Willard Stiles (Bruce Davison, Insidious: Chapter 4) is a young man with a big problem. He lives alone in a crumbling house with his ailing mother (Elsa Lanchester, Arnold, Bride of Frankenstein). His boss, Al Martin (Ernest Borgnine, Escape from New York) is a vulgar, cruel man who stole his business from Willard's father and is now working Willard to death at his factory job.
Lonely, depressed and isolated, Willard is on the verge of a breakdown when he makes a new friend: Ben, one of the many rats who inhabit his dilapidated home. Not only can Willard communicate with the rodent, but he can actually command him to do his bidding. Using Ben and his furry friends as instruments of retaliation, Willard commands his pets to carry out his vengeance…

I can't believe they made will wood into a movie
haha
HELP
?
@@Nirndust there's a song by an artist called will wood called "Willard!" and it's about this film, and samples it
I loved the expression on Willards face when he said "Tear him up"
It’s freaking intense.
Great line, BUT: My favorite is: "Well, I like myself now...."
@@jamesslick4790 😀
😜😜
"It's awful out here, Socrates." Love this movie and the remake. I found it from the song, "Willard!" by Will Wood. The movie is everything I hoped it would be.
Same here I watched the film and this is exactly how I thought the trailer would be
I thought Micheal Jackson also did the song 'Ben'
@@Cedawood He did!
@@Annabellywelly447 There's been a short on Yt of a guy sleeping on the NY underground & when people come to leave the homeless guy some food he gets up & all these rats, maybe 20, come running out. Gosh, it is awful & very sad..... all at once. : (
came here from will wood aswell
Oh so that's where the opening line "Where Your nightmares end-" from Will Wood's "Willard!" comes from.
heh
YES!
Anyone who has had a bad boss can relate to this film. Great performance by the always-great Ernest Borgnine. He could make you love him or hate him, the mark of a truly masterful actor. I hated him here, but fell in love with him in Marty (1955).
this was the OG will wood (even the name sounds similar)
Shout-out to a fellow Worm-head!
ayy i found out from his song willard!
@@acomn85 i used to know this movie and heard of it again in his song as well!
@@acomn85 i think i may remember that in that little picture of will wood and mr boy reading a book, he was reading a book about willard
@@acomn85 SAME
The reactions to the rats made me laugh hysterically
Not if it was real and coming at you
it's ridiculous to anyone who knows anything about rats. People are just so ignorant, they behave as if rats were the equivalent of a poisonous spider.
Saw this in the Earl movie theater on Liberty avenue, Brooklyn in 1971. My 13-year-old self loved it.
you should rewatch and see how it holds up to childhood memory!
Just had my mind blown... First... I didn't know that the Willard with Crispin Glover was a remake. I looked up this trailer, and when Willard said the line.. "Well I like myself now." @ 1:20 I thought... "where have I heard that line before...said the exact same way?" Then it hit me... Stephen King's (remake) of Kingdom Hospital. And sure enough... the actor (Bruce Davison) that plays Willard is the same actor that plays the infamous Dr. Stegman, and he repeats that line over and over. I have no doubt that this was a purposeful nod to Davison's performance in Willard. I love finding things like this... keeps life interesting lol.
Gee thanks for that info I grew up around that time and that movie freaked me out as a kid the second movie was cool too but sweeter
I'll have to look up Kingdom hospital now
I wanted to see this movie SO bad. But I was 9 and my parents wouldn't let me. I went through a morbid phase where I loved horror movies and cemeteries.
I’ve been in that “morbid” phase the past 25 years
Everybody talked abought this movie back then it was ahead of it's time,Then Michial Jackson had the big hit too the sequel Ben
I was 9 and, My mother TOOK ME to see it, at MY request (well, begging). She was OK with horror films in the Hitchcock vein, So while not THRILLED with all of the rats, She was OK with the movie generally. I also saw "Willy Wonka" the same year - THAT movie (to me) was MORE DESTURBING! She also let me see the "Exorcist" at 11 and the "The Omen" at 14. I still think the "Omen" is "scarier" than the "Exorcist"- - Oh, and "Wonka" is STILL "scarier" than "Willard". 😜
@@jamesslick4790 😂 I'm trying to decide whether your mother was really cool, or really crazy. You seem no worse for wear. I'm inclined to agree about Wonka, and I still think Oz is creepy.
@@nicholasschroeder3678 My mother (1939-1989) was actually cool, She knew what I could "handle" (we were a lot alike), As to OZ, Yeah, That WAS creepy, BUT I liked it. LOL. Less creepy than "Wonka", But ALMOST as "camp" as "Rock Horror" LOL.
