SCARY movies are right down towards the bottom of my list of favourite things, but last week I broke my own rule, writes Daniel Blackham. 

I attended the launch event of the new Cineworld in Bracknell, accompanied by my work colleague and my Dad, to see the new film adaptation of Stephen King's It. 

Having checked out a few of the trailers, I knew the film was going to be horrible, but I thought I'd go down to experience the new 4D experience. 

Going into the cinema, I was a tad nervous, as the scariest film I had seen at a cinema before that was Harry Potter, so I was quite pessimistic. 

Straight from the off, the first scene was pretty frightening, with the title character making his first appearance. 

The seats we were sat in, a bank of four red suede armchairs, threw us around like we were on the introduction to a roller coaster, which gave an extra dimension to the experience.

For a man more accustomed to watching comedies and documentaries, this was a brand-new experience, and one I predicted to myself I would hate. 

My experience was on the contrary, and as the film progressed, there were points I had to cover my eyes with fear, however the majority of the picture I spent engrossed, gripped and trying to guess what was coming next. 

The acting in the film was first class, and there was much more to the picture than just cheap jump-scares, of which there were few. 

Before the film, I expected it to be the first and last horror film I would see, however I came out of the multiplex wanting to go again. 

If you get the chance, watching a horror film in 4D is an excellent way to spend an evening.
