Editorial Review:
This hip and edgy thriller from the director of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and the writer of SCREAM and SCREAM 2 sizzles with a hot young cast including Elijah Wood (THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy), Josh Hartnett (PEARL HARBOR), and R&B superstar Usher Raymond! When some very creepy things start happening around school, the kids at Herrington High make a chilling discovery that confirms their worst suspicions: their teachers really are from another planet! As mind-controlling parasites rapidly begin spreading from the faculty to the students' bodies, it's ultimately up to the few who are left -- an unlikely collection of loners, leaders, nerds, and jocks -- to save the world from alien domination! Also starring Robert Patrick (TERMINATOR 2), Famke Janssen (X-MEN), and Jon Stewart (TV's THE DAILY SHOW) in a great cast -- don't miss the unstoppable excitement of this unpredictably smart and scary hit!
With apologies to the tune "Ohio" by the Pretenders
At a High School in Ohio,
All the teaching staff was gone.
They were now hydrostatic ET's
Who had come here from a far.
It started with the Football coach,
But it was hard to tell
He was a whack- job to begin with
For players he made hell.
A. O., a high school in Ohio
But soon he got the Principal,
And all the teachers too
And soon the student body
Were all puppet-mastered too.
All though this movie's hackneyed,
It has some funny jewels,
A gross scene in the shower,
And a hot one (swimming pool)
A. O., a high school in Ohio
The cast are future "Stellars",
From acting and music too.
There's Usher though he doesn't sing
And that girl from 902...
Frodo before he got the ring
And that Android from T2
The Commandant from Malcolm,
And Frazier's Lilith too.
A. O., a high school in Ohio
The funny thing's these aliens
Really weren't all bad
They wanted all to be fulfilled ,
And not to live so sad.
They wanted kids to study harder
And to play harder on the team
And while this isn't Heinlein,
It also isn't "Scream"
A . O., a high school in Ohio
So here's the deal, it is a campy but not overly so version of the Puppet Masters, and not at all bad if you are in the right mood

So We Have The 137th Remake Of "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"
So we have another film from the guy that wrote "Scream", Kevin Williamson. I'm starting to think we have a "one hit wonder" on our hands, again. Sure, "Scream" was a pretty good thrill ride, but anything this guy wrote after "Scream 2" is pretty much a remake of everything else that has already been done. "Cursed" is every other werewolf movie that's already been done, why not do another "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"? Sorry, but this film is almost decent at best. Like I said, it's just another remake with a high school twist. I don't think I'll be seeing this again any time soon. 2008-08-12
Decent sci-fi thriller.
The Faculty starring Josh Hartnett, Elijah Wood, and Clea Duvall is a pretty good film about aliens. The ending is a little out there but overall I thought the special effects and music chosen for this film was cool. This film mostly takes place in high school so expect characters who are labeled as jock, pretty girl, nerd, and rebel. Give this underrated film a viewing, enjoy! 2008-07-19
should be a classic of some kind
I love this movie so worth getting shipped here, it's got everything except tear jerking moments (thankfully). It makes you hate people, laugh and jump once in a while. To me this is like the scream of invasion movies. 2008-07-09
Amazing
The movie was insane. even though it was made in 1998, the grafix were very much believable. along with all the stars in the movie. 2008-07-04
