Variety
Results may not be Nobel Prize material, but they're zesty and cogent. - 80
Chicago Reader
Rodriguez's unironic directing brings out the complexity of characters painfully aware of the stereotypes they represent and allows this gripping, scary, and romantic movie to offer more than factoids about other movies the filmmakers have seen too many times. - 80
L.A. Weekly
A tight blend of self-awareness, humor and fear. - 78
Austin Chronicle
A slam-bang, sci-fi actioner, relentlessly paced and edited, with a pounding soundtrack and some ingenious aliens courtesy of Berni Wrightson and KNB Effects. - 70
Film Threat
It looks like Williamson threw five old scripts in the air and Rodriguez shot the first 90 pages he picked up. I'd like a little more meat on my burger because all I can taste is the cheese. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
In a strange way the Williamson of "Dawson's Creek" is now at odds with the sophisticated joker who wrote "Scream." - 50
San Francisco Examiner
The Faculty deserves a week of detention, not so much for missing the point as for blunting it. - 50
