The sides of They Live
- Sunglasses that show aliens among us
- Billboards that say OBEY
- A very long alley fistfight
They Live is good for you if…
- you like the idea of sunglasses that show who is really human.
- you like a B movie that is secretly about money and control.
- you laugh at a five minute fistfight over putting on glasses.
They Live is bad for you if…
- you don't get into eighties B movies with rubber-faced aliens.
- you need an alien invasion that makes sense.
