Twenty-seven years after the events of It, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (Bill Skarsgård) crawls back out of Derry, Maine’s sewers and into the lives of the Losers Club (who are now all grown up, and played by the likes of James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader). It: Chapter 2 is the terrifying and poignant closing half of director Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 opus. Flip-flopping between its main characters’ adult present and adolescent past to detail their arduous process of coping with trauma, it’s a film that, at 169 minutes, is as mammoth as its source material, even as it exhibits the same nightmare-fueled sense of purpose as its 2017 predecessor.
