Willard
A remake of the original starring Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Charlies Angels) as Willard, a social misfit in a dead-end job, forced to look after his ailing mother. He develops a bond with rats which he uses to get back at his boss (R. Lee Ermey- Full Metal Jacket) who is constantly harassing him.
While the story could be considered slow, the acting was superb, especially from Glover. He created a character you feel for. I enjoyed it, even though it didn't follow the equation for a modern horror/drama film.
*** out of ****
