Advantages: A great idea for an alien movie

Disadvantages: Surely someone would have gone for real help?

The faculty is a good example of a late 1990's teenage horror sci fi flick...milder than the Scream films it focusses on the takeover of a school by aliens who take over people in a gruesome way (and without wishing to spoil it...it is worth waiting to see it!).

The film is reminiscent of the Body Snatcher movies...only a few kids can really see whats going on and try hard to save others from what is happening, but obviously the aliens being clever little blighters have infiltrated all the right people...

The group of teenagers soon realise what they have to do to save everyone and have to confront possibly the biggest and ugliest thing you will ever see. It is great, well made with CGI and puppetry work and in terms of cinematic monsters...its a gem!

There are some highly memorable scenes in this film. I loved the alien in the swimming pool and also the scene when they discover that one of the gang may not be who they think they should be........

In terms of the genre it is ok, it has enough action to keep us interested and a good soundtrack throughout the film.

I am so glad though that the teachers at my school were not like this!

Summary: A good all round 90's romp of a film
