Willard Movie Review 1971

Willard is a lonely, psychotic youngster who trains a group of rats, his only friends, to attack his enemies. Not as disgusting as it might have been (rated PG), but pretty weird and not redeemed by any sense of style or humor. Popular at the boxoffice; followed by inferior "Ben." Based on Stephen Gilbert's novel "Ratman's Notebooks."
