IMDb plot summary: When Casey Connor, Herrington High School's newspaper photographer, witnesses the murder of a nurse and sees her alive again, he decides to investigate the bizarre happenings.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Starring Jordana Brewster, Clea DuVall, and Laura Harris.
The Faculty is a light horror thriller set inside a high school where aliens are taking over -- well, the faculty. A small group of students figure it out and try to find a way to defeat them before they take over the whole school and then the world. This is exactly the goofy gooey teen horror I wanted it to be, with lots of aesthetically fun (if not wholly realistic) effects showing the creatures taking over the teachers' bodies. The character development is light but just fun enough to make it easy to root for our heroes, and they lean in and out of their school stereotypes in some fun and surprising ways, which makes it extra fun when they're trying to figure out which of them may be an alien in disguise. Overall, an enjoyable fluffy watch.
