Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Darned if this one isn't good, clammy fun! Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Even if it were the pits, who in his right mind would pass up an opportunity to see Crispin Glover coo and canoodle with rats? Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Love or hate this movie, tell me you weren't scoping for rats on the way to your car and I'll call you a liar. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Witty little B-movie. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [Y]ou got a real opportunity here to do something really funny -- because Crispin Glover is really fun -- and something scary, but the rats, I guess, aren't up to the task. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Barely a line flies by that doesn't land with a wooden thud. Read more
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: A silly, snarling romp. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A technically impressive but essentially heartless spoof. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: If you've ever heard gnawing in your attic, Willard will creep you out. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: [Glover] is fascinatingly, compellingly weird. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The new version is actually better. Read more
Ray Conlogue, Globe and Mail: Not very stylish and not very scary. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: Nearly every scene along the way to the movie's Psycho-like conclusion is fundamentally silly in ways that don't always seem intended. Read more
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: Glover's performance turns out to be shockingly emotional, drawn as daringly close to the bone -- within this story's limited thematic range -- as Anthony Perkins' work in Hitchcock's seminal film. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: What elevates this nouveau Willard above similar restorations of used pulp is the way it sustains the original's queasy menace while applying neatly stylized layers of grit and wit. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This new incarnation of Willard emphasizes one thing: no matter how bad the original was, it didn't need to be remade. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It has attitude and a look, but the rats aren't scary. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: The movie keeps it close, clammy and simple, the better to focus on what is unquestionably this little thriller's strongest point: The tragic love between a boy and his rodent. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: The movie isn't without style, but the material can't remotely sustain 100 minutes. Read more
Scott Foundas, Variety: The remake is overplayed in a Grand Guignol manner, dumbed down and sped up for the MTV generation. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: In a culture clogged with appropriated effluvia and remake cop-outs, Willard is wittier and nastier than we deserve. Read more
