Anton H Being a Robert Rodriquez film, there’s surprisingly very little comedy, which would have made this fairly entertaining flick a BLAST. All the same, still a memorable ‘90s generational piece. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review william s Another Kevin Williamson (writer of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer) High School centered horror flick. Similar to Scream, the characters are aware of the movies their situation is based on, like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and play around with the rules of the horror/sci-fi genre. But, where Scream feels fresh and unique, this feels a bit more "paint by numbers" in it's execution. Not that it entirely fails, because I think it's serviceable, but it's nowhere near as iconic. That being said, I really have a soft spot in my heart of 90s/late 90s movies and the vibes alone make it a recommend. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Mike P Goofy but effective amalgamation of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Breakfast Club; along with other sci-fi classics like Alien and The Thing. (And this is a BIG cult favorite and fan classic for Generation Y... It has a HUGE following!)... And a truly excellent cast and a refreshing sense of humor from Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson really keeps this buoyant...(You couldn't ask for a better cast!! Including Jon Stewart as a science teacher????!!!)...Along with solid direction from Robert Rodriguez... And there's some nice alien effects... (THIS alien isn't a big buggy thing like our beloved Xenomorph; it's more like a squid creature with writhing tentacles; and the effect is appropriately creepy). And the movie does kind of cop out at the ending by letting everyone go back to normal...That was a mistake. And I didn't mind the derivative nature of the script since this is part satire; but it did bother some critics. But overall this is a very fun, campy, sci-fi outting. Highlights include the laugh-out-loud hilarious testing scene; which is a spoof on the big testing scene in The Thing...But there's a twist!... (It's a classic!!) Anyway; good overall. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Korra N One of the best horror films of the 90's that came from prolific writer Kevin Williamson (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer), The Faculty focuses on a fresh look at what alien invasion could look like. A mix of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Williamson's meta-humor hook, a talented cast and fun direction from Robert Rodriguez make The Faculty a solid standout among this style of horror that came in the wake of Scream. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Katheryne S Great B movie. Selma Hayek. Josh Hartnett. Toby McGuire. And super bad alien creature effects. The Breakfast Club meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. With Robert Patrick who played The Terminator 2 as another disguised alien. And a classic Pink Floyd tune from The Wall. Yep, your teachers really ARE out to get you! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Ari V Left the review too long, but pretty sure this is an accurate rating.
