Stephen King's 1986 novel - previously adapted into a TV miniseries starring the scene-stealing Tim Curry - gets the big-screen treatment, with Mama director Andy Muschietti ably pulling the strings. Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove) takes over from Curry as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the malevolent, shape-shifting demon who drags little Georgie Denbrough into the sewers of Derry, Maine - an act which prompts guilt-ridden older brother Bill (Midnight Special's Jaeden Lieberher) to go looking for answers. Joining him on his brave, Stand by Me-style quest is a ragtag bunch of bulled outsiders including wisecracking loudmouth Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard, Stranger Things) and lone girl of the group Bev Marsh (the excellent Sophia Lillis).
