I Saw ‘IT’ in 4DX, Which Was Like a Ride!

Published

on

I’ve learned of a new way to see movies that’s beyond 3-D. Back when The Dark Tower was released I saw it in one of Regal’s 4DX equipped theaters, and while it was unique it didn’t really work for the movie. With that said, I went to see New Line Cinema’s IT again this past weekend and thought it would be fun to experience the film in a new way. 4DX.

It was ridiculously cool, making it clear to me there are two genres that thrive with this technology – action and horror films. While a film like Fast & Furious will rumble your ass to life, seeing IT was like having someone standing behind your seat jolting you every single time there’s a scare. It took me back to the old Disney days when they had cool attractions like Honey I Shrunk the Audience. The 4DX experience worked so well with IT; they had integrated flashing strobe lights and blowing wind during storms; there were little pipettes under the seats that tickled the audience when Pennywise would appear out of a sewer; and they even had air blowers in the back of the seats that would spray you right in the face when blood was splattered!

Sure, it’s gimmicky, but it was also a helluva lot of fun and perfect for a date. If you plan on seeing it again this coming weekend, I highly recommend giving it a go. Check out locations here.

In Andy Muschiett’s film, “A group of young kids face their biggest fears when they seek answers to the disappearance of children in their hometown of Derry, Maine. They square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

Pennywise was played by Bill Skarsgard (read our interview) with the Losers’ Club including Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor.

Javier Botet plays The Leper, and Nicholas Hamilton plays Henry Bowers. The cast also includes Owen Teague, who plays bully Patrick Hocksetter.

‘Terrifier 3’ – Damien Leone Just Filmed “One of the Most Insanely Horrific Scenes” of the Franchise

Terrifier 2 commentary

Filming has been underway for the last several weeks on Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, the next installment in one of the most popular new horror franchises of the modern era.

Coming to theaters later this year from Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting, Terrifier 3 aims to raise the bar even further on the gruesome exploits of Art the Clown, and Leone has taken a little break from filming this morning to tease an insane sequence the team just got on camera.

Damien Leone tweets from the set of Terrifier 3, “Can honestly say we just filmed one of the most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise and you’ll never believe who couldn’t handle it on set 😬😂 🤮 the bts is hilarious. Can’t wait for you all to see!”

Considering 2022’s Terrifier 2 had people throwing up and fainting in theaters, well, it’s safe to say that nobody is prepared for the uncut brutality of this year’s sequel. Stay tuned for more.

Art the Clown is slashing his way through Christmas in the upcoming third installment, with David Howard Thornton back as Art and Lauren LaVera returning as adversary Sienna.

In Terrifier 3, “Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.”

Terrifier 3 will release in theaters nationwide on October 25, 2024, with Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting handling North American distribution, sold by The Coven, who also reps international rights on the film. Watch the first look teaser here.
