    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      There have been reports that the enormous rat Ben was not portrayed by an actual rat, which is not true. Ben was played by a Gambian pouched rat (Cricetomys gambianus), a distant relative of the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), the species used in the film. Gambian pouched rats, while fairly docile, can grow to a body length of as much as 10-17 inches from the head to the base of the tail, with the tail about the same length or longer, and can generally weigh anywhere from two to over six pounds.
    • Goofs
      In the funeral home scene, when Joseph Carter first walks in, we see him from the waist down and he is wearing a long blue coat. When we see a full shot of Carter, he is neither wearing or carrying a long blue coat. Mr. Martin, outside, is wearing the coat we originally see.
    • Quotes

      Willard: You stole this company from my father. It killed him and it killed my mother and now you're trying to kill me. You're trying to take my house. You made a fool of me in front of everybody. You made me hate myself. I thought about it a lot, hating myself. Well right now, at this moment, I LIKE myself.

    Crispin Glover shows his talents
    Mr. Culkin should have taken the role that this movie offered him. For an actor who is trying to prove something to the industry in Hollywood, this movie is an excellent example. Crispin Glover has had a reputation in the film industry as a strong, yet weird actor. Many of the roles that he has received makes Crispin look crazy if not odd. Here, Crispin shows his serious and comic side. The movie alone holds up as a gritty thriller. A horror movie none-the-less, Willard is an interesting film that we don't see too often. A well made movie with decent production value, the cast adds to its greatness. Much like River's Edge, the audience is left wondering where Crispin Glover came from. No longer a young actor, Crispin has worked his way up to become a veteran performer and a good actor.
