They Live: Review

A rare, left-leaning Hollywood film from the Reagan era, John Carpenter's thriller is an amusing throwback to the science-fiction paranoia films of the 1950s. Set in Los Angeles in the near future, the movie shows a society in which the rich have gotten richer while the middle class has eroded and the ranks of the poor and homeless have swelled. A construction worker (professional wrestler Roddy Piper) stumbles on some unusual sunglasses. When he looks through their lenses, he can see what advertising, television shows and even paper currency are really saying; even scarier, the glasses expose the legions of briefcase-toting yuppies as alarming-looking aliens.
