Review of They Live (1988) by Akshatmahajan — 27 Jul 2021
From last few days, I have been watching John Carpenter's movie. I read alot of good things about this movie and watched it. I liked the idea of the movie and it was different for that time. For your info, this movie is now considered cult classic like Carpenter's other movies.
For me, the movie was nicely made and was dark and tense like Carpenter's other movies. There are some good tense scenes such as the climax scene. The suspense is also nicely built up and there are some surprises also.
If we talk about performances, everyone did their job nicely. Direction by John Carpenter was just like his other movies such as Halloween and The Thing. There were a few issues with the pacing but it will not effect the overall experience.
Overall, the movie is good and different for it's time. I want this movie to be remade just like Halloween so that we can enjoy the modern touch.
