About this product

Product Information

Glen Morgan's WILLARD stars Crispin Glover in the title role as a socially awkward loner who lives with his ailing mother (Jackie Burroughs) in a decrepit old house. Trapped between duties at home and working at a dreary company formerly owned by his deceased father, Willard leads a bleak and routine existence until he befriends Socrates, an albino rat living in the basement. This new friendship leads to an affinity for the ever-growing rodent population under his house, and soon Willard discovers the rats will do anything he tells them. When Willard is pushed too far by his bullying boss (R. Lee Ermey), he decides to use his four-legged companions to get revenge.A perfect pairing of actor and character, Glover is ideal as Willard in this Burton-esque remake of the 1971 cult horror film. Widely known as an introvert and eccentric in real life, Glover expertly transfers his quirks to Willard in a giddily affected performance that ranges from subdued to outraged. Ermey (of FULL METAL JACKET) and Laura Elena Harring (of MULHOLLAND DRIVE) provide excellent support as his dictatorial boss and concerned coworker, respectively, but the true costars of this thriller are two rodents, the affectionate Socrates and the imposing, cat-sized Ben. Although some of the rat scenes are rendered with animatronics or CGI animation, the majority of Glover's scenes with Socrates and Ben involve real animal actors who convey distinct personalities and factor heavily into the story. The clever and darkly comic script even manages to bring in an element of the original film by featuring photos and paintings of Bruce Davison, star of the earlier film, as Willard's dead father. And be sure to listen for both a young Michael Jackson and Glover himself singing WILLARD's adopted theme song, "Ben."

  • Creepy Good

    I loved this movie and the remake is even better than the original. It has everything a creepy dark mansion, things moving around in the celler and a super creepy family. The acting was great. Unfortunately, it had a pg 13 rating which means that the scenes were not as thrilling as they could have and should have been.

  • Like 2-in-1 deal of the original two.

    To be honest, I WAS expecting somewhat different scenario. It's almost like Willard and Ben combined and story line seems to be too hurried to make the movie not too long not to loose the audiences attention. Me, I do not mind long movie-that's why it's a movie. If this is the only one among the three one watches, I think it's fine. You don't see all those main actors much. They are all good. Creepy, sicko relief!! Whew!! Had no ides Michael Jackson sung "Ben" Wow!!

  • Ah,Rats!

    A good movie, but not as great as the original. Crispin Glover is weirder than the rats. Still, not a bad film . Grade B.
