Don't say it's a Stephen King novel

I don't know how many people have seen the original book and the 90th version of the movie. Loving Stephen King starts with this story. So the new version of the movie was a disappointment from 1, let alone 2. A story is shot in two parts, which itself is a kind of separation. Of course, the special effects in 1990 can't be compared with today's, but the grasp of the characters and the overall style of painting are more in line with and respect the original work. The camaraderie of the children, the weirdness of Derry Town, and the stammering Bill's deep remorse for his brother George's death. If "Joker Returns" is just a horror film in a pure sense, it is true that there are as many horror elements as it should have, but if "Joker Returns" is a Stephen King novel, sorry, I don't buy it. . . . .

    3.5, it's a little guilty to hit four stars. The foreshadowing is too long, the memories and demons of each character are trying to be presented in all aspects, and the rhythm control is not smooth (I doubt that this kind of redundant narrative and the "pull" in some settings that follow may be the novel itself existing problems). The visual effect of the horror paragraph is very good, and several "strange" style monsters are quite eye-catching. Unfortunately, these frights always end in "false alarms", and the repeated times make people feel weak. The emotional grasp of friendship and growth is still in place, but the innocence and fun of the first 80's youth group horror film is still less effective when it falls on adults. But even so, the film is enough to crush most of this year's popular horror films.

    Lengthy, cutting 40-60 minutes is totally fine, no need for flashbacks from childhood. The film still relies on the jump scare's set of scaring methods, relying on special effects to add points, and the various deformations of the clown are all gimmicky and useless. The most innovative fright in this piece is the suddenness (incarnation of the old lady and the little girl in the dark) after being frozen for a few seconds, and nothing else can be remembered.
