John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE
(R, 1987, 93 min)
A drifter (Roddy Piper) stumbles upon a pair of sunglasses that reveal a shocking truth: Earth is under the control of aliens who’ve disguised themselves as humans and are secretly manipulating the world. With the glasses, he can finally see through their disguise—catching sight of their grotesque, bug-eyed faces and the subliminal messages hidden in plain sight. This cult classic is a wild mix of mind-bending sci-fi, gritty action, and sharp humor. With its unforgettable one-liners, epic fight scenes, and a plot that hits harder today than ever, They Live is a nonstop ride that never stops delivering the thrills.
