I wasn’t sold in the beginning, but I can now say that Welcome to Derry is what the It movies should have been. I’ve always said that it’s so hard to properly translate Stephen King writing onto the screen, most times it just comes across as silly when you’re watching it, whereas the same scenes in the book are twisted, grotesque, visceral, terrifying.
I do realize this series isn’t even directly based on a book, (instead being more of a prequel to one), but it still is able to portray that actual Stephen King horror feel that SO many others have failed at.
