    If Twin Peaks is a midnight movie for prime-time, then Stephen King's It is the miniseries equivalent of those Saturday-matinee shockers that merrily warped a generation before Freddie and Jason began staking their more graphic turf...None of the big moments, especially the limp climax, are as nerve-wracking as the plentiful incidental spooks along the way. Accept It on its own popcorn-munching terms, and keep the lights on high. [16 Nov 1990, p.1D]

He's done so many good things such as this. Tim Curry's acting was awesome and so were the others. The scenes with Ben in the woods even brought out some tears from my eyes. This is pure gold. And the theme song's still stuck in my head.… Full Review »
