Overview
When some very creepy things start happening around school, the kids at Herrington High make the chilling discovery that confirms their worst suspicions: their teachers really are from another planet!
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slick, high-energy sci-fi horror romp that turns high school social hierarchies and paranoia into genuine dread. It's genuinely creepy one moment and gleefully absurd the next, with teenagers discovering their teachers are alien parasites and becoming unlikely heroes.

Reviews
90s teen horror is my favorite subgenre of horror, and it's not even close.
The Faculty is Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets the Breakfast Club. Josh Hartnett is a drug dealer who also knows a lot about science. Elijah Wood drinks a juice box alone on the bleachers. Shooter McGavin is there. For some reason Usher is also there and got a spot on the movie poster instead of Mary Beth, an actual main character, which is a little messed up.
My only complaint is the final scene has some epilogue choices that are a bit much.
