Review of Willard (2003) by Darrin C — 26 Feb 2015
Rats are an unbelievably terrifying backdrop for a horror movie. It goes back to good, old-fashioned horror straight out of Lovecraft or Poe. "Willard' understands that and it makes for a horror remake that infuses a bizarre level of tragedy to its title character.
Willard is a sort of Shakespearean tragedy who gets one of the best, creepiest revenges I've ever seen on film. The character is such a joy to watch mainly because of Crispin Glover. Often portraying oddball characters, Glover is at his best here.
I've never seen the original movie, but "Willard" makes for a good, creepy, squirm-inducing and entertaining horror romp.
