Release Date: 25 Dec 1998

Run Time: 104 minutes

Origin: USA

Mimi's Rating: 3 water bottles out of 5

 

    Invasion of the Body Snatchers for Millennials.

    A group of high school students discover that their teachers have been replaced by creatures from outer space. Will these kids stop the alien invasion? Find out in: The Faculty!

    I needed more of the actual Faculty in the movie, especially Robert Patrick as Coach Wilson. The rest of the cast is pretty solid. 

    Lots of references to classic sci-fi films and some decent humour, but that CGI did not age well.

    In all, it's a decent bit of '90s nostalgia that sadly misses the mark with its finale.

These are reminiscent of the little whip-like tentacles from The Thing.

Why you should watch:

  • You enjoy references to classic sci-fi.
  • 90's nostalgia.
  • There's a decent cast here.  

Why you shouldn't watch:

  • You could say that the ending is bullshit.
