Review of They Live (1988) by Mark K — 02 Oct 2012
An incredibly perplexing movie. The Orwellian concept was perfectly suited to a director of Carpenter's singular talents, but its execution leaves much to be desired. The effects are atrocious, especially when compared to those in stronger Carpenter efforts like The Thing, and the decision to cast professional wrestler Roddy Piper as the blue collar hero Nada was bizarre.
