Willard (1971)

A Guy's Best Friends Are His Rats


I remember seeing Willard as a kid - enjoyed the film then. Watching it all these years later I still find it a good film.

It seems that Willard is a 27 year old man without many real friends. He stayed with his sick mother & his father passed away leaving the business to a colleague and Willard works for the man - this man wants Willard out of the office. After Willard's mother passes away there is a large mortgage left on the house and Willard's boss wants it as well. When at home, Willard spends most of his time with the rats he's raised and the two rats he's closest to are Ben and Socrates. Willard brings his rats to work with him, they get loose and his boss kills Socrates - that's when Willard becomes vengeful and Ben is willing to help.

This is a pretty good character & story driven film. Worth watching if you like the older horror films.

7.5/10
