This is a review i did for IMDB but thought more people would read it on here.
How many of us when at school have wished our teachers would change. This film takes this idea and goes one better,what if our teachers were possessed by aliens? In an average mid-American town and in an average middle-American school a group of nerds and jocks realise that their teachers and half of the pupils have changed and not for the better. School nerd Elijah Woood and lonely sci-fi obsessed Clea Duvall,join up with the captain of the football team,Shawn Hatosy,the school bad boy Josh Hartnett,the snooty Jordana Brewster and the new girl played brilliantly by Laura Harris and try to find the queen of the aliens.If they kill her then every one will return to normal as the alien drones possessing them will die with their queen. This may be a teen movie at heart but with two of the masters of today,Kevin Williamson and Robert Rodriguez joining forces to write the screenplay and direct,respectively, then you are going to get a film most certainly not just for teens. This film has it all.Violence ,suspicion, alien invasion and very brief nudity.I personally think this is one of the best alien invasion films ever. Elijah Wood,in his pre_hobbit days,shows signs of future greatness but he is well supported by a good young supporting cast. If you have never seen this film then you should. Just keep in mind what one of the characters said at the end,"how can you be sure what you saw" and remember,TRUST No one
I have to say this is my fave teen movie ever and a masterclass in how to do a scifi film
Feel free,if you've seen it ,to disagree lol
