A year ago, if you had asked horror movie fans if they were excited for a reboot of Stephen King’s IT novel (and its famous ’90s TV miniseries adaptation), they probably would’ve answered in a resounding “no.” However, director Andy Muschietti (Mama) has unveiled two deeply disturbing and frightening trailers that have made fans believe; now, the IT movie remake is one of the most anticipated movies of the fall 2017 season.
The new IT trailer (which you can watch above) had the bigger task of expanding on the near-perfect (but shorter) teaser trailer with more story and character details – which left room for more opportunities to disappoint. As you can see below, though, viewers are taking notice of IT, and they are loving being terrified of what they see.

Here are the Internet Reactions To The New IT Trailer:
The Non-Believers

The Scaredy Cats