Willard! was so good they traveled back in time and made a book and two movies about it 😮
When I was a kid, I always felt bad for Ben, because Willard doted on Socrates all the time.
The Vault Master
you felt a bad for a rat ??!!!!! 😮
watch the sequel then.
@@fatmaahmed2223 who wouldn't? They're sweet animals, go to a pet store and ask to hold one 💞
Ben was the resident badass.
@@Agaettis EWw.😣
My Uncle Jeff was nicknamed Willard as a teen because my Dad and his brother lovingly teased him.Uncle Jeff aka Willard was a Viet Nam Vet,a brother, a Father and my favorite Uncle.Someone took his life and I miss him every day.We rescued a Great Dane and named him Willard after my late Uncle.Till we meet again Jeff my Uncle Willard.
I know this is a very old comment, but I just wanted to say that I rescued a dog with my fiancé and his name is also Willard! He’s a Miniature Pinscher! Btw your uncle sounds like he was a great man!
"Using Ben and his furry friends as instruments of retaliation" I think you mean RATaliation
Good one Susie
Eyyyyyyyy!!!
Nailed it.
And they say jokes are only for dads.
"you made me hate myself" classic film line
Wasn't Bruce Davison handsome I think he was
I had forgotten that Bruce Davison played him. He's still in so.many movies. X Men and a bunch more. Good actor
Watched this movie recently (due to both loving rats and being a big will wood fan) and its my absolute favorite movie, the acting is great, I can relate to willard on a concerning level
Same here, haha
Elsa Lanchester... the original Bride of Frankenstein. Wow, such a wonderful actress.❤️
Davison was SO good at playing quirky oddballs, at a time when there wasn't really much demand for this character type outside of weird cult movies like this one. If Wes Anderson had been born 30 years earlier and doing his thing in the 70s, Davison would have been one of his regular cast members. He matured into a good character actor with a very wide range, and so he stayed busy and has had a great career, but IMO he was at his peak when he played roles like this one. A modern equivalent would be someone like Paul Dano.
I don't consider Willard a evil person he was tired of being bullied and bossed around that's why he did what he did. I really want to find this movie and Ben.
Maia Jones lmk if you find them!
Ben movie is on UA-cam
Yeah, it's not like he orchestrated people's deaths... lol
You might find them on Amazon.
Ben is on cinemax now.
Regardless of the role, Borgnine was one of the finest actors ever.
Amen and Amen, brother. Chapter and verse. Ernest Borgnine lives on as one of the all-time greats.
Movies back then seemed soo much more creepy the noises and the deep voice of the commentator is enough for me lol
It’s awful out here, socrates
the original rat king
Yes
Ratcatcher
@@MachinaGirlRobots 🤫
"Rat Gawd"...
Happy 50th anniversary to one of my favorite films.
For the life of me, I could never figure out why he was so mean to Ben. Ben was wild just as Socrates was. I also don't understand why Willard betrayed all his rats by drowning them. (Maybe to hide evidence I guess, but still a real dick move)
it's funny. Willard was to Ben, what his boss was to him. Willard was too blind to see that. big mistake betraying Ben.
Spoilers man :/
@@fizzy_minx8372 Spoilers for a 50 year old movie 😂
@@chloe-sunshine7 well done you figured out the joke 👍
You'll be there awhile, they can swim 3 DAYS, as long as they can SEE.
I had one as a pet, but the
vermin ones gotta go, sorry.
This was on tv here in the UK last night. I only watched half of it as i was so tired. However... the last time I saw it was when it was first shown on tv. Can't remember how old i was but i must have only been about 6. I was hiding while watching it and i think my parents must have forgotten i was there !
If I've got the right film it's UK TV showing in the 70s was on Xmas eve? I was about 8, I remember the night because my brother and I were allowed to stay up a bit later, presumably so we didn't wake the whole house up opening presents at 4am haha. We we're given one present each early to shut us up, I had a (toy?) camera. Of course I went to bed and to sleep still clutching the camera, and bang on 4am it's carry strap brushed against my neck and I woke the house up anyway screaming about a rat in the bed 😂
One of the saddest horror tragedies I've seen
Originally, I felt bad for Willard, but towards the end, I felt like he deserved to be treated badly.
I was worried about the poor rats. I mean, those are pets, not filthy vermin, per se.
bruce davison, brilliant actor, then and now
The legendary Bruce Lee passed away in 1973 Willard came out in 1971 he saw Willard.
I remember when this was new. It's a classic!
Saw this with the family in our station wagon at the drive-in back in 1971. Kind of scary but the follow up of the double feature The Night of the Living Dead blew us away.
