IT Horror Movie Boat Scene Showdown: 1990 vs. 2017 🚤

"Let’s compare the boat scene from It—1990 vs. 2017, scene by scene."

"First, in the 1990 version, Tim Curry’s Pennywise greets Georgie with a calm, eerie smile, keeping the tension low but unsettling."

"Now, in the 2017 version, Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise greets Georgie with a creepy, childlike voice, but the horror feels more immediate."

"In 1990, the balloon floats up, and the scene maintains a subtle dread with its slower pacing."

"By contrast, the 2017 version ramps up the suspense, with sharper visuals and a darker tone."

"Finally, when Pennywise attacks, the 1990 version keeps the horror off-screen, leaving much to the imagination."

"In 2017, the attack is far more graphic and intense, showing Pennywise’s terrifying power up close."

"Both versions have their strengths. Which do you think nailed the horror better—1990 or 2017?"
