It: Chapter 2 - Teaser Review
The first teaser for It: Chapter 2 has arrived. Does it deliver?
Thoughts: Horror is a genre that I didn't get. A lot of unnecessary violence mixed in with some scares; how could that possibly equate into any enjoyment. Then I saw It. It was more than just a few jumpscares and cheap scares mixed with loud noises. It had a pulse, and it had a heart; yes it had horror, but it had a story and characters that were compelling; that's what made It so terrifying yet so enjoyable.
So, needless, to say, I was extremely excited for the second installment. And the second I began to watch the trailer, I knew that this was going to be something special.
Just the idea of using an extended scene instead of conventional trailer footage was brilliant. It set up the tone so extremely well, with Jessica Chastain getting to show off her acting and her character. And major kudos to the actress playing the old lady, who just had the creepiest vibes. There were also some nice callbacks to the Loser's Club from the first film, who will be returning for some flashbacks.
After the opening half, we do get the traditional montage of footage. We see some shots of Pennywise and the Loser's Club, now and then, as they go about trying to vanquish the clown once and for all.
The trailer didn't offer much outside of the one scene, but that one scene was enough to raise the blood pressure and get me pumped to see the film.
Did it Raise Excitement? If that one scene is any indication of the film, then ABSOLUTELY. This film could be another home run.
