In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THEY LIVE (1988), from writer/director John Carpenter from the short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning” by Ray Nelson. After donning a pair of seemingly ordinary sunglasses, a homeless drifter named Nada (wrestling legend, Roddy Piper) finds his eyes literally opened to a reality that is far more twisted and terrifying than what They want you to believe. Keith David stars as Frank and Meg Foster is Holly. The film clocks in at 1 h and 34 m, is rated R and is available to buy/rent from Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
