I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2021 documentary "Pennywise: The Story of It" here in 2024. And needless to say that I did so in a heartbeat. I needed absolutely no persuasion to sit down and watch this, as the 1990 movie "IT" is a horror classic, and a mini-series that I still love very much.
If you enjoyed the 1990 version of "IT", then you most certainly have to sit down and watch this 2021 documentary. The documentary is just a treasure trove of insight into the mini-series, the characters, the design, the actors and actresses, etc. There is just an abundance of enjoyable information being shared throughout the 126 minutes that the documentary runs for.
"Pennywise: The Story of It" has a lot of good interviews with members of the cast, people having worked on the movie in one way or the other, and everything in between. And they definitely offer some great insights into their individual and collective experience of working on the classic "IT" mini-series.
This is a MUST for fans of the mini-series, no doubt about it. And it certainly is a documentary that I warmly recommend you to sit down and watch.
My rating of "Pennywise: The Story of It" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
