My favourite Horror Movie

My favourite horror movie is IT1, it's my favourite horror movie because it's a movie with moments of fear and at the same time very funny moments. I love this movie too because I love the relationship that all the characters have among them.

Jaeden Lieberther as Bill Denbrough: the leader of the group of kids known as the Losers Club, who vows to get revenge on the monster with the help of his friends.

Bill Skarsgard as It/ Pennywise The dancing Clown/ Bob Gray: an ancient, trans-dimensional evil that awakens every twenty-seven years.
Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom : a shy and overweight boy with a crush on Beverly, who relays the incidents of Derry 's past to his friends.
Sophia Lillis as Beverly Mash: a flame-haired tomboy who fends off an abusive father at home, while forming a strong bond with Ben.
Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier: the bespectacled best friend of Bill, whose loud mouth and foul language often get him into trouble.
Wyatt Oleff  as Stanley Uris: the pragmatic son of a rabbi, whose bar mitzvah studies are haunted by a ghoulish woman from a painting.
Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon : a sweet, softly-spoken black boy living on the outskirts of Derry on his Grandfather's farm.
Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kapbrak: a sickly boy who only feels truly well when he is with his friends.
Nicolas Hamlton as  Henry Bowers: a young sociopath who leads the Bowers Gang, and terrorizes the Losers' Club.
Jackson Robert Scott as Gerge Denbrough : the innocent, energetic 7-year-old brother of Bill Denbrough, whose death at the hands of Pennywise results in the next summer's events.

The story of this movie happens in the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.

In the movie It1 I have two favourite moments, the first in when the children get in the abandoned house and we fight whit It, the clown. The second moment is when all the friends find Beverly in the underground.
