What really took me by surprise was how the movie was more of an adventure movie than horror -- which I was pleasantly surprised by. I like many, didn't find the horror parts to be scary at all, but I still loved the creativity that went into these crazy sequences like the projector, the fridge, the sink, etc.
But for the sequel, I really hope they try to make the movie more frightening on a psychological level, since that scares adults more, and the losers club will be adults at that point. If it wants to scare these adults, it can't go "OOGLY BOOGLY!" like before.
I liken it to Monsters Inc (which is already kind of similar to IT when you think about it). In Monsters Inc, the monsters scare kids by sneaking up on them and making a scary face. But in Monsters U, they have to scare the adults with subtlety - something that was pretty absent in IT.
Chapter One is like Nightmare on Elm Street or Evil Dead, and I think Chapter Two should be more in the vein of Black Swan or Babadook.
