In an
Ohio high school, the faculty begins exhibiting strange behavior
including dressing sexy and drinking copious amounts of H2O. The
behavior seems to be spreading to the students as well, and soon the
handful of students left must fight for their lives or be converted
as well to what they believe is an alien invasion.
Pretty much
a next-gen rip-off of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, although the
film does well in admitting the fact. Of course, this version has no
deeper political points unlike the original, this is pure and simple
a fangoria fright flick. As scare flicks go, this isn't too scary
although it certainly is high on gore and may turn off the squeemish.
The cast is likeable and gets lots of help from an impressive
supporting cast which includes Salma Hayek, Piper Laurie, Jon
Stewart, Bebe Neuwirth, and Robert patrick (the T-1000 from T2). Not
a good film by any stretch of the imagination, but young horror
lovers in search of a no-brainer fright flick may have fun with their
friends watching this film.
