A nice mix of horror and sci-fi clichés in high school

"The Faculty" is called "The Breakfast Club" meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" mixed with everything you've ever seen on screen from high school to science fiction. Something has infected a small community in Texas where a parasite out of the skies hits a high school with students and teachers becoming victims with only a group of outcasts doing something about the situation. Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down) plays the druggie/secret genius who has a major affection for nerdy teacher (Famke Janssen); Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) is the geek who gets his groin crunched by the flagpole who thinks that his alien paranoia has come to life; Clea Duvall (no relation to Robert Duvall) is a student who has people questioning if she's a lesbian; Laura Harris is the new student taking interest in Josh Hartnett; Shawn Hatosy is a jock who wants to concentrate on academics while Jordana Brewster (The Fast and the Furious) is the "It" girl. The film is directed by Robert Rodriguez while the screenplay is written by Kevin Williamson in which like Scream has big references to everything.

Overall, a cool flick.
