THEY LIVE (1988) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: John Carpenter
Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster, Peter Jason,
George "Buck" Flowers, Raymond St. Jacques
A tongue-in-cheek horror movie about a burly construction worker who puts on a pair of special prescription sunglasses and starts to see that half the human race has turned into mindless, soulless zombies whose only function is to serve a pervasive consumer economy. Which is not all that hard to imagine, really. There's a long, long, long, long fistfight in this, and Piper has some memorable one-liners.
