The Faculty - R. Rodriguez - USA - (1998)

 


Plot from Imdb: "Six students are about to find out their teachers really are from another planet."

Great old-school fun in this College/SciFi movie from the 90's. Only watched it a few years ago, and I think this is amongst the best works of Rodriguez. The cast is really nice, with future stars like Josh Hartnett & Elijah Wodd. Nice to see also the always entertaining Robert Patrick, as the bad alien. It will remember a lot to the hardcore fans of the genre (aliens conspiracy), and as I watched it, some titles popped into my head, like "Invasion of the body snatchers" or "Night of the creeps". There is also a scene that's identical to one of the most famous scene in john Carpenter's "The Thing"... Good work from KNB, combining prosthetic with CGI. You can see that the screenwriter had a lot of fun turning every normal moral values from the school education upside down: the outcasts are the good guys, the teachers are evil, violence always helps, the cure of everything is dope...Needless to say that this more an homage to this kind of cult-classic movies than a cult classic itself, but still it's a lot of fun. If you want  American Alien football players  & blonde teenager girls with tentacles, you're in for a treat. Cheers !
