Willard

[on:]

Probably been done before and I will pobably be told off for starting pointless threads but I really can't be assed going over 1 years worth of posts!!

Anyway recently there was the remake of Willard (70's Movie), the new one stared Crispin Glover (George McFly), now from the trailer it really did look like a great movie, it was set for release in the States around March 14th and since then I have heard nothing about a UK release. So I was just wondering when it would be likely to come to the UK (on cinema or DVD) and also if anyone has seen it, was it any good??

I think I read something about it in a recent issue of Empire. I'll check and let you know later.

From that link:
 

Plot Outline: A young man with an unusual connection with rats, uses them at his own sociopathic will.

User Comments: A pretty disturbing film any way you look at it.

That movie bombed here in the states. I never saw it, but I'd like to. It was written/directed by those X-files/Space: Above & Beyond guys, who went on to do the first Final Destination(which was good), and The One(which just looked too crappy for me to see).

This looked like it could have been good.

It looks interesting to me, but then again, movies about giant killer rats are my kinda thing.

I hear the movie bombed in the States, because people would rather spend their money on crap like "Charlie's Angels" instead. Also, I believe that it was in very limited release. I did have an illegal copy of it from online, but the transfer was so bad that you couldn't sit through more than 10 minutes of it. I deleted it.

I guess I'll check it out when it comes to DVD. As for the UK, I can't help you man.

Big enough to warrant its own thread?  Nah.
