First Time Watching IT CHAPTER 2 Reaction... Scarier than the first?!

[@ericgallini3988]

"I didn't like the ending" was SO wonderfully meta and self-referential because King is constantly being criticized for his endings.

[@willdallas53]

Yea because king doesn’t think books should have endings. He thinks they should always be open ended. He said the only reason he writes endings in any of his books is because American readers demand it.

[@Dunybrook]

Ironic then that I actually prefered the ending of the book to the movie.

[@statbot7347]

The ending of the original TV movie was heavily criticised, I think that is what they were referencing.

[@jackmars931]

The best thing I can say about this ending is that, unlike the book, it didn't have an extended scene of children engaging in group sex.

[@dansnow1951]

​@@jackmars931right that was the only bad part and it was so off the wall out of nowhere!!!

[@qwaurk985]

"You watch a few horror movies and you see signs. I see signs." Up next, Kat watches Signs.

[@unciuncia420]

Does she see dead people too?

[@dontmakeabigdealoutofit]

YES PLEASE

[@victoriac4317]

I wish she would!

[@mast3rNate]

IN A CORNFIELD 😂

[@rickyressel9263]

I’m a die hard IT novel fan. I thought they did a commendable attempt adapting such complex material. I do wish they did a better job explain what IT is, the ritual of Chud, IT’s dead lights, and that the Losers all have “The Shine”. Which is King’s version of special powers. Like Danny Torrance and Abra Stone. Except the losers all have small amounts of it. Then when they band together they’re extremely powerful. Which is why they’re the only ones able to defeat IT. IT actually fears them. There’s a great inner monologue in the book where he feels fear for the first time in his existence after fighting them on the house on Neibolt St.

[@aaronbenson2767]

Kat is the most expressive and entertaining reactor there is. I think I’m going to start saying “I’m displeased” when I start getting freaked out too. 😅

[@samanthanickson6478]

eom reacts

[@Valyrenai]

"As a parent, if your kid gets up and walks away, aren't you gonna ask where they're going?" Not in Derry. The movies didn't touch on just how much influence Pennywise had on Derry and most of its residents. It's the same reason why the car rolls by Ben getting cut up in the first movie, Pennywise makes them look the other way. Also, Pennywise is and is not an alien. It is one based on the fact that It isn't from earth, but it's not exactly from space either. It comes from outside.

[@terrylindsay1984]

Isn’t it called something like the macroverse that IT is from? I think it's like a pocket universe in between universes or something. The dark tower series explains it better.

[@kristinaF54]

Funnily enough, The Outsider miniseries (2020) makes a far better sequel to IT Chapter 1, storywise, than what has yet been filmed for IT Part 2 (1990) and Chapter 2 (2019).

[@alejandropacheco7832]

Pennywise is a pan dimensional entity from the 5th dimension and it was trapped in Derry by a primordial turtle that existed before creation and it's one of the twelve guardians of the Dark Tower.... And Stephen King is a pedo creep!! 😂😂😂

[@jayrock2288]

I was coming to say this

[@sillycrystal4713]

“Derry is IT and IT is Derry.”

[@cboscari]

"Get him fired from a kid's birthday party?" is the funniest thing I've heard from someone watching this film. You have a gift for improvisational humor, Kat.

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

My heart breaks at the beginning of this movie because they overcame so much as kids, but the memory wipe basically made them relive their traumas, especially for Eddie and Beverly. He married his mother (literally) and she married an abuser like her dad.

[@wkanost]

I believe your “fear tolerance” has risen significantly Kat! That’s terrific, and don’t call me “Shirley.”

[@Dave_Dot_Executable]

It has, she is Right Hard these days, go watch her watch Exorcist and then watch her watch Terrifier.

[@chrisgould6069]

You should watch Doctor Sleep, it's the sequel to The Shining and the director to it is the same guy who directed your favorite horror show The haunting of Hill house Mike Flanagan.

[@beestingza]

Yeah that seems like one she'd really like. Also Ewan McGregor is always a good actor even if the story is lacking somewhat.

[@Jumpyman_thegamerYT]

11:42 Yeah, that point you made about the parents not noticing is down to Pennywise's power. It's essentially a scare/manipulation tactic that the entity uses. By making the parents/adults unaware of everything that Pennywise does, by IT using it's psychic ability, it essentially makes the kids feel isolated and alone. Because not even their own parents support them when their kids tell them that they saw something terrifying. This, in turn, makes them an even easier target, as they are more susceptible to being scared and horrified.

[@beestingza]

What is scarier is that there really are parents who are so tuned out they don't know their kids are in danger.

[@Jumpyman_thegamerYT]

@@beestingza Exactly, and that's one of the parts of the original novel which really hit hard with me, knowing that there are actually real life parents who are so disinterested in their kids life...

