The climax of the teaser builds tension with a brief, spine-tingling confrontation. The screen is filled with flickering images of Derry’s dark secrets and the reawakening of Pennywise’s terror. The final shot shows a close-up of Pennywise’s malevolent face, grinning with a chilling, predatory smile as the screen fades to black.
