The premise

When creepy things start happening at Herrington High, the students begin to suspect that their faculty is being controlled by body-snatching aliens.

Horror Vault's take

Something is very wrong at Herrington High — the teachers are acting stranger than usual, and a misfit group of students starts to wonder if an otherworldly force has taken hold of the faculty. As suspicion spreads and no one can be trusted, these unlikely allies must figure out who among them is still human. Kevin Williamson's sharp, self-aware script gives this creature-feature thriller a witty edge, while director Robert Rodriguez keeps the tension and creature chaos cranked high.
