Willard (1971)

The story of a man who makes friends with a amry of rats. The rats proceed to help Willard deal with his over-protective mother, and his terrible job. Soon, things get out of hand, and people become rat fodder. Kind of a slow movie, but that's to be expected from the early seventies when movies relied on... what is that called? Oh yeah, a story. Still, it would have been cool to see a few more bodies. A good plot and character development. 3.5 out of 5.
