Review of Willard (2003) by Joshua H — 18 Jul 2007

I have no clue how the producers thought a film like this would make any money but I'm happy to say I went to see it in theatres and now own my own copy of it, it's a delightfully bizarre movie, I love Crispin Glover and Laura Harring and they both did great jobs.

Too bad Glen Morgan's next directorial effort was AWFUL.
