  Really cheesy but a good watch
  
  The film was really cheesy, but still good fun to watch, there are a few scary moments, although I found it more humourous than scary!

  Absolutely Brilliant!!
  
  Ending was a bit silly, but don't let that put you off!! This has to be one of the scariest movies of all time. Tim Curry is perfect as Pennywise!
