1) My immediate reaction was “wow, this is odd!” and also “what a surprise that it's a young woman running about in skimpy clothing.” That reaction didn't really change much. Still odd by the end of the film, and we'd got a lot of footage of young women in skimpy clothing. I suppose the change was that I was thinking, “why no young men running about in skimpy clothing? Pls?”

I would have dressed in something a bit more practical one I knew what was going on TBH.

2) My favourite character was Jay – she kept her head admirably, considering, and also Gus, who was very brave. So was Paul, but he was a Nice Guy too.

3) Favourite scene was the wheelchair scene. That was really scary. It was so bizarre. What was he going to do to her? Was he a complete psycho? As it turns out, not the case, but at that point I had no clue what was going to happen next.

Least favourite was the scene in which they decide to go for the swimming pool. Yes, a great idea, but how did they know that chlorine + electricity was going to work? I may have missed something in the run-up to that point.

4) The soundtrack was wonderful– just slightly off perfectly normal.

5) Cinematography – well, I know nothing of such matters, but it worked for me!

The discord between past and future was unsettling, but perhaps it was meant to be. Cool reading device, but why didn't they have mobile phones? And why did the school give out names? That had a 70's vibe.
And finally, it's an interesting case of “showing the monster doesn't make it any less frightening.” I'd like to have more explanation of it got started, though, and how Hugh knew so much about it.

Not something that I would have watched without the movie club so thanks to the anons who voted for it!

We had the same favorite scene! I loved how the camera kept switching from in front of Jay to facing whatever she was looking at. It really built up the tension.

To be honest, I don't know WHY they thought that would be a good idea. Maybe they thought the monster could no swim?

I don't know anything about cinematography either, I should look up some videos on basic cinematography analysis.

Yeah, the movie was a weird combo of like the 80s and 00s. There was one cellphone in the whole movie (the one the opening girl used to call her dad) but everything else was very 80s.

It does seem odd that Hugh knows so much considering he said he barely remembers who gave It to him. Then again, Hugh lied a lot.

Oh, I missed that first cellphone! Lack of them makes plotting so much easier, I must admit, but then why have just the one, and the reader? V. odd. But perhaps it was all part of the unsettling feeling they were going for.

Then again, Hugh lied a lot

He surely did.

I wasn't sure about the swimming pool thing either. Like it must surely must be able to swim/traverse water in some way otherwise moving to another continent would be an instant fix?

Very true, and didn't it deal with the louts in the motor-boat at the lake? I definitely got the feeling that Jay had sex with them, and then they all got killed. I suppose it could have waited until they came ashore.

But that's a lot of deaths with no hue and cry.
