‘IT’ Gets the “Honest Trailers” Treatment
“Starring the kid from Stranger Things… in glasses.”
If you’re asking me, Andy Muschietti’s IT was not only the best horror film of 2017, but it’s also one of the best horror films ever made. It’s (no pun intended) got everything you could ask for from a horror movie, giving the proper justice to an epic Stephen King story that deserved better than the 1990 adaptation – as much as we all may love it!
Personally speaking, I have nothing bad to say about IT, but the guys over on Screen Junkies offer up some amusing critiques in their just-released Honest Trailers video.
The “Honest Trailer” for IT calls out the lack of character development for Mike and Stanley, as well as the relative monotony of the scares; but even Screen Junkies admits in the end that Muschietti made a damn fine film. They call it “an enjoyable movie adaptation of a popular TV adaptation of a creepy book… that managed to out-creep Tim Curry and wisely punted the boring adult stuff that no one remembers to the sequel.”
Enjoy!
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and the brand new Lionsgate sequel has received its MPA rating this week.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