[@JaneDoe-b5v]

Attentive protective caring parents would stop child predation in its tracks. Sadly neglected children are prime targets and our world is full of selfish adults

[@beestingza]

@@JaneDoe-b5v These predators are everywhere. My mom took me to the pool with a college friend of hers who was gay and she let him take me in the men's changing room where he molested me. Sadly I think my mom is more clueless than most, but we have a culture which has normalized dropping your kids off with complete strangers all day. #DayCareIsEvil

[@Jay-wy3xu]

I laughed way harder than I should have at your 'fired from a kid's birthday party' line! 🤣

[@chrisn4315]

Kat always has at least one killer comment in each reaction imo, and it usually catches you off guard. Her "that's the _real_ horror of this movie" line notwithstanding...

[@Whitebrowpriest]

6:28 - I liked how they subtly touched on something very... how people often repeat history; for instance how Beverly ended up with an abusive boyfriend, when she grew up with an abusive father, and how Eddie ended up marrying an overbearing, overprotecting wife, just like his mother. And the funniest thing about it is that the got the same actress who played Eddie's mother in the first chapter to play his wife in the second. Too funny.

[@dansnow1951]

They touch on that in the book.

[@allen3982]

Someone needs to write a script for a movie starring Kat where she gets sucked into horror movie after horror movie and she has to save the hapless victims, like a Jumanji-like horror comedy

[@KatWatchesHorror]

UH I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@allen3982]

We can all see you chastising the characters for slow-turning

[@MoreJoy79]

The music drop when Richie is hit with the Dead Lights is so effective and terrifying. I love being scared out of my mind with you!! Much love ❤ P.S. Mandible is jaw. Maxilla is cheek.

[@pobstrel]

The actress who played Eddies wife also played his mother in IT chapter 1. However it's not the same actor playing the older Henry Bowers. Two different male actors.

[@florentindu21]

In the book King explain that IT came on earth way before there were life, before the dinosaurs and everything ! So, when the clown get disturb by a bunch of kids billions years after it really shakes him off haha

[@florentindu21]

Sorry for my English it's not my native language

[@Metal_is_the_Solution]

"NO PLEASE!" Kat

[@jackgammon1490]

Guys, im starting to think Kat doesnt hate horror movies. I think that she hates that she loves them.

[@brandonhunt1133]

IT is a great example of Cosmic Horror. The film The Color Out of Space with Nick Cage is good as well. It's slow burn as it's Lovecraft, however I feel that you may dig it.

[@Smokie_666]

The Color Out of Space was sooooo goood.

[@phousefilms]

The only reason I couldn't fully take it serious was...Nicolas Cage. So damn hammy.

[@kristinaF54]

I know King was hugely influenced by Lovecraft in his youth, but personally, I think 'The Mist' film adaption is his best Lovecraftian horror by far.

[@brandonhunt1133]

@@kristinaF54 You are NOT wrong.

[@pawtile9434]

I think they made all the characters look alike really well. But especially the nervous boy

[@BH-wh2vo]

It's important to remember that Lovecraft is a huge inspiration on Stephen King. It's less "sci-fi-" and more "cosmic horror".

[@jameshurley3776]

Totally agree 👍 It more closely resembles one of Lovecraft's outer gods than anything else

[@jameshurley3776]

I think IT chapter 1 is more frightening because the protagonists are children. A child in peril is always going to be scarier, for a variety of reasons. Loved the reaction Kat! As always 😂 keep them coming 🎉

[@kristinaF54]

Plus, it's far better written both in the novel, the 1990 miniseries adaptation and the Andy Muschietti's movie (second part sucks in all iterations and King has said he was "far too ambitious when he wrote it", that it was beyond his skill to make IT's second part not suck).

[@LordVolkov]

"Yippie kayay motherfu..." Richie getting deadlighted (deadlit?) in the middle of his most badass moment is hilarious 😅 Bill Hader is pretty great casting for adult Richie. I don't like that Eddie dies, but their subplot was really touching.

[@The-Underbaker]

"Don't show any fear", Kat says, as she screams and throws punches in the air!

[@Dave_Dot_Executable]

Yeah normally Kat would "win" these movies, but I think this is like the third one I've seen she'd lose at.

[@joshuapendleton6077]

Yeah Strangers and Orphan were tough on her.

[@chrisbanks6659]

We (subscribers) are a collective victim of gaslighting folks - Kat f*****g LOVES horror movies!!!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

That's not what gaslighting means. It means to try and trick someone into believing that they are insane when you know they aren't. Watch the movie "Gaslight."

[@celticmagick]

FYI: Stephen King has always been criticized about the endings of his books and how they always suck. That's the running joke in this movie with Billy. Also, Stephen King always plays a cameo in movies based on his books. I'm about to watch Kat watch Beverly's return home to get her artifact and I cannot wait to see it. Lol. Always love and enjoy Kat's reactions. I forgot you haven't seen It 2 until now.

