A brand new trailer for Stephen King adaptation It has been released building on its promise of being one of the year's scariest films.

The new look at the forthcoming film from Andy Muschietti (Mama) shows off the film's villain, the devilish Pennywise, who haunts a group of kids (known as The Loser Club) as they enter the sewers of Maine to search for their missing friend.

Bill Skarsgård looks to be on star-making form playing Pennywise while the film's young cast - including Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard - aren't particularly struggling in their efforts to look terrified.

It isn't the only King adaptation to be released this year - The Dark Tower, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, will be released in August fit with a running time that has the author's fans concerned.

The first trailer for Stephen King’s It managed to break records, being streamed 197 million times globally in just 24 hours and beating previous record holder Fast & Furious 8.

It will be released 8 September.
