Darkness rises
This might be the best adaptation of the book. Don't get me wrong the Tim Curry version is legandary and the remake was good but this version adds a couple more layers and gives the story more time to breathe. Bill is brilliant as the titular antagonist but he's equally matched by the young cast members, especially Cartaya and Lawler. The older cast as just as good, with a special mention to Chalk. I'm interested to see Muschietti will go with this further given the vast space that King used to create this and many of his classics.
