The Faculty

Film


Apparently high school teachers really are from another planet! Though the story takes place at "Harrington High" in Ohio, the movie was filmed, by and large, at the Texas School for the Deaf in South Austin. Fortunately, the import of a quality high school education is not completely dismissed as the chemistry teacher comes to the rescue with a means for killing the alien-infected humans. So remember kids, reading may be fundamental, but science can save your butt!
