It Chapter 2 Trailer Review: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

4. It Keeps The Spoilers Down Too

It Chapter 2
Warner Bros.

Aside for a general feeling that something isn't wrong and confirming that the Losers Club is back together and Pennywise is back in town, the trailer here (again) shows great restraint in not setting out its stall too obviously by spoiling everything.

By stuffing the run-time with the scene between Bathilda Bagshot's sister and Jessica Chastain, there's not a lot of room for the trailer team to put in anything that looks like much of anything. So it works like a good old fashioned, mood board trailer does.

We don't get enough of a look at the cast, but we do get a lot of emotions and that's an easy win for selling something like this.
