It

09:31:00

When we are children it's enough to listen to a scary story to make us wet our beds, sleep with our parents or avoid basements, attics, and cemeteries for years. When we are adults we either try to overcome our phobias or try to hide them, feeling ashamed of our weaknesses in the reasonable world of work and family life. But the game of fear is not over once you grow up. Life is packed with many unfortunate events, tragedies and losses. Your imagination allows you to protect yourself, avoiding the worst possible scenarios, but these are always by your side, crawling under your bed, hiding behind the window, lurking from a badly developed photograph, giving you creeps. What is it that you are afraid of? Spiders? Ghosts? Mummies? Dead bodies? Maybe you fear that your family will abandon you or you'll be killed in the worst possible tragic circumstances. The greatest way to defeat your fear is to rationalize it, to make it as insignificant as possible. But what if you come across a creature who can turn into every possible hysterical being and feed on your fear? Is a smile of a seemingly friendly entertainment impersonation able to trigger a terrifying terror? Which of the child characters shares your own problems, family pathologies, and insecurities? A cult classic, which just like Pennywise comes every twenty-seven years to feed on us, the nation of neurotics, a Stephen King's trademark, It. Which It makes you afraid the most?

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