No you didn't
I was on my second tour in Vietnam in 71/72, they showed this movie in out outdoor "walk-in theater. Went back to room and went to bed. My bed had a wooden bookcase type headboard some previous occupant had made. Woke up in middle of the night to chewing noises, took flashlight and saw a vey big rat chewing on it at floor level. Briefly considered the .45 on top of the headboard but figured the other officers including the CO might be upset. Finally located big trap and got it, probably gave it to one of the "hooch maids" tht cleaned our rooms.
"Tear 'im up!" is the classic line everyone remembers. Best line in the whole movie. It's really a study in how all your perceived friends can turn on you in a moment, for no reason that you could understand. Willard was doomed from the start, and there are many of them out there.
Yknow if they changed the music it would actually be kind of wholesome
the will wood fan in me is screaming
One of my brother's favorite movies. I was scared back then, now it's funny!
hello fellow Will Wood fans
Well hello there
This movie resonates with anyone who has ever had an evil boss.
I have an evil boss. I'm self-employed.
Or a RAT! Lol! Very smart, clean, loving ORGANIZED animals! They only mess in one corner and put food in another...they don't smell. Clean fur.
Plus, BONUS, extremely durable!
I loved that movie ! I was a kid watch it several times . Good for Willard sticking it to the boss , boss was a ass ! Ben loved him!
“Tear em’ up!”
Not since the Plague itself have rats been maligned with such impunity. Movie set rats back 50 years and all you guys can do is laugh… um it’s time for a serious conversation
i asked my dad for two rats, so he told me to watch this trailer, and i still want them. he claims they are evil, :(
Your father was onto something.
:) you would not say that if you knew the true nature of rats... this movie gets them all wrong!
if anyone thinks this movie is accurate....well godzilla must have been accurate too! xD no. they dont hurt people at all. very smart but they wont attack for you...lol
lasagna dinner I had a pet rat once he was white. I named him something really cliche and called him Snow. I had to give him up though because mom was getting really creeped out by him
Rats aren't evil. I got one, by accident. He was meant to be fed to a snake, but grew up too fast. His owner no longer wanted him, and asked if I did. I felt sorry for him and brought him home. He was inquisitive, very active and intelligent. I kept him, until he died. You do need to rat proof his area. They do like to chew. They also like to climb, and have toys.
Ben was so good that Michael Jackson wrote a song about him.😊
Actually, Mr. Jackson did not write the song, as far as I can recall; he just sang it. Also, put on your thinking caps and name the actress who played the big sister in the sequel 'Ben'--what would you do without her? Sha-la-la-laaaaaa.
@@Juliaflo Actually in real life, Michael Jackson as a little kid DID befriend a rat in his house then his father killed it in front of him.
@@MachinaGirlRobots saw the movie. that part made me sad.
@@Juliaflo Meredith Baxter, the mother from Family Ties.😊
@@MachinaGirlRobots You're so silly for believing that everything in that biopic was factual. The scene of Michael befriending the rat in his house, while Joseph set a trap to kill it, was written for dramatic effect. It's hilarious how many Jackson fans believe that the American Dream miniseries was some kind of documentary or a completely true account.
I’m embarrassed to learn the 2000s version was a remake. How is it I’ve never heard of this version I wonder? Rats are such magnificent, misunderstood creatures.
Willard the original Rat King
...are you referring to the movie "King Rat" ?
@@gerryboudreaultboudreault2608 No the Rat king from Ninja Turtles
Peoples fear of rats is laughable.
I never knew Ben had a prequel, I just heard of this movie tonite I must watch it now as Ben is one of my all time fav child hood movie
Been had that hate in his eye lol
Bruce Davison , great actor !!! It ' s great actor , then and now . A young actor in this movie , he had 25 years .
P.S. Bruce Davison he did a little apparition in a photo at 57 years old in the movie of 2003 , Willard , remake of 1971 , and he interpreted Martin Stiles , the father of Willard Stiles , interpreted in the remake to the actor Crispin Glover . In the movie of 2003 , Bruce Davison was a bit elderly and aged .
I never knew they remade this lol. I thought the 2006 one was the first.
I saw Willard when it came out back in 1971. I had two pet rats at the time. 😁
It’s awful out here Socrates.
Willard used to air on TV late at night or on Saturday afternoons from the late '70s to the early '90s. At the time, it wasn't that old, but I guess now it is because I haven't seen it shown on TV since about 1992. I read a user review for the movie that talked about how when it was released in 1971, the user was a little girl who used to pester her older brother and his friends, always trying to hang around them, much to their annoyance. One afternoon, her brother and his friends were headed to the movies, and she insisted on going with them. He initially told her no, but their mother made him take her too. The movie they went to see was none other than Willard. Karma. She regretted insisting on tagging along with them that day...
