Fans of the movie Willard can now finally add this odd little film to their home video collection. With a sparkling new 4K transfer, Willard has never looked this good even in theaters when I saw it in 1971. But wait! What's this? Audio commentary with Bruce Davison?!, YES! Original trailers and TV spots?! YES!!! A 71 count stills gallery and a brief (13 minutes approx.) on screen interview with Davison himself?!.A resounding YES!Truth is Willard is not a very scary movie, in fact, it plays a lot like a TV movie of the week. That's not to say there isn't a lot to like about this film. I like the use of odd angles and close ups when Willard has to deal with his mother's friends and family (played by some excellent character actors) Davison gives a very memorable performance as the title character, Ernest Borgnine plays the bullying Mr Martin convincingly, Elsa Lanchester (Bride of Frankenstein) as Willard's mother, who can resist such a treat? Also, Locke and Davison have good chemistry as a potential love affair in bloom.The music score is a bit odd for the first half, it's breezy sounding like something borrowed from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but, the second half's score is more dark and ominous and much more to my liking. I understand the building of tone from light to dark, but the first half score just seems out of place. The rats aren't all that terrifying, but I kind of enjoyed that fact that this film is based on reality and not some super charged CGI fest. The crown jewel of this film is Davison who will forever be the first thing I think about when I think of this film, his performance is underplayed and heartfelt.This new Blu Ray release is a must buy for fans of this film, it sports a beautiful 4K transfer, it has enough bonus features to make us believe Shout Factory really cared about this release. If I had one real disappointment it's that the sequel Ben wasn't included on this release. For one Ben's coinciding release was transferred from the best surviving elements, while it is acceptable considering the circumstances, it doesn't even come close to Willard's transfer. The film itself is almost a parody of Willard with unintentional laughter throughout and some of the worst hammy acting I've ever seen (by good actors no less!) Even as a kid I knew this movie was abysmal. So considering Ben isn't a very good movie and the transfer is a bit dicey, it would have been great to include it HERE and skip the DVD versions of the films.The audio commentary is pretty entertaining, though some if it is repeated tidbits from the interview. Davison is candid and I would think amazed at the lasting impression he created in fan's of this films memories. I don't recall seeing him all that much after this film, he was in a Walton's episode or two shortly after this film, but when I saw the first X Men film decades later I immediately knew who he was and was very happy to see him again. My favorite bonus on this release is the original theatrical trailer, it is without a doubt one of the best edited trailers ever made. I'm not kidding, the editor should have received an Oscar for this thing. When I first saw this trailer I was hooked instantly and most fans of this film recite the dialogue the way it is edited in the trailer over the actually film version. "You made me hate myself! but I like myself now! Tear em up! The trailer is a masterpiece of editing and really sets us up for a little bit of a let down, the film really doesn't live up to the promises of the trailer. Regardless, I'm a big fan of this film, Davison was forever etched in my brain after seeing this film and while I have had a burned copy on DVD from VHS I was only too happy to finally see a legitimate release of this film on Home Video especially looking so beautiful.Quick recap, great transfer, bonuses include commentary, stills gallery, interview with the star and trailers including radio and TV spots. Blu Ray and DVD discs included BUY IT! Nuff Said..........
