Review of The Faculty

The Faculty (1998)
1/10
A film for teenagers...or morons
15 January 1999
Maybe if I was 17 instead of 33 I would enjoy this film...I kinda doubt it though. I remember liking movies like "Westworld" and "Alien" when I was a teen and compared to "The Faculty" those films were pure genius. And unlike "The Faculty" those films still stand up and will still stand up 20 years from now. Unlike another reviewer's comments, "The Faculty" doesn't have an original bone it's decayed body. This hideous hybrid of "Aliens" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" mixed with "Scream" (and even the more obscure "Class of 1999") is so dumbed down it makes something like Beverly Hills 90210 seem like high art in comparison. Rodriquez has made only two films worth seeing, the ultra low budget, "El Mariachi" and the made for HBO, "The Roadracers." Everything else he's done is a bloated mess... this film hits a new low.
