They Live

1988

John Carpenter

Must-See, Aliens, Not Scary

​

We are putting this in the category of must-see classic; the film is very low on the scare factor but it more than makes up for it in atmosphere and action.
The director does a great job at world building using a somewhat hard to recognize 1980’s Downtown Los Angeles and a great accompanying score.
Without giving too much away… the film is a commentary on our society, and a reaction to Ronald Reagan’s politics.
The clothing brand ‘Obey’ is obviously inspired by the film.
Features Keith David, Meg Foster, and wrestler Roddy Piper.
