Willard

The reliably odd Crispin Glover – who played the fitfully nerdy George McFly in Back to the Future and the hair-sniffing assassin in Charlie’s Angels – gets neutralized by the overwhelming oddness of Willard, a remake of a 1971 horror flick about a social misfit who befriends a colony of rats. By the time the title character’s pets develop a taste for human flesh, Glover’s no longer the weirdest thing in the movie – and that’s a problem.
