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.

I was going to judge your particular elitist taste but I'll refrain myself instead and just leave you with a suggestion instead. The Witch. Don't know you if you've seen it, but it seems to gather to your taste.

It's not elitist. It's just so many horror films last few years have the same tropes. Rely too much on jump scares instead of building a atmosphere of dread and physiologically messing with the audience.
