Cosmic Horror Story: 'It' is fairly eldritch, having no set physical form and no known motivations.

The part important to Jay and her friends is that Jeff happens to be wearing a letterman jacket in the photograph, allowing them to track him down from the school's information. Convenient Photograph: Hugh aka Jeff just happens to leave a photograph in a porn magazine that shows him with Annie (who the audience may recognize as the opening victim).Especially because that's the last thing we see someone doing to Jay and Paul. Close on Title: The Title happens only after the film is over.But he drops everything (including one of those attractive females) to help Jay with her whole 'stalked by invisible monster' problem, and all-in-all comes off as quite the stand-up guy. Chivalrous Pervert: Greg shows an appreciation for the female form, ogling each of the three main female characters and having several female admirers at various points in the film.He then painfully learns just how strong 'it' really is. Chairman of the Brawl: When 'it' grabs Jay by the hair at the beach, Paul retaliates by attacking the invisible force before him with a folded beach chair.One is the red rubber ball that hits Jay's bedroom window. Cat Scare: A few of these are included to keep the audience guessing.The swimming pool during the climax is a rare example of the heroes falling victim to this, as It Can Think and immediately figures out that it's wandering into an obvious trap. Boss Arena Idiocy: A non-video-game example.In the finale, the results are more ambiguous. Boom, Headshot!: The only thing that seems to affect 'It' is shooting it in the head, which causes it to collapse on two occasions.Body Horror: The almost bizarrely calm shot of Annie's corpse at the beginning, with her leg snapped backwards over her head.The total lack of explanation of course adds to the creep factor. The only thing known is that if you have the curse, it will walk towards you eternally until it catches you or you pass it on. Big Bad: The nameless, speechless, unknowable 'it.' No motive, no back story, no nothing.Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Jay gets a cast on her arm, a few scrapes on her elbows and a bandage on her eyebrow, but otherwise remains perfectly attractive through her trials.Not that Greg survives the movie, bringing any particular love triangle to a harsh end. Betty and Veronica: Paul appears to be the 'Betty' to Hugh's 'Veronica', but when he establishes just how dangerous he is, it turns out that Paul is actually the Betty to Greg's Veronica.Bare Your Midriff: Yara towards the end of the film.Ankle Drag: In the pool, 'It' drags Jay by her ankle back underwater.It also extends to the soundtrack made up of 80's-style synth sounds. Yara has an e-reader, and modern cars are seen, but only one person has a cellphone (not a smartphone either), the televisions are all tube screens, the characters watch exclusively old movies even at the cinema, there's no mention of the Internet, and the main characters drive cars from the '70s and '80s. Ambiguous Time Period: The time period is left subtly vague and undefined.The writer of the film, however, has confirmed that 'It' is almost certainly not dead. Is this figure 'It', having recovered from being shot in the head and following its victims once more, or it just some random bystander that coincidentally happens to be walking in the same direction as them? There's enough ambiguity to take it either way.

Ambiguous Ending: The final shot of the film as Paul and Jay are walking down the street together has a figure in the distance following them at a slow, even pace.

It could be argued that it was for medical reasons as opposed to mental, but, given their conversation took place right after Jay flipped under the impression of a nurse being IT and her mom still blind to the situation, it's more likely the latter. Height and Kelly, is some kind of medication. In the original script, however, it played a much bigger role and, as lampshaded by a conversation between Ms.

Ambiguous Disorder: While we see Jay take a pill once and also have one placed beside a sandwich, nothing much is thought of it by most viewers.

This was the case in Real Life in some people's homes.

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Notable as a bit of late 20th-century flavor is how the working television has been placed on top of the old, dead, bigger TV.
