Willard is a remake of the classic 1971 rat-ridden horror tale where a lonely recluse turns to organized and intelligent rodents to punish those many individuals who tormented him. Crispin Glover portrays the title victimized lead with both sympathy and creepiness, while the rest of the cast play out their roles with campy overacting to compliment the often comedic horror of rampaging vermin run amok! If you're squeamish about gore, rats and the idea of ravenous swarms of them, avoid this film! If you never saw the original-see this one for a combination of dark laughs and revenge.

Continuity mistake: When Willard feeds the rats in the basement, the container of nuts is next to a Coke bottle. When he leaves the basement, there is no bottle and the lid from the nuts container is in a different place. (00:20:05)

Willard: Have you been to the basement?
Willard's Mother: Oh, you know I can't, but I know they're there. I can smell them! All my life I could smell mice.
Willard: Smell mice.
Willard's Mother: And hear them! Don't you hear them down there?
Willard: It's just the wind.

Trivia: When Willard's boss is working on his spreadsheet program, just before the rats show up, he is not entering the spreadsheet formula properly. He is entering the actual numbers like 235+345+315 instead of using cell addresses like =A1+B1+C1. Not really a mistake because his character could be an idiot on spreadsheets. Just an interesting observation.

Question: Why didn't the filmmakers use the original movie's ending where Willard gets eaten?

Answer: Pure marketing. The original ending was the shot of Ben in the window, but test audiences thought the movie was too dark already. The rest of the end was filmed months later, with Willard stabbing a bean bag.
