Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It disguises itself as many frightening things in the movie.
  • Pennywise can morph his mouth into a giant gaping mouth with layers of sharp teeth which he uses it mangle and eat his victims. This is all done with CGI.
  • The finale is intense and involves scary imagery and loud noises
  • Two children are killed by Pennywise onscreen. They are very disturbing to watch, but not really all that graphic and you don't see much of the impact.
  • EPILEPSY WARNING: This film has several scenes that use severe strobe light effects. The most intense ones happen in a pharmacy basement, in a house of mirrors, and interwoven through about half of the climax of the movie, which lasts roughly half an hour.
  • The first scene is extremely disturbing.
  • In the beginning of the film, Beverly is seen floating with white eyes and looked like she was getting possessed by a ghost. This may scare young kids
  • Beverly is shown to have a sexually abusive relationship with her husband. He doesnt trust her when she says Mike is just a friend and hits her multiple times with a belt and she then hits him on the head with a blunt object. As she runs out the door, he screams "youre nothing without me!"
  • The opening scene is extremely upsetting. It isn't as scary as it is disturbing and depressing.
  • Many many jumpscares. They are usually very predictable though and not that scary, unlike in the first one.
  • There is a scene later on that is super claustrophobic and intense
  • There is a suicide scene early in the film. It's very sudden and unexpected, and it's a sad and heavy scene. It's only shown for a few moments, but may be very upsetting for viewers sensitive to this topic.
  • Riche threw up on a balcony. This could disturb viewers.

Sex & Nudity

  • We see a zombie-like form of the late Patrick Hockstetter present Henry Bowers with a switchblade. This form also assists Henry in escaping from the psychiatric institute he has been in for 27 years.
  • A child is trapped behind glass panes in a Funhouse. Pennywise violently bashes his forehead against a pane repeatedly to get to the child. As the glass cracks, Pennywise smiles to reveal his razor sharp teeth. One of the Losers is on the other side of the child, desperately trying and failing to break through the glass before Pennywise. Pennywise eventually breaks through the glass and bites the child's head. Although the contact is offscreen, blood splurts onto the glass.
  • A gay couple is attacked and brutally beaten. Bones in one of the victim's bloodied face are heard cracking as he gets repeatedly punched and kicked whilst helpless on the ground. The same man is thrown over the bridge in an attempt to kill him. The man soon after falls victim to It when a large chunk of his upper body is bitten off; The creature is seen with the chunk in its mouth for some seconds before disappearing.
  • Eddie is stabbed through the chest by one of It's spindly legs. He later dies from his injuries and is left in the cavern whilst the rest of the Losers escape.
  • The Hobo/Leper from the first movie attacks adult Eddie and throws up in his face while a song plays. It's played as dark humour.
  • Multiple onscreen deaths including children getting their heads bitten into by It's mouth. These sometimes result in blood splatters. That said, these are not really graphic.
  • One form Pennywise takes is young Beverly, with her hair on fire and skin gradually decaying.
  • Henry Bowers is killed when Richie throws an axe into the back of his head. The impact is offscreen but you see the results when he collapses to the ground.

  • Eddie stabs Henry through a shower curtain. The impact of the blade going in isn't shown and the blade is covered by the curtain. Henry is seen shortly after pulling the blade out though this part is very brief.
  • Multiple bodies of dead children are seen emerging from a body of water. They are incredibly mutilated with various limbs scattered around the water. A bit graphic

  • Right before Beverly leaves her old home. Pennywise appears to her in human form. He paints white paint on his face and then cuts his face with his finger nails making blood pour down his face.
  • Stan slits his wrists offscreen. We see the aftermath

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Mike takes a fictitious hallucinogenic substance, called Maturin Root, given to him by the Shokopiwah tribe to allow him to see It's origins. He later spikes Bill it.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Early on in the film, a hate crime takes place. Two gay men are verbally then physically attacked by a group of homophobic bullies. One of them is beaten and is then thrown off a bridge into a river. It pulls the man out of the water, then bites a chunk out of the man's upper torso whilst the man's boyfriend watches in terror. Both It and the victim are obscured by balloons, then mysteriously disappear.
  • The final sequence involves Pennywise changing into a large spider-like creature and chasing the members of the Losers Club through an underground cavern. This could be distressing for anyone with claustrophobia or arachnophobia.
  • In one scene, 2 characters go through 2 doors. In one door, a body from the torso down is running at them with blood spurting out of his torso. In the other door is at first a cute dog for a few seconds but then turns into a monster like dog which might scare some viewers (the jump-scare is unexpected)
  • Eddie's death can be quite distressing, especially with everyone's reaction to it.
  • Near the end of the film, Pennywise takes the form of Stanley's corpse. He is folded up inside of a refrigerator, and when the losers his find him, his head roles off. It then sprouts spider legs and begins crawling around like an insect. It is a very unsettling creature that may by frightful to children.
  • In order to defeat It, the Losers bully it until it physically and mentally regresses into an infant. Mike proceeds to rip out the creature's heart and crush it. Though It may be the antagonist, this may still be a bit disturbing and saddening, considering that violence is being inflicted upon a baby creature.
  • There's a scene with the Losers' Club in a chinese restaurant where when opening fortune cookies, they spell out "Guess Stanley Couldn't Cut It". After this happens, the fortune cookies being to pop open, revealing hideous monsters such as a baby head on a fly, a bat wing, and a crawling eye. In the aqaurium tank, there is a bloody, floating head shown inside. What can make this fact creepier is they're the only ones that can see it.
  • Stanley commits suicide. You see blood dripping from his fingers when it happens and red water. Then later, after the mess with the fortune cookies, you see his body again from farther away. Both times you cant see much but you still get whats going on
  • In a scene at the end, Ben is stuck inside what used to be his old underground clubhouse. When it fills with sand, Pennywise locks him in the small and confined space. This can be triggering for people who have claustrophobia. The scene does end after a few minutes; however it is not assumed that the scene will end and can be triggering for some people.
  • There is a very tense and scary scene where a child is trapped in a hall of mirrors in a Funhouse and Pennywise eats him. A very bloody,but quick scene.
