IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Key Art | ©2025 HBO

Stephen King’s novel IT was originally published in 1986. It was first adapted as a television miniseries in 1990, then made into a two-film duology, 2017’s IT and 2019’s IT: CHAPTER TWO. Both films were directed by Andy Muschietti, with his sister Barbara Muschietti as one of the producers. IT is set in Derry, Maine, where a nameless, shapeshifting monster surfaces every twenty-seven years to prey on the town’s denizens, especially its children. All iterations of IT follow the seven preteens of their self-titled Losers Club who band together to defeat it. When they don’t entirely succeed, they return to […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Billy Bryk, Finn Wolfhard, Paradis Saremi, Rosebud Baker, Adam Pally, Matthew Finlan, Julia Doyle, Krista Nazaire, Julia Lalonde, Daniel Gravelle, Susan Coyne Writers: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Directors: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Distributor: Neon Release Date: April 4, 2025 Comparing HELL OF A SUMMER to SCREAM is a bit of a stretch. The characters in the new film aren’t fonts of horror movie lore. On the other hand, they are self-aware enough to mostly behave in a self-protective manner when danger threatens, and we eventually get some villain monologues. […]Read On »

Your guide to some of the new releases that are out this week. BLADE RUNNER 2049 So, I really liked this. I know that it was very mixed between people who thought it was too long or too convoluted or too preachy. But I thought I was as best of a follow up to a movie that is 35 years old as it is highly entertaining and expands upon the whole BLADE RUNNER universe. It also has concrete ties to the original film beyond just bringing back Harrison Ford as Dekker. While he plays a role that is extremely important […]Read On »

Set in the late ‘80s, the feature adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 novel is reminiscent of STRANGER THINGS, which had its first season on Netflix last year but is acknowledged to be inspired by […]Read On »
