A brilliant and welcome companion documentary for any fans of the 1990 miniseries. As a huge fan of Unearthed & Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary, I was stoked to hear that John Campopiano was working on a documentary about the 1990 IT miniseries and that most of the remaining cast would be part of it. The interview clips were great with the cast often reminiscing on the behind-the-scenes hijinx that went on during filming. It's nice to know that the process of making the iconic miniseries was a pleasant experience. If you're a fan of Stephen King or this miniseries, this is a much-watch! Thanks to the creators for their years of hard work to make this documentary.

STAR RATING: ***** Brilliant **** Very Good *** Okay ** Poor * Awful In 1989, television writer Lawrence D. Cohen was commissioned to write the screenplay for an ambitious adaptation of Stephen King's mammoth, 1,000+ page 1986 epic novella, It, in the form of a two part TV mini series. A project grand in scale and constrained by the boundaries of TV network censorship, the wild excesses of King's novel would have to be curbed, as well as a great deal of the novel to condense it for the time constraints, but somehow Cohen pulled it off, and his project became one of the best loved shows of all time, with a lasting cultural impact that has endured to this day. If transferring a successful, well loved novel to the screen is a tricky enough endeavour, then getting a documentary about said screen adaptation out there is seemingly even tougher, as the producers of this affectionate account of the making and legacy of the 1990 small screen adaptation of Stephen King's epic novella can testify, with their efforts to crowd fund via the internet their pet project, appealing directly to fans of the film to donate to get the production rolling, that I can remember from around two years ago. And so the arrival of this film is in itself testament to how much the original film was loved. And even more so given what an in depth little number it is, stretching over the two hour mark, well over the length of most documentaries. The passion of the makers has clearly spread around, as most of the original cast of kids make contributions, including those who attained some Hollywood success, such as Seth Green, who played the irrepressible wise ass Richie Tozier, but each are as uniquely insightful as the other, and provide an illuminating insight into what went on behind the scenes. The original adult cast also give some eye opening accounts, and even some minor supporting players, as well, of course, as the wheelchair bound, stroke stricken Tim Curry, offering his reflections on his key role as Pennywise the Clown. We learn that other actors, including Harvey Fierstein, had been considered for the part, but that feels all the more unthinkable as he still manages to ooze the unnerving menace that he originally projected all those years ago in that role. For all its scope and ambition, it's low budget feel glaringly shines through, even if it's clear where most of the money went, and strangely, there's no mention of the box office smash 2017 and 2019 films, that brought the story to a new generation of horror aficionados. But the original TV film has left a lasting mark all of its own, and this ambitious, thoroughly panned out documentary, obviously made by people with a deep love of it, leaves you well aware of it. ****

With someone that's always had an interest in Stephen King's works, IT was always a story that intrigued me the most. This documentary covers everything from interviews with the original cast, Tim Curry's make-up tests and behind the scenes footage. It's a documentary well overdue and surprisingly it took 22 years to make. Highly recommended!!

If you are a fan of the original TV series IT, then you must watch this fascinating 2 hour insight, I'm not going to say anymore, just watch it. It contains a lot of information you may or might not know and it's great to see how the cast have aged over the years, or in some cases it barely seems like they have.

I've been waiting on this documentary for an age. I don't know why it took so long, but boy, it was worth the wait! I've seen many photos of behind the scenes but never any film so this was a treat. I much preferred the kids' stories in the first part (Tommy Lee Wallace) but I think that the second (Larry Cohen) suffered more for some reason even though in its day it was much easier to get away with adults being harmed. There's also a great section on John Ritter but not much of a mention of Harry Anderson but that's probably down to him sadly passing away a couple of years ago so around halfway through this production. All in all I'd highly recommend this to anyone who has an affinity to the 1990 mini-series. A great watch!
