This movie follows the original pretty closely. you have the same basic story; Willard is a shy introverted guy who gets to cuddling rats for fun. The rats start doing things for him so he uses them for revenge.
There are a few killings in the movie but nothing overly gross. Crispin Glover plays a very weird Willard, a bit too weird for my taste. Laura Elena Harring was just forgettable. R.Lee Ermey as Willard's evil boss was one dimensional and almost a comic book character.
Not scary, not recommended, just weird.
An example of how not to do a remake.

Summary of Willard
A young man with an unusual connection with rats uses them at his own sociopathic will. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 04/03/2007 Starring: Crispin Glover Laura Harring Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Glen MorganAs accomplished as it is superfluous, Willard is a stylish horror film with plenty of style and precious little horror. Genre buffs will appreciate it as a visually superior sequel/remake of its popular 1971 predecessor, giving Crispin Glover a title role perfectly suited to his uniquely odd persona, in the same league as Psycho's Norman Bates. This time, Willard's the psychotically lonely son of the original film's now-deceased protagonist; a milquetoast introvert who befriends an army of obedient rats--lethal allies when Willard's pushed to his emotional breaking point by his abusive boss (R. Lee Ermey). In keeping with his memorably macabre episodes of X-Files, writer-director Glen Morgan excels with dreary atmosphere and mischievously morbid humor (including an ill-fated cat named Scully), and Glover gives his best performance since River's Edge. But even the furry villain Ben--an oversized rat with attitude--is more funny than frightful... so really, what's the point? With some justification, Glover's fans will appreciate the open door to a sequel. --Jeff Shannon
