Feast your eyes on this brand new restoration of THEY LIVE, one of John Carpenter's most accomplished films. An action packed, satirical, sci-fi adventure and socio-cultural critique on the decline of spiritual values and the rise of consumerism within modern society, it also includes one of the longest fist fights in the history of cinema. Professional WWF wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper plays John Nada, a homeless, unemployed construction worker who discovers a pair of sunglasses that when worn suddenly reveal a world run by upwardly mobile, capitalist, yuppie alien's intent on keeping the human race sedate and brainwashed with subliminal messages fed through advertising and the media. Luckily for us, all John Nada wants to do now is chew gum and kick ass, and he's all out of gum.

Rewatched this recently and its gets better everytime, I'm gutted Roddy Piper didn't get many more meaty role like this as he's fantastic. All round greatness from Carpenter, sharply written, cool direction and a pitch perfect score just highlight what the man could do with a meagre budget. Utter legend!

Underrated 80's Classic They Live is my 2nd favourite John Carpenter movie only beaten by The Thing. However unlike The Thing it's more of an adventure/thriller than horror as described on Google Play. I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Honestly, this is one of my all time favourites. A great cast, funny moments, great script, Rowdy Roddy Piper And Meg Foster in this John Carpenter classic. Enjoyable horror/sci-fi film made so perfectly. Definately worth buying, especially now it's been remastered in HD
