❌
It! (1967)
Directed by Herbert J. Leder
Quick Hit
It! has a clean hook and a premise stronger than the execution, which keeps it well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.
Full Take
There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
