Rating: Summary: Very Good--But I'd of liked a little different ending Review: I saw The Faculty on Showtime last week, and I thought it was a very good movie. I especially liked the way the movie made sense after you see the ending. The moviemakers made sure there was a reason each of the main characters was spared from being infected by the alien. For example, it turns out it was lucky the quaterback had his run-in with the coach at the end of practice. It made QB sympathetic to the alien. I was a little disappointed in the ending of the film after the alien was killed. None of the characters seemed to recoginze that the alien had played a vital role in improving a very dysfunctional school environment for them. I know dream sequences at the end of horror movies are cheesy, but I think this time that type of scene could have been put to good use. Maybe Stokley or the character played by Josh Hartnett could have had a dream experience that dealt with the dual aspect of the alien. To sum up, I just think the alien was right about a lot the things it said while chasing Elijah Wood around the lockerroom and it would have been nice if one of the characters in the aftermath could have recognized this.
Rating: Summary: GREAT! Review: I thought this movie was great. Some may say that it is a typical horror flick for teens. Well I disagree. This movie has a great plot for being a horror movie. In fact even i thought this one would just be a repeat of awful horror flicks such as "I know what you did last summer" and "scream". But this movie surprised me. Besides having teens playing the roles of teens. Unlike "scream" for instance. I found the meshing of different cliques to be refreshing and new. The story line of teens fighting aliens trying to take over the planet may not be new. But I think this movie puts a new and creative spin on it, without making it too dramatic. During the most climactic scenes the mood is set by some great comedic writing. In my opinion this is definately a movie you should see.
Rating: Summary: A great suspensful movie with good lookin actors Review: This is one of my favorite movies. Of course you know that somehow the day will be saved yet,it keeps you at the edge of your seat. Not only is it suspensful, but it has a darn good lookin actor in it- Josh Harnett, who will soon be in Here on earth! This is terrific movie and I highly recomend you buy it. You won't be sorry if you do.
Rating: Summary: Suprisingly Good Review: I'll be honest, I never had any intrest in seeing this movie, I don't believe in aliens, and the only reason that I did see it, was because it was on Showtime this weekend;and thank God for that. I was so happy with this movie, it was great. Any high school student has thought at one time or another, that there teachers, parents, friends, were aliens, so this is a film that most can relate to. I personally really liked the mixing of "cliques", and the fresh-budding relationship between Stan and Stokely (horrid name), he is a cute quaterback, and she is an outsider, but there is great chemistry between the two. It's also good to see actors portraying teens, who actually look as though they are still in high school. The way they go about destroying the alien race, is humorous, and it is always good to have suspense, and the occasional commic-reliefs. This movie has it all, and if you get scared easily, do not worry, you won't be closing your eyes to much. This is a great movie, that unites different groups, and will honestly keep you guessing 'till the end!
Rating: Summary: A Fantastic Movie Review: I thought this film was absolutely fantastic. The cast were great and the storyline was terrific. I've never seen a film quite like this!It's thouroughly enjoyable and not too scary so it's it's also perfect for those who don't like to hide behind their sofa's!
Rating: Summary: The faculty should get their pink slips Review: Robert Rodriguez is an enormously talented director, but I'm still wondering why on Earth he wanted to make this stupid teen horror film about aliens taking over a high school. He probably thought that he could make it better with his own personal style and, while I commend him for trying, this movie is a half an inch from being completely unwatchable. Rodriguez's directing, usually so involved and in-yer-face in his previous films, seems pedestrian in this movie. It's almost as if he knew how bad the material that he was working with was. The lousy and unoriginal special effects speak for themselves: they are laughable and embarrassing to watch. Not only did this movie lack creativity, but it also lacked originality. The only plus that I can give this movie is that, unlike other teen movies, the actors that portray teenagers in this movie actually seem like real teenagers. I can't even recommend the film on that basis. Avoid this movie and see Rodriguez's "El Mariachi" which, for a film with a not-so-new story idea, was a fresh and innovative movie that offered something new.
Rating: Summary: FAKE! Review: This movie is awful. The setting alone is too abstract from anything in reality. It takes a set of overly stereotypical teenage high school students and has them fight an alien race taking over the town. If an alien race ever took over a WHOLE town, it would take a lot more than a couple of flunky high school students to stop it. However if your into these kind of teen horror flicks, then you'll probably enjoy it a little bit more. The only part that i did enjoy was when Jon Stewart went psycho and lost his fingers and ran around with a pencil in his. He should do it on the daily show more often! But besides that, i'm very disappointed.
Rating: Summary: This is a must see Review: I like this film because it relates to teens but also it questions all those other scary movies saying mabby there really are aliens. It kindov says mabby all those sci-fi non fiction movies where writen by people who actually saw aliens or are perpering us for aliens. This is a must see film.
Rating: Summary: This Horror a Flick is a top Competitor Review: In a world filled with excellent horror films (Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc.) The Faculty is easily overlooked. My cousin stated that this movie is horrible and that I should never see it. After I watched this movie the other day I loved it and immediately purchased it. It's acting is outstnding (including its put-downs) and the way the characters match and mingle is just amazing. This is the most unprediactable film I have ever witnessed and I couldn't believe half the scenes. This movie is one of my all-time favorite horror flicks and I recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Not so bad as I thought, but... Review: ...Somebody needs to explain to these people the difference between a 'dessicant' and a 'diuretic'. The whole caffeine snorting thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
