YOU EITHER LOVE OR YOU HATE IT... I LOVE IT.

The title says it all. This is one of those films that most people like but won't admit to it. It has one of the more believable 'alien invasion' plots and at least it could theoretically work.

Carpenter is one of the most underated directors of our time- (The Thing, Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China) these are great films, but They Live is so full of goodness it's like an apple pie. Yes he has made some truly awful films but who hasn't. this film looks gritty and low budget because it is, but that lends itself to the crappy world the characters live in. I like Piper, yes it is because I'm a wrestling fan. But it's more than that. He makes a believable Drifter almost like Eastwood in A Fist Full of Dollars. The fight scene, one of the longest ever is so over the top that it is wonderful.

Don't listen to any criticism of this film, just sit back, and let go. You'll thank me for it in th end.
