TRUTH has proven FAR more Frightening than Fiction!
I sure wish ANYONE would have taken John Carpenter seriously. This was to have been a cautionary tale, not a "How-To." Thanks to collective educational impoverishment, apathy, and ignorance, this movie currently needs to be re-shelved to the "DOCUMENTARY" section. Visitors now currently occupy all levels of Supervisory Leadership positions in the United States. Here in real life, all of John Nada's attempts have been unsuccessful. Frank Armitage STILL REFUSES to put on the glasses!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great sci-fi/horror classic
Great movie! It's a little comical to see "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as a main character but he plays a great role. Another classic by John Carpenter. I have a tendency to look into things a little different myself and it was refreshing to watch a movie with a different view on things in the world. Highly recommend watchingVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

A counter-culture classic!
"They Live" is a must see for any fan of films like "The Matrix," or even "12 Monkeys" or "Brazil." A classic counter-culture piece, and a scathing and perhaps cynical social criticism, masquerading as a sci-fi horror flick. It points out the phony, superficial facade of our modern materialist culture, and the control system of the power elite, keeping the middle and lower classes busy and distracted, happily turning our hamster wheels to generate wealth for them. On the surface, the hero, played by Rowdy Roddy Piper, finds a pair od specially designed sunglasses that let him see through the mind-altering, consciousness/awareness blocking mind-control signal broadcast by an alien race who has taken over control of human society in secret and uses us as livestock. As his eyes are opened, he is soon discovered, and hunted. He must find allies and try to find a way to fight back, and ultimately show the world what they've been missing! Incidentally, notice the source of a certain street-artist-turned-corporate-emperor's iconic "obey" brand...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Really Entertaining
This movie has become a meme in some places on the internet. It's about "class division" and the "glasses" give the main character a view into "reality." A very similar metaphor between the pills Neo is presented from Morpheus in The Matrix. Rowdy Roddy Piper wasn't a great actor by any stretch of the imagination but he somehow pulled off being an everyday joe and superhero pretty convincingly in this film. It's somehow simple and complex at the same time...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A movie that makes you think with everything that is happing in 2021!!!
I saw this movie when it first came out. The special effects are pretty average for the day but the story is great and it really moves along. If you want to see a movie that is good and is also topical in today's climate, at least for us conspiracy theorists, this is the one to watch. Roddy Piper was awesome!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

They lived then and they live now!
I’ve seen this movie a few times a long time ago and it’s really entertaining. I love rowdy roddy piper and the story has a lot to do with what is happening now a days with all the government censorship and brainwashing. They lived then and they live now! Great movie!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Socially Relevant Entertainment
This film is becoming a cult classic and is a thinly veiled expose of the underbelly of corporate media and politics today. A timeless and perpetually relevant film in keeping with Fahrenheit 451 and 1984. John Carpenter's tentacles grab you right away and retired WWF star Rowdy Roddy Piper makes a stellar performance. A truly revolutionary work of art. A bizarre portent in one scene where on old TV broadcast shows two fallen, smoldering buildings among other weird present day parallels. Spooky!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
