Review of The Faculty

The Faculty (1998)
1/10
ten year old movie stereotypes and cheesy special effects don't work anymore.
23 January 1999
I'm not sure what i hated more about this movie, the fact that everything was stolen from somewhere else, or that the writers didn't even do that right. The tagline "The Breakfast Club meets The X-Files" couldn't be further from the truth. To even mention The Faculty in the same sentence with those two degrades them both. The Faculty's plot is full of holes and scientific oversights that keep it from being a respectable science fiction film. Also, it uses the same stereotypes for high school students that were beaten to death in the eighties. There were several pitiful attempts to raise emotion in the viewer by portraying the poor high school student suffering some grave injustice at the hands of his elders. Overall it was a poorly made film cashing in on the newly revived teenage market.

On the other hand, it did have few cute girls.
