The Faculty (1998) [VHS] [Import] (1998)

Amazon.com
Okay, you knew everyone in high school was just a little different: everyone looked at you strangely, the teachers were freaky, and you never could find the right groove to fit into. What if it turned out that it was all because your school was inhabited by creepy aliens from outer space? That's the enjoyably cheesy B-premise for this fun and scary flick from the pen of Scream's Kevin Williamson, the master of the post-modern teen horror film. Directed by Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi), it's The Breakfast Club meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, as six disparate students from Herrington High School band together when they discover that an alien life form is invading both the student and faculty bodies, with plans to take over the world.

Each of the heroes represents a different high school type: popular babe (Jordana Brewster), picked-on geek (Elijah Wood), goth girl (Clea DuVall), sensitive jock (Shawn Hatosy), new kid in town (Laura Harris), and bad-boy rebel (Josh Hartnett). The plot isn't much--a basic kill-or-be-killed premise spiked with a healthy shot of paranoia--but Willliamson and Rodriguez do a great job of building the tension slowly but surely. The suspense set pieces are genuinely frightening, and the film pokes fun at itself without deflating its scares; Williamson is a master at shifting gears from comedy to horror quickly and adroitly. The young cast doesn't have a weak link among them (with special kudos to Wood, DuVall and heartthrob-in-the-making Hartnett), and Rodriguez gets maximum mileage from the titular faculty, which includes Jon Stewart, Piper Laurie, Salma Hayek, Bebe Neuwirth, and Robert Patrick of Terminator 2. Go to the head of the class, Mr. Williamson. --Mark Englehart

最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー   5つ星のうち 4.0 This is as good as any snatcher movie., 2006/2/16 By  the_bernie-at-tx-rr-com "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas, U.S.A.) - レビューをすべて見る The formula is the classic; someone is being "alienated." Naturally someone wants to put a “bug” in your ear as to which the person(s) is/are. Time is running out to find out what the problem is and how to correct it. As always the first to go is the authorities. All right you have seen it a million times and even the characters in the movie refer to "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) [see my review] and "The Puppet Masters" (1994). However it is not the plot but the carrying out of the plot or action that makes the movie. I was amazed to find this movie so professionally portrayed in the era of ersatz teenybopper knockoffs like "Sleepy Hollow" The characters were well chosen to portray the different Faculty and student types. Where have we seen Coach Willis (Robert Patrick) before? Can you say "Terminator Two"? Laura Harris is from Canada and this is Ohio so what doses that make her? (An Al…) You can not beat the descriptive names given to the characters. The movie is just down right fun and has a lot of "Don't do that" scenes makes you want to kibitz. コメント コメント | ブックマーク | このレビューは参考になりましたか？ はい いいえ (報告する)   1 人中、0人の方が、｢このレビューが参考になった｣と投票しています。 5つ星のうち 5.0 ケビン・ウィリアムソンの勝利, 2002/11/22 By  WARP (埼玉県所沢市) - レビューをすべて見る (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    オタクでゲイのケビン・ウィリアムソンによる脚本を濃いーい作風のロバート・ロドリゲスが監督。ちょっといつもよりも元気がなくて、あっさりした作風ですが「遊星からの物体x」をベースにとことん怪獣映画にしているところがさらにオタク。ヒロインのローラ・ハリスがとてもカワイイです。 コメント コメント | ブックマーク | このレビューは参考になりましたか？ はい いいえ (報告する) あなたの意見や感想を教えてください: 自分のレビューを作成する › すべてのカスタマーレビューを見る（2 件）		カスタマーレビューの検索 この商品のカスタマーレビューだけを検索する
