"Faculty" erasure! "Faculty" erasure!! Ah, it's alright - I also mostly hated "Terrifier 3" so I'm glad to hear this is going to be a pretty good horror-comedy.
It's so funny that you should bring up The Faculty because there was just talk about a remake (yeah, I know) and I began wondering whether I had actually seen The Faculty. I think I have but it's been so long that I'd have to see it again to remember for sure. (Yes, I'm getting to that age.) But she's great in this movie... I actually didn't realize it was her!
A remake directed by the guy who wrote/directed "Companion," apparently. (Which I haven't seen yet... maybe this week.) I think it's probably one of the less egregious films to remake in 2025, because thematically you *could* imagine "The Faculty" with cell phones / TikTok - hell, you could even imagine "The Faculty" as a metaphor for TikTok, if you're creative enough - and "Euphoria" exists as a new aesthetic template. One obvious problem is that part of the joy of "The Faculty" is what an absurdly stacked cast it had, and it's hard to imagine a horror movie reboot in 2025 getting that level of megawatt celebrity. (Maybe they stunt-cast Josh Hartnett as one of the adults?)

I'm seeing it next week and am 'looking' forward to it. Thanks for your review (I agree with you on the Terrifier franchise).
