"Se credi siano persone come te, stai commettendo un errore mortale..."
Essi vivono
John Nada, disoccupato, trova lavoro in un cantiere a Los Angeles. In cerca di un posto dove passare la notte, viene portato da un collega in una chiesa dove ascolta un predicatore cieco parlare del controllo della mente che “loro” starebbero praticando sugli uomini. Poco prima che il posto sia oggetto di un raid della polizia, John scova degli strani occhiali in una scatola e tramite quelli riesce a vedere le cose come stanno realmente: un sacco di gente ha un aspetto orribile con facce simili a teschi. Gli alieni hanno già occupato parecchi posti importanti e stanno continuando a farlo senza che gli umani se ne accorgano. John decide di combatterli e di trovare qualche alleato.

They Live is a great movie that delivers an exceptional story with a dystopian vibe that is both thrilling and terrifying. John Carpenter's screenplay was ahead of its time in terms of its social commentary on American capitalism and the class divide.
