They Live movie was released Nov 06, 2012 by the Scream Factory studio. An economic crisis brings unemployed Nada (Roddy Piper) to L.A. in search of work. What he finds instead is that the ruling elite of the world are aliens in disguise, their aim being to keep humans in a state of mindless consumerism. His discovery comes when he dons a pair of special sunglasses made by a resistance group and sees for the first time reality unadorned.

Aimless drifter John Nada finds work as a construction worker in Los Angeles, where a wide gulf separates the upper classes from the working classes. After donning a pair of special sunglasses, Nada discovers that many of society's elite are not humans, but aliens who control humanity through subliminal messages. Now he's the only one who can save the Earth from these villainous invaders.



John Nada (Roddy Piper) is a quiet loner, a drifter who gets work where ever he can find it. While working on a construction site in L.A. and sleeping in a vagrant community at night, John stumbles upon a secret society of alien beings who pose as wealthy and powerful people in human society.   ...See Full Description

Average Rating: List All 21 Reviews (1) (0) Helpful? Good Story - Could Have Been Better The concept is this movie is pretty incredible. The idea that there are people around us who are not really what they seem gets pretty metaphysical. Also, times are hard and people are looking for employment which is quite relevant to current times. I give it three stars because I feel John Carpenter failed in one area. There is a pointless fight scene mid-movie that lasts close to a 10-minutes. It did not move the plot forward nor did it add any dimension to the movie. It was simply a cringing time filler. In light of that I do recommend the movie taking it for what it is worth...basically fun. By ychilds (Madison, WI)  This review is for a different format.

(2) (1) Helpful? John Carpenter's THEY LIVE Not one of John Carpenter's best but never the less one of the better sci-fi "B's" out of the eighties. This movie never rises above its B movie acting & production values however it does all come together to provide a surprisingly entertaining movie with a killer take on alien conspiracy theories. Watch this and you will realise that indeed 'They Live'. By pjmiller (Rockhampton, Australia)  This review is for a different format. (0) (0) Helpful? Big brother is from space. This movie has such a great plot. Using subliminal messages to keep the human race in line is so creepy and one might think its actually happening today. The acting is actually done well even by my man Rowdy Roddy. The fight scene of course is legendary in its length and this movie is the reason I always have bubblegum on me. By itstimmy2000 (Little Rock, AR)  This review is for a different format. (0) (0) Helpful? Better than it ought to be They live. This is one of those that everyone sees on cable for the first time and wonders, "When was this in theaters?" I don't know. Some scenes are overlong and some writing must have been late at night ("I've come to chew gum and kit ass, and I'm all out of gum", but overall, it works. Non scifi fans won't think much of this, but scifi enthusiasts like it just fine. By Bill (Houston, Texas, USA)  This review is for a different format. List All 21 Reviews  Have you seen this movie?
