Caught this one on Prime or something a couple of months back, first time I'd seen it since the theatre. It holds up pretty well compared to other "look at this cast!" poster films from the 90's.

I see Shout kept the same floating head montage artwork style that was on the Mill Creek BD release. I wonder if that decision was made purposefully as some kind of retro homage or just a lazy quickie thing.

It ties into the movie poster art.

I rewatched this last year after not seeing it since it was in the cinemas. I remember it had a lot of hype behind it at the time. Kevin Williamson was enjoying the kind of hype Jos Whedon would get a few years later, Rodriguez was on a hot streak. I was pumped. Then the film? A bit meh. My rewatch came with a lot less expectations but I still felt it was a curiously flat film. Feels lower budgeted than you would expect it to be.

Agreed. It should've been much better.

Class of 1999 did it way better and 8 years earlier.

I was a bit disappointed in The Faculty at the time. A flavour of the month director and a hot shit screenwriter produced an unremarkable movie. It wasn't bad, but pretty unoriginal.

For slick, mainstream horror it is better made than most.

Without spoiling anything (I hope), I always felt it was weird that the poster left out a pretty important character. That's all I'll say about that.