[@smilingkevin]

Kat playing the weirdest version of Bop It ever at 41:50

[@editingwithcc]

I love how even though Eddie was attacked by Bowers, his comeback line will never not be hilarious 😂

[@MarleyReacts94]

Kat you really made us wait 8 months for part 2 lol 😂 still love you though ❤ best way to start Oct fest🎃🎃

[@beestingza]

McAvoy's accent came out very noticeably during the sewer scene with the kid.

[@Timelord007]

Kat your a wonderful lovely witty lady your reactions are comedy gold. Sending you big hugs from England.

[@sammylane21]

IT came out in 1990 mini series, this remake came out exactly 27yrs later in 2017, so I anticipate a re-re-make in 2044. Come on Hollywood, don't let me down. 😂🤣😂🤣

[@DharmaJannyter]

It's not a remake of the mini series though, but a different adaptation of the book.

[@thorstrebla980]

It's Hollywood, so they will also make 27 remakes by then.

[@stanzaloan3454]

It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up in prequel territory or a spinoff featuring one or two of the cast. Some movies are better off being left alone.

[@marvymarv959]

It’s up to you to re-re make it in 2044 Sammy. We are counting on you.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

I just snagged this out of my notifications; I haven't watched it yet obviously, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos, young lady. You're so much fun to watch a movie with! I think of you with horror films like me and roller coasters. I'd prefer to watch someone else do it. Love your channel!

[@beestingza]

You were right: mandible is the lower and maxilla is the upper. The muscle that is on the lower jaw where he was stabbed is called the masseter for mastication.

[@gingerninja3053]

I never leave comments, but since you asked.... You are correct! The mandible is "a place on your face." 😂 Your mandible is your lower jaw bone....the one that moves. While the maxilla is the upper jaw bone. You are fantastic, and I love your content!❤

[@DanielWeinreb-vc6et]

I love it when Kat calls out too much nerdiness.

[@LeviniaRuff]

Creepy wiggles,Kat makes giggles!😂

[@Neckromorph]

36:57 You're right Kat! The "mandible" is your jaw/jawbone! So even though Eddie was stabbed in the cheek, it's basically the mandible.

[@dansnow1951]

Which didn't even happen in the book. So much taken out and replaced by crap!!!

[@horrorandanime1990]

Vicky getting killed hit me the hardest in this movie. She was such a sweet kid, she didn’t deserve what happened!

[@egraham3000]

I've been waiting for this one and you did not disappoint, Kat!! I love this movie, I really do, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it as well! Are you aware that a TV prequel called Welcome to Derry comes out next year? On another note, please react to Terrifier 2 sometime, Terrifier 3 comes out this week in theaters!

[@beriliumsphere107]

IT is a todash demon from outside the barrier created by the Dark Tower to protect us all. He is one of the few who has slipped through like the Crimson King

[@duckprints7]

Such great entertainment, and an incredibly lovely person! Thanks for making fun content that helps us all smile and laugh.💙

[@jthomann71]

[@karrieorr1613]

I'm pretty sure you're the only reactor I've watched that wasn't fooled by Pennywise pretending to be Beverly with Ben in the classroom... Great job😏

[@Raptorrex65]

Pennywise is a interdimensional being and a servant of the crimson King, when he was coming to Earth he was hit by of all thing's a UFO causing them both to crash Pennywise in Derry and the UFO nearby in Haven who's people would later call them the Tommyknockers but that's a different book. Keep up the good vids!

[@BTurnbul]

Stumbled across this little gem of a KZbin channel purely by chance. These reaction vids are fun to watch (for us at least). I immediately thought about suggesting The Descent but found out you've watched it. Good times. Another one I could suggest watching is [rec], if you haven't watched it yet. On location in an abandoned apartment block 😀

[@polkadots2490]

Kat, i thought you said dont show any fear yet here you are punching the air🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@Pops6185]

[@Chris-td1iy]

Love the reactions Kat! 😂

[@lila10P]

I love Kat's reactions. She rapidly became one of my favorite reactors and I figured watching this reaction is a good way of seeing this. I never got around to watching It Part 2 because I really did not like the first part. It is one of my most favorite books of all time and the first Stephen King that I read (when I was 12, lol). The time changes didn't bother me, but a lot of other changes did, in particular the SA Beverly doesn't experience from her father in the book that she does in the movie. (Yes, there are hints her father may have gone down that path, but he never did in the novel). A lot has been made of "THAT SCENE" from the book but Beverly in the book has full control over her sexual decisions. Taking that away from her in the movie is way more fucked up than "THAT SCENE" when you really think about it. Beverly goes from full agency to being a SA victim for absolutely no reason. The physical abuse she suffers from her father are horrific enough without adding that kind of trauma to her as well. It feels exploitative and gross in a way that I have a hard time articulating. Sorry, this has seriously bothered me since I watched the first part when it came out. I love your reactions, Kat, and always look forward to the next one!

