Summary: The Best movie!
Review: I honestly thought that this is one of the best movies I ever saw. I'm a huge fan of Josh Hartnett and his talent really stood out and so did it for the other actors. It's one of my favs and a good movie for teen horror lovers. I would give this a million stars if I could!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Sci-Fi That's Worth a Watch
Review: Watching the preview for this movie you already start to feel hyped. This is not just another "alien" story. The Faculty has a lot of twists and turns that keep it going on. It is thrilling throughout after watching it tons and tons of times. It carresses a charisma and is very down to earth. Also its cast is just awesome (Josh and Elijah). I LOVED IT!

Summary: Stay Young.......that's if you survive!!
Review: After Scream there was The Faculty....and what a masterpiece by Kevin Williamson. This movie takes the brilliance of Scream but creates a new formula. Instead of stalk n slash teen terror we have a high school being taken over by aliens and the terror of not knowing who's an alien and who isn't. It has a killer cast including Elijah Wood as the cute Geek, Josh Hartnett as the cool bad boy and Jordana Brewster as the popular girl. The teachers are walking the halls preying on students but some of the students have other ideas how to battle them before they are the only normal people left. Well done Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Williamson!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Directionless, with little real interest.
Review: This movie doesn't really deserve to be seen. It trades on the popular interest in aliens of any kind, combined with the always-ready backdrop of a high school environment, with the underdog yet genius school kids pulling the trump card against their teachers. The storyline is very weak, with little external development, which lends to the movie an 'empty' air that is not filled by any amount of attempted drama in the lighting or soundtrack.

Watching 'The Faculty' is a strange experience, neither remotely frightening nor absorbing, the cast flit through their roles rapidly and do not entice the viewer into the action. As a take-off of 'The Terminator' or 'Alien' it is faulted and unconvincing, and fails dreadfully in any way to hold water as a serious movie of any kind. The only people who could justifiably watch this would be sold-out aficionados of Elijah Wood, of which I am sure there are many. His performance, such as it can be given the material he has to work with, is excellent, as is that of the rest of the younger cast (particularly DuVall and Hartnett), but if Mr Wood or Mr Hartnett don't up your heart-o-meter whenever you see them on screen, then don't give this movie any of your valuable time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Movies Ive Ever Seen - The Faculty
Review: The Faculty - possibly one of the best films ever created. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It was both thrilling and in some parts funny. The cast was great, especially Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett. Josh Hartnetts role was great. It would have been great to have some good special features on the DVD, but I would buy it simply because it is a great movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!
Review: The Faculty was or is one brilliant horror film, i was so excited to know what happens next thoughout the whole movie. It had quite a few scary bits that made me jump yet they did make me laugh. During the part where all five of the pupils decided to take the drug to make sure none of them were aliens made me laugh so much because when Casey (elijah Wood) started laughing (it sounded funny) set me off....im going to be honest...but i loved Casey because he alone had the guts to stop the queen of the aliens taking over everyone in the school..he was alone, the other four were aliens, however in the end they came back to normal.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Superb Horror Movie - Guaranteed To Be A Classic!
Review: The movie The Faculty has to be one of my all time favorite horror movies. It has great acting, suprising twists and turns, and a great new cast.

When the teachers and faculty at a high school start acting strange, start to believe the unbelievable...That their aliens!
Led with a group of unlikely kids, (consisting of Jocks, Loners, Nerds, and Popular kids), must help rid their small town of aliens. Led with a new cast of Famke Jansen, Usher, Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett and Jordana Brewster, this film is non stop fun from beining to end!

' Region 1 encoding (US and Canada only)
' Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen

Summary: Hey Teachers!, Leave Them Kids Alone!.
Review: Let's start off by saying that it was a nice, fresh twist to have a teen horror film that wasn't a slasher film. I prefer the slasher ones, but this will do. Kevin Williamson from "Scream" and Robert Rodriguez from "Desperado" and "From Dusk Til Dawn" team up for this sci-fi/horror teen film about a bunch of high schoolers who find out that the faculty at their school have been overtaken from some outer space parasite. The one thing this film has going for it is the cast. We get a lot of great seasoned performers : Piper Laurie, Robert Patrick, Salma Hayek, Jon Stewart, Bebe Neuwirth, Famke Jenssen, and Christopher MacDonald. The kids are all good. Jordana Brewster is an instant eye catcher. There is nothing new here, but the sharp direction and choreography, as well as the solid cast make it decent enough. Pretty average.
