Summary: Where exactly is the horror/sci-fi genre headed to?
Review: Why is it year after year we have to have horror movies with teenage stars? When was the last time we saw an actual original film that mixed comedy with horror and science fiction as The Faculty tried to? I believe it was 14 years ago to a movie called Re-Animator. That same year, two other imaginitive horror films called Day of the Dead and The Return of the Living Dead were also released. Why is it we can't have horror films as good as those three? Instead, we get an imitation of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Puppetmasters with a cast of young stars. While the acting was better than usual, nothing else was. It just seemed highly improbable that an entire town that was infected could not find six teenagers that weren't. This movie had some mildly suspenseful scenes, but overall lacked imagination, and definitely laughs.

Summary: Hysterically Horrific
Review: This Film has to be the Funniest Horror film In years. I admit I hated Scream but this is Classic. The References to other classics was superbly executed. Everyone who owns a VCR must watch It.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: Not bad at all. I wanted to see this in the theater, but my husband wouldn't go with me, since I'd dragged him to the putrid 'Urban Legend' the month before (I regretted it too). I really wish now I'd seen it in the theater, I still liked it on video but it's one of those 'popcorn' movies. I took stars away for it's shamelessly ripping off "The Thing", one of the ten best horror films ever made (in my opinion that is) and one I've seen over a dozen times. The take-the-test-to-make-sure-the monster-isn't-you scene and the severed head spouting legs and running around, spider-like, are right out of that movie (and so is the character's 'what the f---?' line when he sees it). But if you're going to steal, steal from the best. I also am not the biggest Kevin Williamson fan in the world, maybe because I'm not in my 20's anymore and I find his aren't-I-clever pop-culture references painful. But those are minor points. I've seen most of the stuff he scripted and this is his best--much more unpredictable. Unfortunately I figured out who the "Queen" alien was before it happened, because I read a semi-spoiler. But in the scene (the one ripped off from the thing) where all the characters are alone in a room and one-by-one are tested to see if they have the monster in them, the last one I expected turned out to be the monster. I'm pretty good at guessing plot twists, so I liked that. Also, I don't think this movie would have been as fun or enjoyable without Robert "Rocket" Rodriguez directing. He just kicks ass. The scenes with the fireworks going off at the football game were beautifully shot, and the monster scenes were also fantastic, especially the shot in the locker room where the monster barrels after the kid and whole banks of lockers go flying through the air. The swimming pool scene was also pretty impressive. Also, maybe it wasn't original compared to, say, older horror films such as Re-Animator and The Thing, but compared to most of the teen horror film s--t that has been put out recently that has been so trendy, this is much more original. For instance, the fact that drugs are used as a weapon against the aliens (I think this is what really pissed off so many of the parents who rant about banning the movie) was great and refreshingly un-PC. The cast was also good, especially most of the Faculty members/aliens such as BeBe Neuwirth and Piper Laurie. The kids were all pretty good actors. The effects were mind-blowing, and I'm glad they mixed animatronics with CGI. (I'm noticing less and less animatronics in horror films and more CGI as the years go by, and that kind of disturbs me...I can imagine that years from now, movies will be put out that feature not only CGI effects but CGI actors. OK, I'm scaring myself) Also, the fact that if the Queen alien is killed, that the rest of the infected aliens will turn back into the humans they were annoyed me at first, but when I thought back on it was original. Also, it doesn't have one of those lame "the end...or is it?" type endings that leaves room for a sequel. Gotta admire that. Definitely worth a rental...don't forget the popcorn.

Summary: Great little movie
Review: I was pretty impressed by the story line and the whole time I was glued to the screen not wanting to miss a secon of it. The cast had good chemistry and the acting was pretty impresive as well for actors in that age group. I strongly suggest you watch this movie if your feeling let down by the substandard movie like Disturbing behavior and urban legend. Noteworthy performance by the actors who played Stokely, Zeke and Stan. John Stewart had anice little role in the movie as well.
