Wrestling with the Fear of Fear “It” Self Horror film’s underlying message proves both relevant and timeless

Jimmy Flynn editor-in-chief

All films ask a question. In the case of “It,” the question is very simple: What is “It?” In the most literal and pragmatic sense, “It” refers to the film’s face-painted, red-headed, bucktoothed antagonist—Pennywise the Clown (Bill Skarsgård, solid but not especially memorable)—a sewer-dwelling creature that feeds on the people, specifically the children, of Derry, Maine every 27 years. This is a trend that has gone on for some time, yet the people of Derry seem happy to ignore the phenom- enon, allow the few casualties to happen as they may and go about their small-town lives. That is until even stranger things begin to happen to the “Losers’ Club”—a group of picked-on, pale ‘tweens who are out on summer vacation. They have the usual problems— bullies, abusive and/or controlling parents, etc.—but also begin to experience more occult CESAR TESEN FOR THE SANTA CLARA occurrences.

The Losers’ Club is led by the stuttering Bill Denbrough (Jaeden Lieberher), whose little brother Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) is dragged into the sewer at the beginning of the film and is presumed dead (duh).

While there are a handful of pow- erhouse MLB teams this season the MLB wild card standings are coming Volleyball Men’s Water Polo down to the wire. In the American League, the race could not be closer. The New York Yankees (87 wins) and the Minnesota Twins (82 wins) are neck-and-neck as the playoff season is inching closer, but the Los Angeles Angels are only five wins away from passing the Twins with 77 under their belt. At this point, any two of the three teams could win the pair of wild card spots. However, instead of contending for the wild card, the Yankees are looking to overtake the Boston Red Sox who have 91 regular season wins. As close as the Yankees are to securing the wild card, they are just as close to securing a definite playoff position. Yet, no team vying for a wild card BRIAN KLAHN — THE SANTA CLARA BRIAN KLAHN — THE SANTA CLARA spot is safe.
