Amazon.co.uk Review
Okay, you knew everyone in high school was just a little different: everyone looked at you strangely, the teachers were freaky, and you never could find the right groove to fit into. What if it turned out that it was all because your school was inhabited by creepy aliens from outer space? That's the enjoyably cheesy B-premise for this fun and scary flick from the pen of Scream's Kevin Williamson, the master of the post-modern teen horror film. Directed by Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi), it's The Breakfast Club meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, as six disparate students from Herrington High School band together when they discover that an alien life form is invading both the student and faculty bodies, with plans to take over the world.

Each of the heroes represents a different high school type: popular babe (Jordana Brewster), picked-on geek (Elijah Wood), goth girl (Clea DuVall), sensitive jock (Shawn Hatosy), new kid in town (Laura Harris), and bad-boy rebel (Josh Hartnett). The plot isn't much--a basic kill-or-be-killed premise spiked with a healthy shot of paranoia--but Willliamson and Rodriguez do a great job of building the tension slowly but surely. The suspense set pieces are genuinely frightening, and the film pokes fun at itself without deflating its scares; Williamson is a master at shifting gears from comedy to horror quickly and adroitly. The young cast doesn't have a weak link among them (with special kudos to Wood, DuVall and heartthrob-in-the-making Hartnett), and Rodriguez gets maximum mileage from the titular faculty, which includes Jon Stewart, Piper Laurie, Salma Hayek, Bebe Neuwirth, and Robert Patrick of Terminator 2. Go to the head of the class, Mr. Williamson. --Mark Englehart

4.0 out of 5 stars The Faculty, 18 Jan 2004
Entertaining is the one word I would use for this film. Yes it's cheesy and the kind of story has been done so many times before but do we really care when we just want to curl up with a movie.
I never gets boring and it's not too gorey.

Just a bit of fun really.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty decent , 31 Oct 2006
By sean paul mccann "mccanns23" (ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
the faculty tells the story of a high school that has been invaded by aliens and one by one staff and pupil get infected and while they retain their human personna are not quite the same as they were,all of the invasion is going to plan except for 6 misfits who resist the invasion and work out that something isnt right with the people that they once knew.starring hollywoods bright young hopes at the time in josh hartnett and elijah wood faculty is an entertaining film that even has a little twist to keep things interesting,while the script is weak at times the drama is fast paced and there is enough blood and kills to keep any gore fan ticking over.

4.0 out of 5 stars great movie, 25 Jan 2004
By A Customer
After being told that this movie was real bad I wasn't expecting it to be so good and my standards were set low. Yes its is quite corny and the special effects are dreadful but there is just something about it that is so very ingenius, its keeps you gripped without having to have all the state of the art computer graphics. The plot is real good and the casting is brilliant, lots of suspense and drama,not really for kiddies as there is a bit of drug use and quite a few bloody moments. lol.
