Review of The Faculty (1998) by Sean L — 02 Apr 2009
I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed this movie. There isn't an original frame in it, but it blends together a lot of different influences into a thoroughly enjoyable package. This is basically another remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and frankly, any version of that story works for me, although I haven't seen The Invasion.
The Faculty certainly has humorous elements to it, but some of the suspenseful scenes really creeped me out. I wasn't crazy about the ending and the scene which is clearly a take off of the blood test scene in The Thing pretty much fell flat.
Other than that I really liked the movie. I didn't even hate Josh Hartnett in it, although maybe that's because his part is fairly small. Who knows if I'll even remember it in a few days, but while it was happening I really enjoyed it.
