It (1990)
Two parts seemed like two different movies (spoilers)
Stephen King's "It" is what makes an excellent horror movie. I think, though, that the two different parts were completely different. I think that part one was by far, the best. It was the serious, "spooky version" of "It". It pretty much consists of flashbacks of when the kids were little, and how the clown terrorized them. One of the most memorable ones to me was I believe Eddie's. The shower scene in which he takes a shower in P.E. class and they "attack" him. That was the part that scared me mostly. But overall, part one is the serious part. Now for part 2, I think part two is the comical version. This is where Pennywise seems to act very silly. My friend and I watched it over the phone when it was on the SciFi channel about a week ago and we were just rolling on the floor with laughter watching Pennywise's antics. I will admit, that some parts in part 2 were creepy, but the scariness in p2 doesn't compare to p1. Anyway, this is an excellent movie to watch if you like horror mixed with some comedy.
Strays (1991)
Not for catlovers
This movie has a very interesting plot. A family moves into a new home and are terrorized by cats. It just sounds like another "nature out of control" killer animal type movies. And it is, but with cats. Come on, CATS! You could probably name any animal and it would probably have a horror movie about it, but I think that cats is probably the absolute worst choice for an animal killer. Like another user said, Cujo can tear your leg off, Jaws can chew you to bits, and insects can bite and swarm, but cats weight about 10 lbs, and the only thing they can do is scratch and bite. Any other animal would have made this movie scarier, even mice. Of course, there are horror movies about them, and they are scary because, they can bite and swarm, but when cats have always been looked at as "cute and cuddly" pets, a movie like this doesn't seem as scary as all the others. It just looks stupid. If you are a catlover, stay away from this at all costs. I, myself, am a catlover, and after watching it, you just sorta get a weird feeling. The only good thing about this movie is the acting, which I think was pretty decent. The cast did good when pretending to be afraid of these cats. This movie has wasted all nine of it's lives.
