It!,Curse Of The Golem or whatever title you might have heard it by, is an obscure but unique and very entertaining film. The idea of making a horror flick with The Golem as the 'monster' on it's own is a pretty original concept. On top of that, the way it plays out ultimately concluding with an atomic bomb being utilized isn't something you normally see either. While I might praise much of this film for its originality, the part of Pimm and his mother's cadaver is completely contrived from Psycho. It feels so rehashed that it distracts from the overall viewing.
The film stars Roddy McDowell,who while being a fairly talented actor isn't well suited to too many roles. However,his odd personality is just right for this one. The rest of the cast is made up of decent unknowns but this isn't the sort of picture you watch for great performances.
It! is an imaginative,amusing and even perhaps slightly creepy film that will leave you wondering why it is so unsung.
