Evil resurfaces with Pennywise the clown in the sequel to the highest-grossing horror film of all time. See how it ends in IT Chapter 2 at Nu Metro cinemas in Pretoria from this weekend.

The horror will be made real when you experience IT Chapter 2 in Menlyn’s multi-sensory 4DX cinema. Signature 4DX effects deployed for this chilling new horror include rumbling, shaking and floating seat movements to bring the on-screen visuals to life tailor-made for scenes on water or where objects are floating through the air.

However, people are disappearing again, so, Mike, the only one of the group to remain in their hometown, calls the others home. Damaged by the experiences of their past, they must each conquer their deepest fears to destroy Pennywise once and for all… putting them directly in the path of the shape-shifting clown that has become deadlier than ever.

28 July 1958. Badman, an intellectual and the leader of the most powerful gang in Sophiatown, lives life on his own terms in this crazy, cosmopolitan, half-demolished ghetto on the edge of Johannesburg. The gorgeous Eve Msomi, a torch-singer on the brink of an international career, is giving her last concert in the local hall before she travels to London. Tomorrow, legions of police will force the residents of Gerty Street out of their homes and they will be trucked to a desolate township, 15km out of the city. Refusing to face the bleak reality of black South African life, Badman has decided that he will fight to the death for his home. But fate thrusts Eve Msomi, whom he has loved from a distance, into his orbit. And, on this night that bears this beautiful encounter, Badman’s gang, The Vipers, sensing his vulnerability, turns on them both.
