A smart, lively and unpretentious exploitation picture...Consistently funny and clever.
Results may not be Nobel Prize material, but they're zesty and cogent.
This alien high school sci-fi tale has clever wit, clever FX.
Sly and very savvy.
It's an awfully enjoyable, hip little B-movie.
Since the codes of science fiction are different from horror's cant, the patented Williamson method doesn't make a perfect fit with the material; Faculty's fun, but less fun than it could be.
In a strange way the Williamson of "Dawson's Creek" is now at odds with the sophisticated joker who wrote "Scream."
