| You'll mutter to yourself "Rats!" when you
discover that there is very little horror in this
horror film whose trailers promise an atmosphere

| Susan Granger's review of "Willard" (New Line Cinema)
Rats! They've done it again. Writer/director Glen Morgan has made a
remake of Daniel Mann's Gothic horror flick. Back in 1971, this perverse,
low-budget, rodents-on-the-rampage story was a...more |

| Even from just its unusual opening credits and accompanying Elfmanesque
music, it's pretty clear Willard is the film Tim Burton should have made
after Ed Wood. That might not sound too flattering, since I think we're all
in agreeance (thank you, Fred...more |

| by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 3/4) |
| WILLARD, a remake of the 1971 horror movie by the same name, is, well, unusual.
A deliciously twisted tale, it stars Crispin Glover as Willard, the Pied Piper
