Glover is almost gleeful in the film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

For all its ickiness, Willard is actually that most exotic of movie creatures: a remake that handily bests the original.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 2, 2019

Morgan's camera work is more sure-footed than his screenplay.

Crispin Glover should be nominated for an Oscar

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 12, 2016

The vengeance-driven plot creeps along at a snail's pace, and all the teeth-gnashing and cheek-quivering in the world-courtesy of Glover's demented Willard Stiles-cannot save the day.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 9, 2014

Terrifying and violent horror movie. Rats -- EWW.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2010

No one can do the funny/scary/crazy/creepy high-decibel wig-out/breakdown scene nearly as well as Glover can.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 5, 2010

Never scares, never pulls off enough tension, and the rats are bland.

| Apr 29, 2009

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2008

The rats multiply at a rate that suggests Willard's basement is the city's red light district.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 20, 2007

This "Willard" remix is a gothic, creaking, brilliantly macabre and unexpectedly intimate movie.

| Original Score: A | Jul 23, 2007

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 5, 2005

If you want a lesson in eccentric acting, or if you are interested in a nightmarish story well told, Willard is a noteworthy effort.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 6, 2004

The filmmakers may have been too intelligent for their camp material. They spend too much time on background material, an over-developed hero, atmosphere, and in-jokes.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 5, 2004

No funciona como filme de terror (sua inteno original), mas torna-se interessante graas curiosa atuao de Glover e fotografia sombria. E Ermey sempre fascinante.

...Writer-director Glen Morgan gives us nothing more than a standard horror/revenge of the nerd tale.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 6, 2004

Each era gets the movies it deserves... This new version seems to exist in a bubble. It's got atmosphere to spare, but no real compelling reason...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2004

Glover infuses Willard's relationship with the rats with a perverse sort of sexual energy, and it makes the film that much more disturbing.
