After the first two scream films were released at the cinema and became huge hits the writer of them Kevin Williamson became hot property in Hollywood and wrote the faculty and I remember at the time the huge hype this film generated and how desperate I was to go see it at the cinema.

The Faculty was originally released over ten years ago now and combines science fiction and horror in what I have to say in my opinion is a pretty successful way. This movie was really aimed towards the sort of Scream type audiences with the shock value prominent throughout. I found the movie enjoyable when I watched it on DVD ...  Read the complete review

I used to go the cinema every week when I was younger, it meant that as well as watching the films I really wanted to see I could experiment and check out films that looked quite interesting but probably weren't really to my tastes. The faculty was one such film, I rented it on Lovefilm recently to reminisce and see if it was still a ...  Read the complete review

Robert Rodriguez is one of the most diverse and interesting filmmakers working today - from this low-budget origins in films such as El Mariachi and Desperado, to Spy Kids, to his more recent outing Planet Terror, he's dabbled in a variety of genres. One of the lesser works attributed to his canon is The Faculty, a B-movie-esque science ...  Read the complete review

Robert Rodriguez's 1998 film The Faculty is a decent teen horror/sci-fi film with an impressive cast and a god plot. The film came at a time when teen films were the rage in the mid-90s. This, mixed with the sci-fi element, gives us a thoroughly entertaining hour and a half of suspense and alien horror! A serious of bizarre ...  Read the complete review

I think I was attracted to this film when it was on TV because I saw it had Josh Hartnett in, rather than the fact it's about aliens. I missed the last half hour when we had a powercut (typical!) so I ended up buying it on DVD because I really wanted to see how it concluded. I must admit, even though I don't usually go for films with ...  Read the complete review

I watched this when I was baby sitting with my sister once and I have to say that it was really good. The only problem is the begining kind of put me off as it is a bit gruesome. The basic storyline is that a group of high school kids notice strange things happening at their high school. They then investigate and come to ...  Read the complete review

As you would have probably guessed by the title, The Faculy is a thriller about aliens. It is rated 15 for the reasons that a lot of blood and guts are involved in the film. The Faculty stars Josh Hartnett (Pearl Harbor) along with a few others. There is quite a basic plot and it is very obvious throughout the film who the culprit is. ...  Read the complete review

Anyone ever heard of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'? Well this is simply that film, rehashed for the modern day. Not that it means it's useless, far from it, just the plot isn’t what you would call original! Bearing in mind that the director made Scream and Scream 2 you should have a good idea of the nature ...  Read the complete review

Quite a few film fans were quite excited when the 'in' writer of Scream and Director Robert Rodriguez were working together on a film that was pitched as a sci-fi horror flick that echoed Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The end result is 'The Faculty', it's an entertaining film and better than most of the ...  Read the complete review

The Faculty is another one of those films with a cast full of hip, trendy and good-looking teenagers, however this film is different, it is actually quite good! It is from the write of ‘Scream’ and ‘Scream 2’ so what would you expect? The plot is not the most original and seems as if it is based on ...  Read the complete review

The Faculty, in essence, is like every young child’s dream, or nightmare, that being that their teachers are all aliens. The Faculty picks up on this and shows us this upbeat, if slightly laughable horror/sci-fi romp. Kevin Williamson (Scream, Scream 2, Halloween H20...bit of a trend here) is responsible for the ...  Read the complete review
