Defeated by members of the Losers' Club, 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, Mike Hanlon calls the others home for one final stand. Damaged by scars from the past, the united Losers must conquer their deepest fears to destroy the shape-shifting Pennywise -- now more powerful than ever.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It: Chapter Two proves bigger doesn't always mean scarier for horror sequels, but a fine cast and faithful approach to the source material keep this follow-up afloat.

Trimming the adults' often soppy individual narratives to focus on their more interesting dynamic as a group might have mitigated some of the numbness that sets in from predictability. Go to Full Review

There's a grandness to its scale and production values that still makes It Chapter Two an enjoyable romp, but it's not the ghoulish scarefest it could be. Go to Full Review

Not unlike the town in which it's set, Muschietti's It only sees what it wants to. Go to Full Review

IT Chapter Two doesn’t lose what makes this horror unique. Childhood fears are brought to life in the most terrifying of manners, and the dual casts do a fantastic job. However, the film is on the lengthy side. Go to Full Review
Lexi Amoriello Movie Recs by Lex Jul 10, 2026
With a strong cast and source material, the movie undoubtedly feels like wasted potential. Nonetheless, it’s not a complete disaster. It’s shockingly engaging despite its bloated runtime. It also makes for a rather satisfying conclusion. Go to Full Review

8/10
If you are a horror fan, this is one of the biggest titles there is, period. It’s not only big, it’s good. The scares are real, the story is compelling, and there are plenty of laughs. Go to Full Review
