Summary: this is Dawsons Creek meets the X-files!
Review: I would have to describe this is as Dawsons Creek meets the X-files! A kind of sci-fi thriller for teens , older viewers may not appreciate the whole high school scene. This is not as good as 'From Dusk til Dawn' for those who saw that Robert Rodriguez directed this and thought it might be the same. It's not like the whole 'bodysnatchers' theme hasn't been done before but still this is quite watchable. Also Salma Hayek fans beware she's hardly in this movie! Any 'Scream' or 'I know what you did last summer' fans might like this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I am surpriced about how good this movie was!
Review: I just rented this movie tonight and watched with not alot of expectations but it was really good. This movie illustrates the paronoia when the few good people have to battle against the many evil. The casting of this movie is surprisingly good. The actors do a good job and the movie always keeps you interested. Roberto Rodrigez has delivered a surprisingly good sci-fi thriller. I recommend it as a great entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good......
Review: This film has very good entertainment value - The overall story is pretty good as you can never really know who is what (You'll understand once you've seen it) it does keep you guessing. The visual effects are very good. Soundtrack is class. Overall it's a top quality effort and I'd say is worth buying rather than just watching

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining....
Review: I think the Faculty is an average film. It's not very scary but it certainly has a strange atmosphere around it. The teachers are having strange looks on their faces and later on you don't know who is 'good' and who is 'bad'. The end of the film is a bit exaggerated, with this huge monster which I will not describe... If you want to see an entertaining movie, you can watch this film. I must say, the special effects are quite good and the film is not bad, but it could have been better with a more complete storyline.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: i thought this movie was supposed to be horror?
Review: this movie was kind of scary but mostly science fiction.good for fans of both of those kind of movies

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK Teen Gore Fest!
Review: While in it's essence a rip-off of Invasion of The Body Snatchers, it does mock itself. Basing itself on other much better sci/fi movies. The film is well written and with a top-notch cast, of which Jordana Brewster stands out. Film references should keep film buffs interested. Ultimately entertaining but never thought-provoking, which is an important element in a sci/fi movie, good thing it doesn't take itself to seriously. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 6!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A ripe off of Body Snatchers, but still good!
Review: I live in Ohio, and that is the state that the Faculty was set in. It is alwasy interesting to me when movies are set in ohio, but filmed elsewhere. That aside, I really did like this movie, though it is a ripe off of many other movies. True, most will not like the very vulgar dialouge, but it is only a movie. The actors are fresh and interesting. They keep the viewer wanting more, and feeling what they feel. I recommend this movie to sci-fi/horror fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This sci-fi/thriller is fun and Excellent Cast.
Review: This was put in alphabeth order for the cast but it wasElijahWood is the lead in the film, he had the most dialogue in thefilm.

Written By kevin williamson(Scream) did a good job, on the story. To me, is the most enjoyable film, he was ever written and Directed and edited By Robert Rodriguez(From Dusk Till Dawn) make this film so entertaining, it turn out to be one of my favorite films. But My Problem, i have too many Favorite films.

Screenwriter Williamson did some clever scenes, like the scene, where at the faculty room, all the teachers in that room, are drinking water non-stop Or The six teenager have to take a drug to fine out, who is really human and who is alien, possess the body of an human. Familiar to John Carpenter`s The Thing, Where the Group, had to take a blood test, who is really human.

KNB Make-Up Effects Group(Army Of Darkness,John Carpenter`s Vampires) always did a great job on Make-Up effects. Always Did and always Great in all kind of films. One of thier best work is the Drew Barrymore Realistic Dummy In Scream.

This Film has Slam-Bang Effects on CGi Effects, just a few flaws on CGI, like the scene, where:Jon Stewart is finger is cut off, then the fingers are running around to get their next human to turn them to slaves.

Their at times, you wish the Whole teachers for the cast are playing teachers, should have more screening times,also the film could have been longer.

This is better than any Sci-Fi Thriller in the 90`s and Good SoundTrack in this film. Let`s Hope for a Collector`s Series From Dimension Films(Miramax), will include:Audio Commentary From The Director, Writer of the film or Cast Members from the film, Behind The Scenes, Deleted Scenes, If they did an Alternate Ending or That will be Fun to see an Director`s Cut. That will be great for fans of this film.

DVD`s has an strong non-anamorphic Widescreen(1.85:1) transer and An excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. Grade:A-.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughing all the while....
Review: Don't let my title deceive you. Although I was laughing through the entire movie, it wasn't the acting, or the plot (as ludicrous as it was). The movie was genuinely funny. The six lead characters, played by six talented and upcoming actors, all give great performances, even Elijah Wood, who for the sake of Biases...I hate. Although Jon Stewart should've gotten more screen time as the best Biology teacher ever, I was impressed mostly by Robert Patrick's general freakiness, which I haven;t had the pleasure of seeing since Terminator 2.

One to go down the ages. Five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW
Review: Unlike other horror flicks, such as 'scream' and 'i know what you did last summer'. The faculty was actually different and not just some phycho trying to kill people for whatever the reason. The plot was original and truly EXCELLANT. about parasites taking over earth. I know, that sounds really stupid, but it isn't. The cast is great too. Especially Josh Hartnett, I was impressed by him(and not just coz of his look, lol). He portrayed zeke very well. The rest of the cast were great too. And this horror movies actually teaches you something meaningful. (Not remember to buy double locks to keep the 'phycho' away) It talked about how people treats each other. All these stereo types, and blah blah. Really awesome movie. SEE IT
