Member Rating:  
Miramax Films darlings Robert Rodriguez and screenwriter Kevin Williamson teamed up for a high-school alien-horror film that they described as The Breakfast Club meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Dilapidated Herrington High is the location for a story about a school faculty taken over by outer-space creatures, forcing the students to take charge and kick some alien butt. School faculty members (Robert Patrick, Bebe Neuwirth, Salma Hayek, and Jon Stewart) are infested with rapidly reproducing space worms that take over their minds and bodies. But never fear, because at this school, between hazing the student body and having sex in the locker room, a Scooby-Doo-ish group of high school students is ready to fight back. The up-and-coming acting talent includes R&B singer Usher Raymond, Elijah Wood, Clea DuVall, Josh Hartnett, Shawn Hatosy, Laura Harris, and Jordanna Brewster. The story is nearly irrelevant, as the real stars are the action and lots of special effects. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

    Worth watching because we can all relate to having atleast one teacher in High School that we thought was a little freakish.

    Blood: 1 Cheese Factor: 5+ Acting: 4 Overall: 4 Ewww, that old lady in the movie is gross. Flat out gross! In my opinion not many films can pull of a good 'alien' themed movie. (besides the movie Alien) But I think this movie does an above average job, mind you it has its high cheese factor though. I can definetly say use an open mind and you'll like this horror flick!
