Description: One simple construction worker Nadeau (he also played in Motel Hell), who is not very lucky in life, found unusual sunglasses. Donning them, he gets the opportunity to see the world like it is.

Reality is scary! It turns out that the government and the media bombard people with hidden messages, acting on a subconscious level, “Sleep,” “Do not let the imagination”, “Obey the authorities.”

And even worse, Nadeau saw the true colors of many politicians and important members of society! They are not people at all, but the ugly and evil aliens from the planet Andromeda. Their mission on Earth – to carry out a massive campaign to subjugate the will of earthlings and keep people in the dark …

Nadeau has to find people who, like him, know the true state of things (who else could make these wonderful glasses?) And join their resistance movement to fight!

You’ll love this film if your a fan of dystopian films or scifi flicks, it’s a story about rebellion, subliminal mind messages, and alien ghoul-like creatures.  And it’s written by John Carpenter (Escape From New York) so what could go wrong.

Review of They Live: Generally, horror movies are created in order to scare the viewer, to instill in him a sense of anxiety and fear. I do not know whether to put a goal to John Carpenter to create exactly the kind of movie or not, because from the perspective of the present day it is difficult to judge. But one thing is very likely – to instill in the viewer a sense of fear was not the sole purpose of making the film “Aliens Among Us”. Carpenter wanted to force the viewer to think. It might seem like a horror movie can make them think? Certainly many people who have not seen the movie, this fact seems incredible. But it is.

The plot of the film They Live tells us the story of the life of an ordinary builder who one day finds a very unusual sunglasses. Donning them, he experiences a state of great turmoil. Of course! After all, he found his glasses reveal the terrible truth that he had no idea until that moment. It turns out that our planet captured by aliens who are trying to influence the earthlings. For example, through outdoor advertising they affect people’s subconscious slogan “Eat,” “Do not let the imagination,” “subject to the authority!”. All of this can be seen only through the sunglasses, the naked eye can not see anything. Discouraged by the main character begins to search for the people who created these glasses and Marshall plan to deal with the aliens …

I think many of you already understand the meaning that John Carpenter invested in this movie. Would like to mention that this movie actually in our time in terms of meaning, but, unfortunately, out of date in terms of special effects. Although it seems to me that the special effects in this movie – not the most important thing.

From the negative side would also like to mention the slowness of some scenes. In particular, the fight scene heroes Roddy Piper and Keith David is stretched very tightly and could easily be cut three times.

The rest of the film pleasantly pleased. Emphasizing good game actors and final – happy and on the other hand, a little bit sad.

“They Live” – a film that leaves a pleasant impression after viewing and makes the viewer think. I recommend to view not only to fans of horror movies or fans of John Carpenter, and a wider range of film enthusiasts.
