I usually take peoples opinions of horror with a grain of salt. I said it before that while I love horror as a genre, none of it scares me. Mainly because aspired to be like Rick Baker and so I watched slasher films and another horror like Exorcist and a shit load more as a kid. When I was a little older I was doing gory makeup for self-made haunted houses. Worked in pro haunted houses. No, I never went beyond that because the demand for practical stuff dwindled. Anyway, what I am getting at is why I don't scare from horror films and people thought Conjuring was good when it was shit. Same with the sequel.  So much horror is so predictable, even in games like Until Dawn. I was bored through the whole game. It was just so easy to predict the jump scares that even tho I never played or seen much aside from a trailer from the game. The praise for this film is high but again I took it with a grain of salt..until the other day. Someone posted a couple clips of the movie. The opening with Georgie. Brutal. That's what sold me on IT, because this film is telling me it doesn't give a shit and isn't afraid to show something like a kid brutally killed. That's when I know a film has potential. So I am going to see it Tuesday.