So glad you got the distribution rights!
I was 9 when this came out. I begged my mother to take me to this movie. It was the SAME year as "Willy Wonka". "Wonka" was scarier to me... My mother DISAGREED. LOL.
You had me at Elsa Lanchester.
The original (1971) version of Willard, is a frightening and disturbing film! Watching this movie would give anyone who sees it nightmares. 😱💭
Hi, saw this movie at 11 years old and I was already afraid of mice, this is creeping me out even watching the trailer! Eeeek!
Watched Ben in 80s as a kid. (Because the song of MJ). never knew this sequel exist. Thanks.
Reverse World this was before Ben
Ernest Borgnine squeezed a LOT of money out of thosebeyebrows of his, huh?
I'm so happy this isn't one of those movies where the "evil" animals die at the end. I prefer this kind of ending
I actually like Ben the most
@@aryakeepsafe4142 same
Thanks for giving away the best part.
Deleuze and Guattari use this film as an example of what they call become-animal
Did not expect for anyone to actually reference this here lol
Looks terrifying! I need to watch Willard!
watch the sequel "Ben" afterwards
Wow..is that how old this movie is..71 was my birth year
Excellent movie on so many levels!
1:40 *the musical starts*
this is literally the funniest trailer ive ever watched
Bc it looks old school? I once watched an old school horror flick. It was about slime taking over the world
@@ahhwe-any7434 The Blob?
If you think this is retarded try Terminator Dark Fate. Or Disney Star Wars.
Martin deserved what he got
Martin was a real prick!!!!
Omgggg I need to watch this. I never knew about this version, only the one that came out in the early 2000’s
With the Willard Hotel in all the news it reminded of this movie. Lots and lots of dirty rats. lol.
The trailers for this movie are way better than the 2003 movie remake starring Crispen Glover.
i loved this movie i wish will wood was real
Creepy and classic! Plus a young beautiful Sandra Locke
She's so plain.. ur an idjot
I always liked Brue Davison...he's still a handsome man
you're creepier than the movie
@@beckyhofheinz6357 yes he's good looking
where your nightmares end
willard begins
tear 'em up!
no, willard! willard, no!
THIS IS WHAT WILL WOOD USED IN HIS SONG WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Looking forward to watching and crituing the movie
Why is this funny to me😂😂😂
I still can't look at what happens to Socrates.
he just like me fr
I remember watching this as a child, scared me really bad, it was one of 2 rat films that came out around the same time, the other being Ben.
Ben was the sequel to Willard.
I came here to count all the will wood related comments lol
Fun fact, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 did the song for this movie, "Ben"
1971 Willard.
You're way off
I don't know why this my mom favorite movie😂
She may have had a 'crush' on Bruce Davison?
@@bonniemoerdyk9809 he's a good looking guy!
1:28 - 'one was a friend i had named socrates' yeh you might want to not disclose the truth form your date. 'by friend, i mean a rat. yes, a rat'. didn't put that on his tinder profile...
Damn! An army of rats. And all my pets do is look at me like “why don't you hurry up with our food!” lol
I misremembered "Tear him apart!" It was just "Tear him up."
I don't know why 0:34 makes me laugh so much but it does. The chair is OTT. That's like using a machine gun to kill a fly.
I CAME FROM WILL WOOD
They ate Luetenant McHale. 🤣
This is why they should've kept an eye on Reverend Parris to make sure HE wasn't practicing witchcraft.
"I used to say 'I' and 'me' now it's US..."
Damn, Senator Kelly loves his rats!
Dang wasn't Bruce Davison handsome
Wasn't Bruce Davison a hunk omg he looks georgous in this movie and he still is omg sexy willard
@@tammymorris4126 a hunk? i mean he's attractive but i disagree with your choice of adjectives.
Rats can be pets
I
I loved the remake and never seen this or the sequel Ben. I loved how the remake kept Willard alive and killed Ben ❤
Good looking actor.
「けっして一人では観ないで下さい」っていう言葉は、日本では「サスペリア」のキャッチとして有名で、お笑いではギャグにされるくらいでしたが、こういうところにも登場しているんですね。
怖かった〜。
UPありがとうございました。
The Crispin Glover remake was great, too
dang I cant believe somebody made a song after this called mr sunshine is dead
It’s actually called “Willard!” And the “where your nightmares end, Willard begins” is sampled in the song
