IT (2017) Review: Why the Miniseries Still Does It Better

from Don't Press Play Podcast · host Alexander Beresford

On this episode of Don’t Press Play, we dive into IT (2017), the blockbuster horror remake that brought Pennywise back to the big screen and terrified a whole new generation. But does it still hold up? We break down the film’s plot, performances, and scares, then stack it up against the 1990 miniseries to ask the real question: which version captures the true spirit of Stephen King’s novel? Faithful adaptation or flashy reimagining, let’s find out which IT floats... and which one sinks.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/don-t-press-play-podcast--6640070/support.
