Review: hile little more than a slightly interactive trailer for the new ‘IT’ film by Andrés Muschietti it is still so scary it will make you cry like a little child. With 3 doors to choose from (there is a choice of 2 doors at the start of the experience that seem to lead to the same experience), they are ‘Not so Scary’, ‘Scary’ and ‘Very Scary’, to be fair each one has enough jump scares to make you destroy your underpants, but the scarier door you choose the more there is. With some great use of sound, a pathetic torch to shine a light on the walls and lure you into a false sense of safety and even a showing of Pennywise himself this is a great little experience for those who intend to watch the film. But if you don’t like the look of the film and just want a few good jumpscares there are far better, longer, free apps out there.
