Originally titled Stephen King's It, this two-part TV movie first aired on November 18 and 20, 1990. The story starts in Maine, where a small child is lured into the hands of what audiences everywhere can be assured is one mean clown. The 30-year struggle against an evil supernatural force that masquerades as a circus clown named Pennywise (Tim Curry) begins in 1960 and spans until 1990. Featured are a group of six young men and one young woman who call themselves "the lucky seven" and are the unfortunate targets of Pennywise from pre-adolescence into their mid-forties. The lucky seven emerge physically intact but emotionally scathed after their first battle with Pennywise -- who is a self-labeled "eater of worlds...and children." When Pennywise returns 30 years later, the seven are forced to remember their terrifying past and faced with the prospect of destroying him once and for all. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

I remember being soo scared by this movie when I was a kid, so I wanted to watch it again. I still enjoyed it and "It" is still as creepy as ever! Now I want to re-read the book!

This movie is definitely outdated when it comes to special effects, but the movie itself was good. It is about what you would expect from a TV movie. The acting was spotty at times, but overall it was a creepy, thrilling adventure.
