Viewing Notes
Wonder if I ever saw this as a child. I know I watched BEN.
Wasn’t all that familiar so I guess I didn’t see it as a kid but I probably would’ve liked it. For most of the movie it’s basically a drama with Willard getting pushed around while he trains his rat army. Only really turns into horror in the final act. Haven’t revisited the remake since it was in theater but I think I prefer that version more.
