise has all of the adults under some sort of spell that prohibits them from seeing him. The adults of Derry are shown to be villainous in their own right as well. The adults of Derry are shown to be true villains of the story in the same way as Pennywise.
Yup! He's a demon and the general idea is if you are not scare, it will only be harder for Pennywise to kill you as he needs to bait you. He can kill you if he wants to anytime and doesn't care. Although, if you are not scared, he will either leave you be for a little while or just kill you in the instant .
Parents need to know that It Chapter Two is the follow-up to the hugely successful It (2017); both films are based on Stephen King's novel. This one -- which is more centered on adults than kids -- is very long and less scary than the first, but it's definitely entertaining, with great characters and true teamwork.
For example, some films' descriptors may read "Rated R for strong/graphic violent content, disturbing material, sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and pervasive language". By the early 2000s, the MPAA began applying rating explanations for PG, PG-13, and NC-17-rated films as well.
An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the board, contains some adult material. The film may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously.
The Human Centipede was banned altogether from Icelandic, British, and Australian theaters and released in the US without a rating. Its sequel, The Human Centipede 2, was placed under even heavier bans due to its exacerbation of the horrific elements in the first film.
Very scary horror. This is an extremely scary, graphic horror movie that should not be taken lightly. I have seen my fair share of horror movies over the years but this one definitely has a different feel to it. It is chilling, unnerving, and very difficult to watch sometimes.
Some Scream movies have been too goofy to be truly scary, while others redefined the horror genre and shocked audiences. The original Scream is considered the scariest due to its unsettling level of believability and well-developed villains.
If your kid is in their early teens or even just shy of being a teenager, there is nothing in this movie that they cannot handle. Just some violence and language is about the worst of it.
As the creature is referred to as "he" in this form, it can be assumed that the clown is male. Since that clown is Pennywise's most used form, it makes sense that both adaptations would depict him as a clown.
I recommend this film to everyone who loves slightly disturbing films and TV shows like me but for anyone under the age of 13 you really should not watch it. It's very gory and contains adult language.
Some things just aren't appropriate for kids. The movie is quite scary, and pretty gross in places too. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under the age of about 15 or 16.
Titles rated E (Everyone) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 6 and older. Titles in this category may contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence and/or infrequent use of mild language.
The main reason that Art the Clown beats Pennywise when it comes to scare factor is the simplicity of his modus operandi. Without a word (and usually without betraying emotions other than sadistic glee, unless he's seriously hurt), Art the Clown just tortures, maims, and murders for no discernible reason.
The old version specifically use music so it is easy to predict when something will jump out on the screen. It is meant to make the moment suspenseful, but it comes off as cheesy. Both movies share the same theme song. The lack of music in the new movie is what makes it even scarier.
Compared to the original 2017 film, IT Chapter Two plays out more like an epic drama, rather than a traditional horror. Andy Muschietti's IT Chapter Two is a horror movie based on a Stephen King novel, but it's not as scary as the first movie, though it does have its fair share of horrifying moments.
And if his victim believes him to be powerless, he will become powerless. And so the group figures out that their best bet is, essentially, to bully the bully: They mock Pennywise, telling him he isn't scary. Humiliated, Pennywise begins to shrink, transforming into an almost Benjamin Button–like, melted clown-baby.
It was said on page 1361 that the Spider being both female and pregnant was a symbolic interperetation. Its not literal, but a representation of whatever equivalent but inconceivable reproductive capability It actually has. Pennywise didn't become pregnant.
IT arrived on Earth through an event similar to an asteroid impact, landing in what would later become Derry, Maine. Once there, IT adopted its usual pattern of hibernation that lasted between 27 and 30 years, awakening to kill and eat and then going back to sleep.
