I far preferred the 1990 mini-series to this cinematic remake of the Stephen King book. The film emerges as a lesser copy of the recent hit of Stranger Things, which did the whole 80s nostalgia/horror story far better, leaving this as just clumsy jumpshocks

Audiences and critics alike hated the first Annabelle – I went into this prequel with little enthusiasm but ended up pleasantly surprised. All it takes is a change of director to David F. Sandberg who provides a series of genuinely eerie jumps

Another spinoff from The Conjuring films. James Wan is one of the finest horror directors of the 2010s but has had difficulty imparting his skills to the directors of the films he has produced. This feels like a fairground haunted house show of tedious and repetitive pop-up shocks that runs free of any connection to a plot

I had mixed feelings about the first part Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's novel and far preferred the 1990 tv mini-series. The good news is that the second part here is a better film, although it too eventually gets buried in over an hour's worth of Muschietti's parade of jumpshocks
