Willard is a 2003 American psychological horror film written and directed by Glen Morgan and starring Crispin Glover, R. Lee Ermey and Laura Elena Harring.

At the wake, Willard learns that Henrietta refinanced the family home to pay off Alfred's debts resulting in the house's payments falling behind and that the bank will likely foreclose upon the property.

In Henrietta's bedroom, Willard finds an envelope from the coroner's office containing the effects found on Alfred's body, including the still-bloody pocket knife he evidently committed suicide with.

In a scene set to the title song from the 1972 movie Ben, the rats (who have by now taken over the entire house) pursue and fatally overpower the cat.

Despite a contract written by Alfred stipulating that he remain employed by the family company, Willard finds a note at his desk from Martin declaring that he is being fired.

Believing Willard is insane, and aghast at the rat infestation, the police leave to call Bellevue Hospital and the health department.

The police officers and Cathryn look on as Willard, outlined in the upstairs window, kills Ben with his father's pocket knife.

Believing that his friend has been reincarnated, Willard joyfully drops his semi-catatonic act and begins telling the rat his plans for an escape.

The consensus reads: "In this creepy story of a man and his rodents, Glover seems born to play the oddball title character".
