I saw the original and this version is way better.
A group of students begin noticing that people are missing and after doing their research, they find that it happens every 27 years. After discovering that something is abducting kids, each of the group members begins having their greatest fear haunt them, controlled by the evil clown/demon Pennywise (Skarsgård).
To me, and to others, the film is not scary. It's creepy, but also funny. The kids make the film and have great chemistry with each other as well as emulate how kids are, picking on each other, but still being friends.
Other than the kids being great, Skarsgård also did a great Pennywise. Apparently, from looking at the trivia, he did a lot of his own stunts and like the part where he contorts his body is real and not CGI. That makes it even creepier.
