The Faculty Was SUPPOSED To Be The Next Scream

When the Faculty was produced, it was hot off the tails of teen slashers like Scream. All things considered The Faculty should have ben another box office smash for Dimension Films. But what happened? Why did a movie made with such star power in front and behind the camera fail? How did a movie with all the ingredients of Scream flop so hard?

This movie is so underrated, in my opinion, "Breakfast Club" meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." I love how Mary Beth is the only main character who doesn't have a Breakfast Club counterpart. Foreshadowing at its finest...

I absolutely loved this film as kid. It's sad that most people don't even know what it is when you talk about it though. It's a really underrated gem, in my opinion.

Grew up watching this movie, and I’ve always thought it was horribly underrated. It’s an excellent film.

[KlassicLoL]

The Faculty is underrated. It captures the energy of an old horror B Movie to perfection

[willfredfrancois]

I always felt like The Faculty was criminally underrated. This should of been a break out movie for all those stars. And you're right, Hollywood is scared to take risk like they did in the 80's/90's. Now we live in the perpetual land of remakes, reboots, and franchises.

I can't believe that you went through the cast without mentioning mr. Frodo himself.

The Faculty and it’s soundtrack came in just as I was entering high school, it embodied all of my anxieties about it. After seeing what high school was actually like, I would’ve preferred the killer alien brain slugs.

Disturbing behavior and faculty are so underrated . Love both of those films.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I didn’t even know it existed until a few years ago.

[moxiemaxie]

Its a cult classic and I'm glad it didn't get ruined by a forced studio sequel.

[unlikelyspore]

Well this hits right in the nostalgia bone.

The screening I saw this in was packed and everyone was up for it, total blast. One of Rodriguez's best movies. 👽

My university thesis was about high school representations in 90s films. The Faculty featured heavily so I watched it many, many times. Ha, good times. Seriously underrated little flick.

When I watched it as a middle schooler, I remember saying "This is Animorphs! Those are exactly like the Yeerks from Animorphs!" And all my friends cringed.

[arunbchill]

theater seats being filled isnt a good measure of a films quality. life goes on and sometimes people didn't even know a movie was out. this is one of my favorite flicks

Video: *in depth analysis of a cult classic*
My dumbass brain: "is that frodo?" 😂😂😂

[filmpositive]

This is a great 90's teen movie! Watched the VHS countless times.

[Masada]

The star of this movie was Jon Stewarts Goatee

[Chicago_Podcast_Authority]

Why do I keep finding out my favorite 90's movies were not hits at the time? 🤯

[ImmortalRimas]

The Faculty is such an underrated Film. My friends & I at the time felt like we were the only ones who loved it and it could have started a whole new sub-genre by being the first hard Sci-fi/Horror/Teen-Slasher
