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.

Drama Rated NR

“… aims to be a big-screen version of a lurid pulp crime novel.”

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
