Movie Reviews of Willard
Movie Review: Man and rat
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie, it was great. More humorous than funny has been said here before and it's true. This movie will not scare anyone more than 10 years old, but it has a few frights and is entertaining. Lee Ermey as the jerk boss is perfect. Of course Crispin Glover and his rat pals are the real stars, and a good role they performed.Willard looks like a modern day, grown up Alfalfa from the 'Little Rascals'. He is a complete loser, no friends, no girl (although a cutie is interested in him) a jerk of a boss, an insane old mother, and a miserable, creepy old house to live in. No wonder he snaps.
Maybe the ending borrowed just a wee too much from the original Psycho, but all in all, this is a good, fun time film. The moral of course is not to surf porn at work after you fire someone.
Movie Review: Excellent Film, Crispin Glover is brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent film, Crispin Glover is brilliant as the social misfit Willard Stilles. Great acting from Him and the rest of the cast all the way through. The DVD extras are nice as well, especially Glover's video of the Michael Jackson song "Ben". To me this is more of a psychological movie than a horror movie and I think that's what turned alot of people away. I love the original Willard and thought it was great that someone had the guts to remake this and definately casting the perfect actor for the job. Alot of people thought that this movie was about rats running around eating and killing people but look at the title "Willard" the movie is based on him more than the rats. This DVD is definately worth getting if your a Crispin Glover fan or a fan of the original.Movie Review: A Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this advertised on tv and I thought it would be a good movie to go and see. Me and my friends all went and we loved it. Personally, I was hooked from the film's disturbing stop-motion beginning title sequence to the very last scene. It had the atmosphere of good episodes of "The X Files", "The Twilight Zone," and "Tales From the Crypt." It seemed to present itself more as sort of a dark comedy at some points ("Numm Nutts"). Crispin Glover (Back To The Future) was great as Willard. He really caught on to his creepy, pathetic, and strange personality. His version of "Ben" is very odd, too. This film really isn't for people who don't like rats or small children. But if you want something genuinely creepy, then see "Willard."
Movie Review: Atmospheric thriller with superb acting, but not a horror.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I saw this sadly underrated gem in the theater. I think the reason it failed there was because it was marketed as a horror film with killer rats, and to me, it isn't a horror film. The film is primarily about one man's descent into madness; the rats in this film serve more to illustrate this, rather than as a tool for horror and scares. The most important things about this film are the atmosphere, which throughout the film is creepy and gothic, and the acting, which is silmply fantastic. It'll never happen, but I think Glover should get an Oscar nomination for this role.I believe that this film would have succeeded if it were marketed as an art-house film rather than as a scary horror film.
Movie Review: A Man and his Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about this movie other than "I love it"? Glover's superb acting made me genuinely feel his emotions. As with most of his characters, once you see how pathetic and sad he is, you just want to hug him. Though rats are definitely creepy, I wouldn't call this a horror film. I really don't know what kind of genre it fits in, but I do know that it still makes me cry every time I watch it. If you love characters that you can truly sympathize with and a bit of mouse love, then this is the movie for you. Also, if you're a Crispin Glover fan anyway, check this out; if you like his other work, you'll definitely love this.
