The Faculty Rotten Tomatoes
Critics in 1998 dismissed this as derivative. The consensus was that Rodriguez and Williamson were just copying the Scream blueprint but swapping Ghostface for extra-terrestrials. But looking back, that critique misses the point. The Faculty is a lean, efficient machine. It isn't trying to be Invasion of the Body Snatchers ; it is trying to be The Breakfast Club with tentacles.
: Reviewers generally found it "listless," "predictable," and lacking the wit needed for a school-based satire. the faculty rotten tomatoes
