'It' Has Just Landed On Netflix

While some of us aren't fans of clowns - never mind absolutely *terrifying* ones - Netflix has just added IT to its catalogue of movies.

The 2017 remake has been added to the streaming platform today, and despite our fears, we're are welcoming its arrival. After all, we'll need all the content we can get if we're about to go into social distancing.

The Stephen King adaptation is available to stream now. If you need a recap on the plot, the movie is set in 1989 in the town of Derry, Maine, where a string of murders and child disappearances have taken place.

When adorable six-year-old Georgie heads out one afternoon to play with his paper sailboat in the rain, he becomes distressed when it ends up down the side of the pavement and falling into the sewers beneath the road.

Running to retrieve it, Georgie is desperate to find the boat and while peering into the sewer, a pair of (absolutely terrifying) yellow eyes emerge.

It's Pennywise the clown (played by Bill Skarsgard) who - holding out the paper boat - tricks Georgie into reaching down into the depths of the sewer.

Poor Georgie is reluctant at first, but once he lowers his arm into the drain, the terrifying clown whips out those haunting teeth and rips off Georgie's arm, dragging him below.

Fast forward eight months and Georgie's grieving brother Bill, along with friends Richie Tozier (Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard), Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer), and Stanley Uris (Wyatt Oleff) - who have been nicknamed 'The Losers Club' - start 'seeing things' around the neighbourhood.

Bill finds it hard to accept that Georgie is gone and along with classmate Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis) the teens begin to realise that the majority of the group have all noticed strange happenings across the neighbourhood.

Soon, they realise they have all seen - and in some cases nearly been killed by - Pennywise the clown and decide to make it their mission to put an end to its haunting, murderous ways.

If you've not watched it, it's not to be missed (unless you're petrified of clowns, obv).
