Summary: the faculty(not all bad)...check out JORDANA BREWSTER
Review: the faculty was a pretty entertaining movie for another teen horror flick from now has-been writer kevin williamson(the idiot screenwriter on SCREAM 1&2 who backed out on SCREAM 3 to direct 'teaching mrs. tingle'-which was beyond bad and to work on the quickly cancled 'wasteland')BUT GETTING BACK TO THE POINT, i thought the film was funny, clever, a little predictable(but what horror film isnt?) and the cast was perfect, especially the beautiful JORDANA BREWSTER(she plays the character of delilah), who also stars in the poorly done made-for-television film 'the 60's'. overall i enjoyed the movie, but the five stars are for JORDANA BREWSTER. the movie itself actually gets three from me.

Summary: Predictable, Formulaic , & Unoriginal....But, ENTERTAINING!
Review: 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 most of the "JUNK" Hollywood churns out, after seeing the FACULTY, & looking into the depths of my soul, I must admit, begrudgingly, it is a rather entertaining movie! Fast-paced and shrewdly pressing all the audience'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: 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! 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!

Summary: My, How These Teenage Horror Flicks Haven't Changed!
Review: Imagine you're back in the 1950s and watching one of the many teenage horror flicks of that day. You know the kind -- a monster comes to down (always a small town), a small group of teenagers figure out what is happening, but whenever they turn to the adult world for help, the monsters have gotten there first and changed the adults into monsters. Our teenage heroes are scared and don't know what to do when they begin to suspect each other of being a monster! Yet if they don't rise above these impossible odds and chase the monsters back into outer space, the monsters will take over the town tomorrow and the next day they will take over the planet. Okay, you're in the 1950s and watching these movies, and you wonder "What will these movies be like in the year 2000?" THE FACULTY is your answer. First, you'll find that the plot hasn't changed one iota. Second, you'll notice how the teenagers themselves have changed from Archie and Veronica goody-goodies into punk cocaine-sniffers who use language that was simply not allowed and not heard in the 1950s. Third, you'll notice that the teenage heroes, underneath, have the same hearts of gold and the same sense of social altruism that they had in the movies of the 1950s. But the biggest change of all is the fourth one: the special effects. In the 50s, you could laugh at the seams that were showing when the monster hunched forward, or the little toy-constructed towns that they stomped on. But in THE FACULTY you see monsters that have been spawned from computer animators, who wiggle and jerk and suck you up into their insect-like mouths. You see people turn into monsters before your very eyes. (When we first saw this in the old WOLF MAN movie of the 1940s, we were frightened; now we see the same thing routinely in movies and on tv, and in fact, if we're watching a horror flick, we simply expect someone's face when shown in close-up to start to transform itself into the ugly and menacing face of a monster.) So, 40 years of Hollywood progress has brought us special effects that are truly fantastic. THE FACULTY uses the usual special effects; nothing much new here, we've seen it all in the past few years. But the special effects are used to good effect. The screenplay isn't up to the standard of the same writer's THE SCREAM, but it's better than his two sequels of THE SCREAM. Leonard Maltin says one thing that is absolutely insightful: THE FACULTY is too long. At 117 minutes, it drags. But the drags are due to simply lingering on to a scene too long. A judicious cutting of a minute here, two minutes there, 30 seconds somewhere else, and the movie could have made ten times the money it made. I'd say 105 minutes would have done the job nicely. The editor, perhaps prompted by the director, simply tried to milk too much out of the scenes. They should have hired the editor of MAGNOLIA and given him a free hand with THE FACULTY. Too bad--you spend so much money on a film, and then hurt it badly in the editing room. Bottom line: a quite enjoyable movie, better seen at home on DVD than in a theatre because you don't want talkers in the theatre to distract you while you watch this one.

Summary: It doesn't get any lamer than this!
Review: When this movie came out, I thought it was a cool idea for a movie and I wanted to see it, but somehow never got around to it. Other people told me the movie was O.K. but not all that great. When I heard these comments, I was still thinking I would like this movie because none of those people were horror film junkies like I am. Well, I rented it, and it turns out they were wrong about this movie, but not in the way that I thought they would be wrong. The Faculty is much worse than the way I heard it described. In fact, it is an abomination. It is truly awful, and ranks (or shall I say "reeks") as one of the worst movies I have ever seen. If you take out the swearing, this film is basically kiddie-horror. The story is like one of those Goosebumps books that ten year olds read. It is basically just your run-of-the-mill class nerd becomes big hero movie. It reminded me of a made-for-television movie, like one of those ABC after school specials. The fact that they make reference to Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this pitiful movie is utterly ridiculous since it is nowhere near being in the same league as that great sci-fi classic. I would have given this movie 0 stars, but unfortunately that wasn't a choice. If you like Disney films, get The Faculty. If you like horror, don't bother.

Summary: 50's sci-fi meets 90's pop generation.
Review: Most people would think that the above combination would fail, but not at the hand of Kevin Williamson, writer of this wonderful science-fiction film brought to life by talented actors and from the director of "From Dusk Till Dawn." Opening with an intense scene in which the school principal is attacked and overtaken by two alien staff, the film only gets better, introducing us to the seperate lives of each of the students who will come together to stop the faculty, as well as the student body, from taking over the entire town. As more people become converted, the small band of "refugees" begin to discover their own clues, ultimately deducing that the queen alien must be eliminated if they are to save the town. Some might think the plot and material to be juvenile, yet it has a certain intelligence and thinking factor behind its young and fresh cast. Also, the film blends with its story many of the elements used in movies of the same genre from the fifties and sixties, which makes it even better for some reason. Let's just be blunt: everything in this movie works.

Summary: Fast-paced, engaging, easy-to-follow story
Review: This is one movie that catches you from the start and keeps you engrossed to the story development till the end. There are a few pleasant surprises along the way which only serve to draw the viewer deeper to the movie. Much of why the movie works lies in its adherence to relevant ideas and keeping them short and sweet. There is hardly little wasting of time on unnecessary grounds here. There might have been a few cheesy scenes (e.g. the opening scene) but on the whole, The Faculty comes across as an engaging movie due to its fast pace and uncomplicated storyline. VERDICT : Sci-fic or thriller viewers that do not mind its simple storyline will like this movie for its fast pace.

Summary: not bad for a teenager horror film
Review: I saw this movie on showtime not to long ago and it was actually a good horror movie. I couldn't believe it. It even had teenagers playing the parts. That is even more unbelivable. This movie is 1 in about million because it is very rare for a horror film with teenagers in it to turn out good. Not only that but it had a hot naked blonde girl towards the ending of the movie that made it that much better
