Review of They Live (1988) by Mike B — 24 Sep 2012
A better film than you would expect. Piper is quite good in a campy, humorous way. The special effects are dated, but the story remains relevant. The subliminal elements are actually in play in the world today, and were used to effect in Fight Club as well.
Pretty darned good for the budget, and turns up cyclically on cable. Well worth a view. A minor classic that still works.
