Willard

A sad young man who is overstressed by his sickly mother and over-demanding boss befriends an army of rats and soon uses them to get revenge. This is actually a remake of the 1971 verson, and to tell you the truth, I actually perfered this one. It had better actors, more developed characters, and sharper effects. I really dug how the incoorperated the song Ben (from the movie Ben, the sequel to the original Willard) by Michael Jackson into this movie. Very nifty. 4 out of 5.
