New IT movie

It, it is probably the most talked about horror movie at this point of the year. I still have not seen the new one, but i have seen the first one from the 90's. I am really looking forward to watching the movie, i really enjoyed the original one. I hope it meets my expectations of a horror movie, and since remakes usually do not have the best reputations i do not expect much. Despite having a co worker tell me it was not good, i still want to watch it! I just need to find someone to come watch it with me, sadly my girlfriend does not like horror movies (one of our many differences). I know it wont hold true to the original movie, but i hope it holds on to the main concepts of the main movie. For example, I know in the original movie IT is an alien. yes, IT is a alien clown from outer space. Then to be honest the first movie kind of bothered me a bit. The scene when the little boy gets taken by IT kind of hit home for me because i could not imagine the fear and pain i would feel if i lost a little brother. Right away that scene brought my three year old baby brother to mind and i just can not imagine losing him, since me and him are very close. one of my initial thought s from watching the trailer was that the scenes do not really capture the creepiness of IT. To some he might seem like the creepiest thing they have ever seen, but i really like to get scared in horror movies, and unfortunately the trailer did not really creep me out. Despite some of the cons i really look forward to watching the movie sometime in the future, hopefully i can get a good scare out of it.
