Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohn Carpenter brought real "homeless folks" into the production for several scenes and smaller characters and gave them food as well as paychecks. "I thought that was a pretty classy thing to do," said Roddy Piper.
- GoofsThe alien at the magazine stand gets his change twice.
- Crazy creditsThe screenplay writer for "They Live" which is credited to "Frank Armitage", does not exist. John Carpenter used many pseudonyms when giving credit to his works in films. With his vast amount of work that he did himself, (directing, producing, writing and composing the musical scores), he did not want to appear to be braggadocios and vain by having his name appear over and over in the credits of his movies.

Featured review
Movie is surprisingly good but the message delivered is 10/10 and the main reason you should watch it
Its nice to see convid woke up so many more people, its sad though that it took such a ridiculous overreach of power to shake people out of their slumber. The evidence of what is really going on and how deep the rabbit hole really goes has been out there forever, just follow the $$$ and open your mind and your eyes its plain as day. Seek and you shall find.
Yes they live, and unfortunately their plan of keeping the masses asleep has been VERY VERY effective.
Put down that Fluoride drink and WAKE UP!
Great flick, movie 7/10, message 10/10.
