_**Wannabe edgy high school horror satire with a notable cast**_Several students at a high school in Ohio suspect that the faculty has been taken over by some… thing(s).
“The Faculty” (1998) was directed by Robert Rodriguez, who knows how to make slick, ‘cool’ horror flicks, as witnessed in “From Dusk Till Dawn” (1996) and “Planet Terror” (2007). “The Faculty” is cut from the same cloth except it goes too far over-the-top in its wannabe edgy depiction of high school life in Middle America, to the point that it can only be viewed as a satire or black comedy. This turned me off the first time I watched it but, if you roll with it, you can enjoy the movie to some degree.
The story doesn’t become compelling until the second half when a group of students team-up to tackle the unbelievable situation. It’s basically “The Hidden” (1987) set in a high school environment.
Laura Harris is the top female, although the overrated Jordana Brewster is also on hand, as well as Clea DuVall. Bebe Neuwirth looks great as the principal while Salma Hayek plays a nurse, but not enough is done with her (don’t expect the dance sequence of “From Dusk Till Dawn”). Meanwhile Famke Janssen appears as an intimidated teacher that has an entertaining metamorphosis.
On the other side of the gender spectrum, Shawn Hatosy is notable as the main protagonist; Josh Hartnett too as a chemical-obsessed older student. Robert Patrick from “Terminator 2” plays the vein-popping coach while Jon Stewart has a small role.
The film runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot in East Texas as follows: Austin (Herrington High School), Lockhart (high school parking lot, football field & town exteriors) and San Marcos.
GRADE: C+
Totally underrated, prime late 90s Sci-Fi/Horror/Comedy with an incredible cast that has somehow managed to stay under the radar even now, twenty years later on. _The Faculty_ is one of those movies I make everybody watch._Final rating:★★★½ – I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
Pretty entertaining
This is pretty much the typical slasher, with just one twist. It’s also helped by the fact that there’s other things going on than just a bunch of killings; there are conflicts between the characters from the very beginning, before the killing starts. This is pretty unique for a slasher, and it definitely helps the film become more interesting. The plot is interesting, well, more interesting than slasher plots usually are. The acting is pretty much all very good, the actors nearly all give top-notch performances. The special effects are good, and mostly pretty convincing. I’ve heard a lot of people complain that this movie is a ripoff of the Carpenter classic “The Thing”. While that film is the better of the two, this is by no means a simple ripoff. The plot in this is not the same, there are just a few striking similarities. I would rather think of it as a reference, something to honor Carpenter’s abilities – Rodriguez was inspired by Carpenter, after all. I would recommend this to pretty much anyone who enjoys slasher movies, sci-fi flicks, or crossovers of the two genres. It’s very enjoyable; the only thing I hated was that they had casted Elijah “babyface” Wood in one of the leads… oh well. You can’t always enjoy all aspects of a film. 7/10
Fast-Paced, Shrewdly Presses All the Viewer’s Buttons: Takes You on Quite a Cinematic Ride!
From PASTO, COLOMBIA-Via: L. A. CA; CALI, COLOMBIA+ORLANDO, FL The ONLY Tony Kiss Castillo on FaceBook!—————————Don’t you just hate those “friends” who belly laugh harder than anyone in the theater, and then, making conversation after the movie, you ask them, “Wow, you really enjoyed that, didn’t you?” and they snap back, “What, are you nuts? That was the worst flick I’ve seen in years!” Well, that’s definitely NOT me.
Despite priding myself on usually disliking a lot of the JUNK churned out by Hollywood, after seeing the FACULTY, and looking into the depths of my soul, I must admit, begrudgingly, it is a rather entertaining movie! Fast-paced, shrewdly pressing all the viewer’s buttons, in the right order, it does exactly what its producers want it to: Take you on a cinematic ride!
Still, I’d like to issue TWO Brief Warnings:
1) If You’re a Salma Hayek FAN…..Don’t Blink! (You just might miss her altogether!) T. O. S. T. = About 4 or 5 minutes!
2) DON’T See IT a Second Time! It’s like driving a car with no air in your tires! Believe me, I’ve tried it…Just doesn’t work!
…Certainly, the first time, though, you should have some good fun!
6*…ENJOY/DISFRUUTELA! (Even if it’s ONLY ONCE!)
