Product Description:
STUDENTS AT HERRINGTON HIGH ARE FORCED TO PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND BAND TOGETHER AFTER THEY BEGIN TO SUSPECT THAT THEIR TEACHERS ARE BEING TAKEN OVER BY AN ALIEN LIFE FORM TRANSMITTED THROUGH A MYSTERIOUS INFECTION IN THIS HORRIFYING HIGH SCHOOL HORRO TALE.
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

Great movie. Good actors helped make this movie and sometime the comedy shots were a great add to the movie.

I have this movie on vhs tape. I just watched half of this movie on tv. I was interested to see how others rated this movie. I don't know any of the actors names right off hand, but there are some very good actors in the movie. The football coach character was in Terminator two and also in the X Files. He was an excellent character in the flick. John Stewart was also quite good in his role as a teacher. The actress who played "Lilith" or Frasier Crane's wife on Cheers was quite good. And how could ... Read More

Usually movies about aliens don't appeal well to me, but this is the only major exception. It's great for a sci-fi movie of its time, and it never gets old. Hopefully someday they'll release it with the deleted scenes!
