IT Welcome To Derry Review: Some shows play with the mind and get printed in your subconscious in such a way that no matter how much you try to remove them, they do not come out. Horror fans are always on the lookout to get their hands on a strong web series and finally end the ongoing drought. There is less expectation from Bollywood in this matter, yet when series like ‘Khauff’ and ‘Adhura’ come, there is a bit of relief. However, this supply continues to be fulfilled from Hollywood.
Shows like ‘Haunting of the Hill House’, ‘From’ and ‘Archive 81’ make you realize how much there is to explore even in horror, you just need to do it. I like horror a lot. Horror shows have a different craze and on top of that, if you come to know that a series is coming which is a prequel to a film which gave a new identity to horror, then watching that show is a must. Today we will also talk about one such horror series.
Why does Pennywise sleep for 27 years?
If you are crazy about films and series like me, then by now you must have understood which series we are talking about. This show will be streamed on Jio Hotstar and HBO. ,It: Welcome to Derry’There was something about this show that made one want to watch it, A clown who lives in the gutter and eats the flesh of children, He sleeps for 27 years and comes back again, When I came to know that this show will tell everything about this Joker, I also opened Hotstar and started the eight episode series It: Welcome to Derry,
As the name suggests, the story is about dairy. But this is not the dairy you heard about in 2017. This dairy is different, this dairy is from 27 years before the 2017 film ‘It’, very few people know about Pennywise living in it. The goal of this series was to tell us what Pennywise is. Why did he become a clown and why did he adopt this getup? Why does he target only children and does no one in the dairy know anything? But the show delivered much more than that.
all kinds of horror
For those who have read Pennywise or It novels or Stephen King’s novels, this show is no less than a treat. Each episode takes you through the dangerous incidents described in Stephen King’s books, and sets up a strange atmosphere around you. This show does not just focus on supernatural horror. Here you can see body, psychological, creature and slasher horror in every single series.
The acting of the main characters of this show is so brilliant that some scenes make you think whether it is really acting or whether it will actually come out of the screen and reach your bedroom. This series of HBO introduces some new characters to you. Like every time, this time also a child has gone missing, but here Penny Wise did not make him disappear, instead a family gives lift to this child while walking on a deserted road, where two children are a pregnant woman and a man. This scene is the earliest scene of the trailer but the way it is thrown in your face, you are not able to even blink an eye.
Not like ‘Stranger Things’ but…
This prequel of IT gradually takes its shape. Because of what will be shown to you in the very first episode, you will start feeling scared of unknown cars, lunchboxes, bathtubs, pipes, theatres, planes, pickle bottles and sewers. Ever since the pilot episode of the show came out, it was being compared to Stranger Things. After watching the series finale, it can be said that although not like ‘Stranger Things’, this show has definitely set a different league of its own. There will be two more seasons of the show. There are several Easter eggs in the show’s finale episode, which connect you to The Mist, The Shining, and the rest of the films in the It universe. In such a situation, this show is a perfect binge watch for your weekend.
Yes, a warning… there is a lot of bloodshed and killing in the show, so proceed wisely. You can enjoy the rest of the series on HBO and Jio Hotstar.
