After the last Ghostbusters movie no one asked for (which I enjoy well enough—it has the same problems almost every Paul Feig movie has), the internet threw such a hissy fit that girls got to wear the iconic jumpsuits and wield proton packs that it was only a matter of time until we got another one. And there’s now a trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Watch it if you want.
After years of best laid plans, multiple filmmakers, and an
endless stream of herky jerk starts and stops, a big-screen adaptation of
Stephen King’s horror novel, It, finally arrives in
theaters. Maybe the best-loved book by one of the world’s best-loved authors,
fans have been on edge about this—King adaptations haven’t always been…good.
But It stands at or at least near the top of heap in terms
of quality. Eerie, atmospheric, and true to the book in the best ways, despite
large-scale changers, It should satisfy both extant fans and
horror enthusiasts alike.
Cards on the table, I’ve never read Stephen King’s
It. I know, I know, it’s a classic, feel free to chastise
me. I’m adequately ashamed, to the point where I just ordered a used copy
online. Happy now? That said, damn this first trailer for Andres Muschietti’s
(Mama) adaptation is creepy AF.
