}}Willard is a 1971 horror film starring Bruce Davison and Ernest Borgnine, directed by Daniel Mann. The movie is based on the novel Ratman's Notebooks by Gilbert Ralston (as Stephen Gilbert), and was nominated for an Edgar Award for best picture. The supporting cast included one of Elsa Lanchester's last performances, and one of Sondra Locke's first.

It depicts the social misfit Willard's inexplicable affinity for rats. However, when one of them dies at work, Willard uses his rats to attack his co-workers.

A sequel called Ben (after one of the rats in the original) was released in 1972.

A remake was released in 2003, with Crispin Glover playing Willard. Bruce Davison is also featured in the film as the portrait of Willard's father.
