Trivia
Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie) was the first one out of all the kids to work with Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise). During their scene, Grazer would cry and gag while Skarsgård was right in his face yelling and drooling. Skarsgård was genuinely concerned for Grazer and after the scene ended, asked him if he was okay. Grazer looked right at him and said, "Love what you're doing with the character!" Skarsgård was left confused and impressed at Grazer's attitude, calling the child actors "little professionals."

Goofs
Derry, Maine is in the USA, however, a war memorial contains the line "For king and country", revealing the filming location in Canada.

Quotes
Richie Tozier: I hear the list is longer than my wang.
Stanley Uris: That's not saying much.

Crazy credits
The film title "It" appears at the start as the camera zooms out of a Derry sewer tunnel.

The title appears again in the closing credits with "Chapter One" added to it.

Featured review

A relentlessly creepy and unsettling ride.

While it could have used more subtlety in the scare moments, the movie delivers surprising and effectively bizarre set pieces to keep you engaged. The likable and endearing losers group make the film worth watching again long after the fright has worn off. It manages to go from terrifying to hilarious, with Richie smashing it as the comedian of the group. It also touches on deeper themes of the bonds of friendship, the traumas that take our innocence away and the courage we need to face our fears. You won't only be scared, you'll be moved and inspired. Though your opinions on clowns might take a hit.
