Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

Some good jump moments and at least two stomach-churning murders committed by the rats with tight direction of Daniel Mann develop pic into sound nail-chewer. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Willard could have been a great horror film; instead, it just makes you want to lift your feet safely off the floor. Read full review

Roger Ebert

A typical Horatio Alger story, with rats playing more prominent supporting roles than they customarily did in Horatio Alger. Read full review

Vincent Canby

Willard, which is otherwise a dull movie of no major consequence, is a rather astonishing footnote to a major urban problem. Read full review
