A group of students suspect that their teachers have been overtaken by alien creatures, they have to overcome their differences, and unite if they're to save the school and humanity.
Imagine being in school, and daydreaming about invasion of The Body snatchers, that's what comes to mind when I think of The Faculty. I think this film has aged quite well, I think I prefer it now to when I originally saw it back in 1998.
It's bags of fun, it's over the top, it's camp, it's sexy, it's got more stereotypes than you could ever dream of, where else could you see a film where drugs save the world.
There are some genuinely good horror sequences, I've always enjoyed the opening, it's very creepy.
It's interesting to see how this film served as a vehicle for so many up and coming stars, it is quite literally loaded with talent, literally and physically, that 1990's era where only beautiful people went to school. The likes of Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Jordana Brewster and Josh Hartnett.
Robert Patrick is excellent as the coach, not long before he'd take join The X Files.
7.5/10.
