I know folks won't be impressed with this but I sometimes use pirate streaming sites to check out recent films (funds are limited). I tried out 'It' and the streaming failed after 70 minutes (no substitute for physical media). To be honest, I wasn't too upset as I felt extremely indifferent about the movie. It was nothing particularly special despite the success. btw Why can't they use actual make-up to create a leper instead of poorly realized cgi effects.
So I tried another film after that particular streaming effort failed. Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water. Wow, what a difference. I loved this movie! I don't want to build up expectations too much but I thought that this was easily del Toro's best film since Pan's Labyrinth. Set in the early 1960's, it shows the relationship between a mute female cleaner and an amphibious humanoid in a government facility. Beautiful film, will purchase on blu-ray day one.
btw I think my wife will also love Shape of Water.
