Reviews for The Faculty
The Kevin Williamson formula (rewrite familiar horror scenarios and have the characters note the familiarity) has gotten to be a bore, and in this case it makes no sense.
A crappy teen horror movie, but in director Robert Rodriguez's hands it's at least agreeably crappy.
A moviegoer looking for an empty-headed waste of time could do worse.
