Review – The Faculty

Oh, rats. The students are onto us. I figured it was only a matter of time before they finally realized that teachers everywhere are actually vicious space aliens out to pull an Invasion of the Body Snatchers routine on them. Guess it was just too good to last. Seriously, though, I suppose the film-makers here think they can get away with a dull reheat of the whole body snatchers thing – with a hearty dose of The Thing thrown in for good measure – based on the assumption that aiming it toward high school students will give the movie an audience not yet familiar with the clichés. Some of the effects are kinda cool, good for an occasional shot that works. Otherwise most folks over the age of 17 or so will probably get more out of the original films than this repetitive outing. See if desperate
