Better than I remember.

A group of students suspect that their teachers have been overtaken by alien creatures, they have to overcome their differences, and unite if they're to save the school and humanity.

Imagine being in school, and daydreaming about invasion of The Body snatchers, that's what comes to mind when I think of The Faculty. I think this film has aged quite well, I think I prefer it now to when I originally saw it back in 1998.

It's bags of fun, it's over the top, it's camp, it's sexy, it's got more stereotypes than you could ever dream of, where else could you see a film where drugs save the world.

There are some genuinely good horror sequences, I've always enjoyed the opening, it's very creepy.

It's interesting to see how this film served as a vehicle for so many up and coming stars, it is quite literally loaded with talent, literally and physically, that 1990's era where only beautiful people went to school. The likes of Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Jordana Brewster and Josh Hartnett.

Robert Patrick is excellent as the coach, not long before he'd take join The X Files.

7.5/10.

Very Much 1990s

Students suspect that their teachers are aliens after bizarre occurrences.

This is very much a film of the 1990s, especially the second half. That same teen horror subgenre that "Scream" mastered and "Disturbing Behavior" did well. Get a mix of teen idols, add a soundtrack, and boom, you have a film. This is no exception, with some of the biggest names of the time on the screen (now, about fifteen years later, it is interesting to see who is big and who is forgotten).

As far as being a "body snatcher" movie, it is pretty good. It is obviously aware of its past, as it overtly makes reference. But it also tries to steer clear of being a copy. Some references to past films are over the top, such as naming a character Edward Furlong. Really? Although not one of Robert Rodriguez's best films, it is still a nice trip down nostalgia lane. And it is probably not his worst (it may be time to stop with the "Spy Kids" and "Machete" sequels).

Fast-Paced, Shrewdly Presses All the Viewer's Buttons: Takes You on Quite a Cinematic Ride!

From PASTO, COLOMBIA-Via: L. A. CA; CALI, COLOMBIA+ORLANDO, FL The ONLY Tony Kiss Castillo on FaceBook!---------------------------

Don't you just hate those "friends" who belly laugh harder than anyone in the theater, and then, making conversation after the movie, you ask them, "Wow, you really enjoyed that, didn't you?" and they snap back, "What, are you nuts? That was the worst flick I've seen in years!" Well, that's definitely NOT me.

Despite priding myself on usually disliking a lot of the JUNK churned out by Hollywood, after seeing the FACULTY, and looking into the depths of my soul, I must admit, begrudgingly, it is a rather entertaining movie! Fast-paced, shrewdly pressing all the viewer's buttons, in the right order, it does exactly what its producers want it to: Take you on a cinematic ride!

Still, I'd like to issue TWO Brief Warnings:

1) If You're a Salma Hayek FAN.....Don't Blink! (You just might miss her altogether!) T. O. S. T. = About 4 or 5 minutes!

2) DON'T See IT a Second Time! It's like driving a car with no air in your tires! Believe me, I've tried it...Just doesn't work!

...Certainly, the first time, though, you should have some good fun!

6*...ENJOY/DISFRUUTELA! (Even if it's ONLY ONCE!)
