# The guy who plays Dick is superfly
The woman who plays Wendy is smoking hot
The guy who plays Jack..is
boink

I think the original is still the creepier..but it’s a bloody good version of it

# Wendy's hot in the book, and Melvin Van Peebles as Dick is spot on!
I'm with King in that I don't fully understand why people are frightened by the movie, and I'm glad he made the miniseries.
Especially as it had the spooky topiary animals instead of a boring hedge maze.

There's a scene toward the end where Jack is trying to wrench back control from the hotel to save Danny, and Weber's performance as he keeps vacillating is a really great bit of acting.

Incidentally, Steven Weber also read the audiobook version of "It" and that's pretty good, too.

# I need to rewatch the remake again at some point
wouldn’t say the film version was a horror story or scary movie. more like a thriller based in a haunted hotel but it is chock full of wtf moments and creepy as fuck :)

# I read the book first
but loved the film precisely because it's clearly Kubrick's.

Like a good cover version.

Got to be honest, from the clips I saw of the TV version it looked a bit... cheap. But then TV productions probably had a fraction of the budget of these days' HBO type stuff
