Synopsis:
Originally titled Stephen King's 'It', this two-part TV movie first aired on November 18 and 20, 1990. Set in Maine (where else?), this is the story of a thirty-year struggle against supernatural evil. We follow a group of young men who calling themselves "the lucky seven" from 1960 to 1990. The Seven emerge triumphant from their first encounter with Pennywise (Tim Curry), a clown-suited horror who calls himself "the eater of worlds...and of children". But comes 1990, and Pennywise is back in circulation. Like so many Stephen King TV adaptations, It starts like a house afire, sags in the middle, and must scurry around to tie up loose ends in its last 45 minutes or so. --Hal Erickson,
