Following up It: Chapter One was always gonna be a tricky
proposition. The most commercially-successful horror film of all time, a
retelling that blew most if not all nostalgia for the 1990 mini-series out of
the water, and just a brilliantly-constructed piece of cinema; how in the fuck
is this meant to measure up to all that? Well, while I would argue that it
doesn’t measure up in certain aspects, I would also argue that as a sequel, as
a continuation and conclusion to what came before, this got most of the
essential stuff damn near perfect.
