Based on Stephen King's hugely popular novel IT - which has been terrifying readers for decades - director Andy Muschietti's adaptation became one of 2017's breakout hits, to ultimately emerge as the highest-grossing horror film of all time. We thought the time was right to revisit this modern classic as part of our ongoing #MonsterMonday series on July 18.

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.Seven young outcasts in Derry, Maine, are about to face their worst nightmare -- an ancient, shape-shifting evil that emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together over the course of one horrifying summer, the friends must overcome their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise. With Bill Skarsgård, Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Lieberher, Sopia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs.

"More successful as a coming-of-age movie than a horror, It still ranks among the better Stephen King adaptations — no small praise indeed." (Empire)
"It is [a] study in trauma to match the best of them." (The New Republic)

"I'm writing this not so much as a critic but as an ordinary moviegoer, experiencing Proustian transport via an old-fashioned scary movie executed by a team of filmmakers and actors at the top of their game." (Salon.com)
