Eminently rentable., 5 June 2001



Any movie where Jon Stewart is stabbed in the eye with a vial containing hallucinogens -- and then subsequently melts into a puddle of white goo -- has got something going for it. The Faculty happens to have this and more, with the "more" including a sharp young cast, a semi-clever script by Kevin Williamson, and an array of well-deployed special effects. Thankfully,the film understands that it is a pastiche of earlier, better movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The Thing," so it spends its time wisely, moving the narrative along quickly and referencing its predecessors whenever possible. The camp value of the supporting cast (Salma Hayek, Robert Patrick, and the great Piper Laure) is considerable, and there are some great deadpan moments, as when the identity of the evil alien leader is finally revealed. Robert Rodriguez is a good and intelligent filmmaker, and while it's likely that the audience for this film won't appreciate some of the nuances, it's silly and insubstantial enough that most anyone will like it. Not scary by any means, but useful as a jumping-off point for younger horror fans and probably the last decent script Kevin Williamson will pen post-"Scream." I don't usually do number ratings, but I'm thinking 7.5.
