Matt Roush says...

A clown-pocalypse is descending upon the town of Derry, Maine, in the Season 1 finale of the Stephen King-inspired prequel. With a spooky fog enveloping the town, the malevolent Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) puts his diabolical master plan in motion, and with young Will (Blake Cameron James) among those in the monster’s clutches, his fear-immune dad, Major Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo), joins the fight to contain the evil. Expect more carnage.
