Pennywise (IT, 2017)

Arguably nothing has done more to sully the good name of the humble clown and spread coulrophobia worldwide than Stephen King’s terrifying and relentless child-devouring, fear-munching cosmic demon with a clown exterior. And Andy Muschietti’s recent adaptation and first big screen version of ‘Pennywise’ was a frightening success all around, powered by an extraordinary performance by Bill Skarsgård which puts a final nail in the coffin for clowns as children’s light entertainment, probably consigning them to the scrapheap of creepiness for eternity.

Directed by Andy Muschietti and starring Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis and Bill Skarsgård among others.

Genre: Horror
