Review of They Live (1988) by Corey N — 16 May 2010
This film has a great concept but overall the film fails in the end. The basic plot is we have aliens living among us controlling our thoughts through subliminal messages on billboards and television. Roddy Piper famous for his wrestling days is the star of the film.
His character discovers the alien plot in the film. The movie has some good wise cracks and some solid action. The F/X is okay for the film. It is the ending that does not make the grade. The end seemed rushed and not well done.
I would like to see a remake of this film some time. Worth a watch for any fan of Roddy Piper or John Carpenter movies.
