Ever wonder why people line up in droves to follow the latest fad? What causes us to scurry about like ants, or conform like willing slaves? Why do we obey and consume like mindless drones? The answer is right here in THEY LIVE.
Director John Carpenter strips off the facade, and shows us the ugly truth. A secret invasion force has crept in and assumed control, having inserted themselves among us as we marched blindly along. Now, posing as "normal" human beings, these impostors hold positions at the highest levels of government! This certainly explains the synthetic nature of politics, doesn't it?
Now, subliminal messages hidden in the constant din of commercials have hypnotized us into walking trances, and made us easy prey. We are finished!
THEY are everywhere! THEY are our true masters!
This movie captures both the paranoia and dark humor of a society tamed and controlled by alien overlords, without even knowing it. Roddy Piper plays the working stiff who accidentally uncovers the conspiracy behind everyday life.
So, grab some sunglasses and look around. THEY have been here for a very long time...