[@PierceArner]

It's SO good getting to see you check out this second part & having fun recognizing Stephen King. Here's to even more of a great spooky month for ya!

[@raysworld222]

“WOOPSIE DOODLE” favorite part

[@kylebramhall2604]

39:43 is the freakiest part of the movie for me. There are plenty of unsettling moments and jump scares but the unknowable horror of the Deadlights feels so much worse

[@hoserbike]

I came here to say that. The music, the expression, the power of the Deadlights. Awesome awesome scene. This scene and in Chapter 1 when Pennywise has his hand on Eddie's face. The moment he realizes that he can lose power of the kids aren't scared. My two favorite moments. The music just fits perfectly.

[@jayarthur4130]

[@sjograset]

i think it is cool that old Ben is working for new Ben

[@msfeistybabe]

You mean old young Ben is working for new older Ben... lol For those not understanding this, the actor as child Ben in the TV series is an adult character who is working with Ben in chapter 2.

[@donkfail1]

Good point! This movie tells us standing up to a bully together isn't enough. You should be one yourself. And single out one individual to bully as a group to also have numbers on your side.

[@donkfail1]

[@kingtimot]

Kat's own Bop It. Squish it! Bite it! Eat it! Rip it! Squash it!

[@beestingza]

I loved that. She's very quick with the fight choreography recommendations. She'd be a great duo with Joe Rogan doing UFC commentary.

[@nebulousreactions]

I always look forward to learning the hidden TRUE horror from Kat's reactions 🤣 As for the distinction between scifi and paranormal.... those kind of blend together into this genre, which is "cosmic horror." True sci fi requires some element of science and tech (fictional or otherwise) so having an extraterrestrial entity alone doesn't qualify a story as part of the sci fi genre. I'm a writer, and trying to figure out what genre your story fits into is way more nuanced than you'd think!

[@Markimusgaming]

Fun fact: the guy that played older Ben! Before his acting career took off, he was an entertainer for children in a local supermarket on the weekends, *Ironcally* he was a clown!

[@TheMess9898]

Kat! Your reactions are amazing!!!!

[@TheTarcaina]

I love that Bill is like king, people don't usually agree with his endings hahahahaha Also loved that reference to The thing; the spider head. Even the sentence was the same hahaha I only have the courage to watch this a few days ago. I was afraid of having an anxiety attack because of the openning, thank god was just a lot of cry. The movie is softer than the book, some violence was left out, like the guy who beat the child to death than It come and took the other child. Than finally he was arrested. A lot of triggers to me. But I still love the movies, the first more. As other comments mentioned, Derry has a lot of evil and adults are very weird there. I love how King's books always make me feel so terrified of people more than the entities/ creatures.

[@CheCosaTesoro]

"NO, NO, NOOOOOO!" followed by barking!!!! Love it. Remember........we are watching you.👁

[@guitarman8462]

Stephen King is drinking an Argentine tea called MATE in a cup through a metal straw. And the logo on it is an Argentine ⚽️ Club. The reason for that is because the director of the movie is from Argentina and it's his fav ⚽️ team.

Fun fact: the kid in the beginning that was being homophobic and was like “romantic? What’s so fucking romantic”, that kid plays Betty Ripsom in the IT chapter one!! I learned that shortly after IT chapter two came out and I was shook haha

“Wow these guys have done well for themselves “ they don’t touch on this part very much in the films, but in the books, it’s implied that Pennywise was partially part of their success to keep them from coming home. That’s also why they have little memory of the town once they’ve left

[@Celticrose9999]

The fact that a Stephen King (who is notorious for his pathologically unhinged bullies) literally had bullying as the solution just makes so much sense.

[@MrDarkknight2011]

In a sense, the remakes do take pieces of the original IT movie from the 90's with Tim Curry as Pennywise the clown. Two different eras of movies, but two really great actors who made Pennywise really scary and terrifying to watch lol.

[@jomallory1993]

Part 2 isn't my favorite, so I usually don't watch it often, but I was glad to see you react to it. I also know that *some* people don't like the idea that "bullying was the answer" but I think it's super poetic that a bunch of kids who were bullied and beaten down, something that should have destroyed them, turned the tables and used it as their greatest power.

[@MichaelHonscar]

I’d love to see you watch Bad Moon (1996) and From Dusk till Dawn (1996)

[@JakkFrost1]

40:24 there was no depicted reason to mention this in the movie. It was written in the book that Pennywise sometimes took the form of a werewolf, and the addition of this rule made Pennywise vulnerable to silver bullets when it was a werewolf. It was really just something King pulled out of his ass to give the kids a believable way to sometimes fight back against a cosmic level supernatural enemy.
