We are adults, numbed by everything that has already been done. Very rarely (if ever) is a movie going to "scare" adults anymore...
I'm pretty sure this movie was "scary" for kids though. When I saw the original mini series on TV, it scared the shit out of me as my parents probably laughed through it. Tim Curry's version was pretty damn funny and playful. The new Pennywise is evil.
I've seen some people on facebook (land of idiots) say "It wasn't scary... the movie sucked."
-lol
