'I wanted it to be as close to the spirit of the book as possible,' he says. The entire film, not unlike the book, is chalked full of terrifying moments. Though Georgie's death is certainly the most horrifying moment of the big screen iteration, it isn't the only moment that may send audiences screaming. 'If it wasn't for that scene, you wouldn't have the tension that you have when Pennywise isn't present.' 'It's the scariest part because it's the most graphic - very intense and macabre, if you will,' the Argentinian director says. And it's clear that in 2017's It, anything goes. Seeing a child die on screen is never an easy pill to swallow, but the utter lack of censorship in Georgie's death immediately sets the sinister tone of the film. But because his body isn't found, it prompts big brother Bill to go looking for him. But in the 2017 iteration, Georgie attempts to crawl away, but is dragged into the sewer by Pennywise, never to be seen again.

In some versions, Georgie bleeds to death by the sewer. He taunts Georgie to take it back from him, and when he finally tries, Pennywise reaches out and rips Georgie's arm off. But when Georgie's boat falls into the sewer, Pennywise, the killer clown living in the sewer, catches it. Georgie's big brother Bill is sick with the flu, so, to keep his little brother entertained, he builds him a paper boat to float down the watery sidewalk. For those unfamiliar with the scene from the 1,000-plus-page novel or the 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry, here's the premise: It's a stormy afternoon in Derry, Maine. Spoilers for the film and book will follow. You have to hit them hard so the monster is scary for the rest of the movie, even when he's not there.' 'You can't hold back on the intensity if you want to scare audiences. 'From a technical point of view, it's the introduction of the monster,' he says in a bungalow at the Beverly Hilton during the Los Angeles press day for the film. Georgie's death in the 2017 It remake is violent, graphic, and truly terrifying - and there's a very specific reason for this, according to the film's director, Andy Muschietti. But the scariest moment of them all is actually the film's first scene. From its creepy antagonist - a killer clown who drags his child victims into the sewer - to the bullies that populate the town of Derry, there are plenty of reasons to watch this movie through your fingers. The big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It may be the scariest movie mainstream audiences will see in 2017.
