It: 19 WTF Moments

15. Beverly's Rapist Father

It Beverly
Warner Bros.

Because dealing with one supreme slimeball isn't enough for Beverly, she goes home and is confronted by her father, who has very clearly been sexually abusing his daughter, and asks if she's still "[his] little girl".

The abuse continues later as he says her newly-cut hair makes her look like a boy, and then near the end of the movie, he confronts her about her hanging out with the Losers and attempts to rape her, only for Beverly to fight back and beat him to death with a toilet lid. Charming.

Bravo to Muschietti and co. for not shying away from the more grounded grimness of King's novel.
