Summary: Hot Naked Southern Blonde Gives Us Quite A Scare(Really?)
Review: This is one of the most hilarious pseudo horror flicks I have ever seen in my life. A drug dealing teen is the hero of the whole ordeal.(Dumb Idea! ) A cocaine like drug becomes a test for people infected by alien organisms.(Dumb Idea! ) The clincher for me is the sweet blonde haired girl from Atlanta, Georgia who starts out as just your average new girl in town. In the end she gets naked(Great idea! ) and then gets ugly(turns into hideous, menacing alien creature.(Scary! No! ) This movie certainly has some "original" ideas and definitely gives viewers a whole new outlook of southern women(just kidding) and it is an incredibly wierd sci-fi horror flick but its originality is not for the better. I find the attempts at scaring the bejesus out of its audience in a high school atmosphere to just be different and sometimes(and in this case) being original is just being different(not better). The only redeeming quality for this flick would be to watch this movie for its comedic value. "The Faculty" is almost classic in the so bad that it's good genre. It has "Your not going to believe this one" stamped all over it. "The Faculty" is so bad that it is worth a look if maybe only to see the blonde to behemoth transformation scene.

Summary: Better than Scream
Review: I liked "The Faculty" better than any of the "Scream" movies. Some aliens take over all the faculty from a school and then try to start taking over the students as well. A group of friends headed by Zeke must try to find the queen of the aliens and stab it in the eye with a pen-full of crushed up caffeine pills in order to kill it and the rest of the aliens.

I thought "The Faculty" was a great horror movie. The aliens and the special effects look awesome and it has good acting. It kept me interested a lot more than any of the "Scream" movies ever did. If you like good horror movies with good f/x, I recommend getting "The Faculty."

Summary: Better than Scream
Review: I thought that "The Faculty" was a good movie. At times I thought it was a ripoff of a few movies, but after watching it awhile, it didn't turn out to be anything like them. It's about some aliens that take over most of the faculty and then try to take the students along with them. Once somebody gets affected by one of the aliens, they don't seem like themselves. They will try anything they can to get another person near them in order to make them an alien. Zeke and the crew must find the queen of the aliens and stab her with some mashed up caffeine tablets in order to destroy her and to make everybody who has become an alien change back to being themselves.

I like "The Faculty" better than the "Scream" movies. Some of the critics say that "The Faculty" was predictable, but myself I thought the "Scream" movies were a lot more predictable than this movie. It also has something else the "Scream" series didn't: great special effects. I recommend "The Faculty" to anybody who likes good horror movies. Wait until you find out who the queen of the aliens is.

Summary: Not as good as Kevin Williamson's other works...
Review: I was surprised by THE FACULTY. Seeing how great SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, I was a little displeased with this one. It's a little predictable, and at moments it's a little too unrealistic. I'm not talking about the alien part, I'm talking about how some of the people act at the school. However, THE FACULTY does have pretty good special effects. The acting wasn't all that great. Clea DuVall did a good job as Stokely. I hate Elijah Wood! This movie was worth the ending, which was very surprising :)

Summary: Faculty
Review: This film looked like your average, Oh no my hair is out of place scream type of film from the adverts, but surprisingly turned out to have a good level of suspence horror and violence mixed together with a story line and some detective work to make a good horror film of 90's this is certainly a modern horror movie of a good quality. Good Actors, Good effects, Not your standard Hollywood movie.

Summary: Buffy meets Aliens
Review: The 'Buffy' set arrived at high school, with the main characters being shown aka 'Trainspotting' style; the quiet one, the popular one, the scary one, the new one...and of course, captain of the football team. Circumstances...i.e. teachers being overtaken by alien creatures...brings them all together to try and save the school and, of course, the world. The best performance was from the high school coach...the liquid terminator in Terminator 2...that man is just scary! It was predictable throughout, until the nice littletwist at the end. A decent enough film for a Wednesday night.

Summary: Scream meets the X-files
Review: The Faculty is a fine teen thriller from Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk to Dawn) and the screenplay by one of Hollywood's finest writers Kevin Williamson ('Scream', 'Scream 2' 'I know what you did last summer' and TV's 'Dawson's Creek'). When I heard that Williamson was involved with this movie I had to see it, and I was not disappointed. The Faculty is a well-made and written movie about Aliens trying to take over a school in American. The movie is hip, scary and even funny in parts and includes a fine cast of up and coming young actors. This film will appeal to fans of scream as well as fans of 'Dawson's Creek', this is a fine movie. I just hope Rodriguez and Williamson team up again!

Summary: NOTHING SPECIAL
Review: There's nothing to reccomend about The Faculty. And surprisingly from the director of FROM DUSK TIL DAWN and DESPERADO it's very tame stuff. There isn't much gore, the rebellion factor is shockingly low (this is important in a movie like this) and the story is never fully developed and isn't up to much. The only thing that is good about this movie is Josh Hartnett. I think he is a very good actor and he should have been given more screen time.

All you get on this non-anamporphic DVD is a trailer, Dolby 5.1 and a letterboxed picture framed at 1.82:1.
