Genre research: it 2
It 2 is a sequel about the evil clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to terrorize the town of Derry, Maine, once again. Now adults, the childhood friends have long since gone their separate ways. But when people start disappearing, they band together to defeat the evil clown. The basic camera angles very unique because of the crazy things that happen in the background like the scene where beaverly was in a over the shoulder angle looking at the photo and the old lady was abnormally walking in the background to another part of the house. This is one of the reasons why this movie so great. Pennywise's costume was so fit for a clown which made it so scary because you wouldn't expect your everyday clown murdering you. Due to the innovation of lighting in the cinema, the lighting was high key for most of the movies until the main characters meet pennywise. At that point, it get really dark in contrast to his bright sinister yellow eyes. The acting in this movie was top notch due to the well known actors that give the movie great emotion and dialogue. The make up of some the creatures in the movie are borderline horrific. Pennywise's white baby looking face is a direct contrast to his caracter. His eyes dont really count as makeup because the actor can do that on his own. The red stripes across his face and the red nose symbolizes how pennywise is trying to patray itself as a clown. The main props of this movie are the objects the losers club try to retrieve to perform a ritual to seal pennywise away. The setting is a small town called dairy which baffles me how they could just get out of dairy and they dont have to deal with the clown but plot brings them to the hell hole they call dairy. The sounds of the movie are really eary music and scary piano music. This makes the movie scarier with its diegenic sound. Elements in the movie are jump scares, dismemberment, gore, good camera angles, and dialogue. I like all the elements in this movie and might be my top 5 best movies of all time because it's not just a horror movie, it also has meaning behind it and it's well developed characters.
