“You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn’t she?
Put them back on … formaldehyde-face!.”

FLIX PIX Staff Selection: “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a** — And I’m all out of bubblegum.” John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi, anti-consumerism, action film will leave you with an urge to quit your job and delete your Instagram. With some of the best one liners and longest fight scenes, this perfectly ‘80s film will keep you entertained while the underlying themes will make you question your own ‘yuppieness.’ Living in a Post-Trump, Kardashian-ruled era, this film couldn’t be more relevant. — Hanna

They Live

About: They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They Live. A rugged loner (Roddy Piper) stumbles upon a terrifying discovery: ghoulish creatures are masquerading as humans while they lull the public into submission through subliminal advertising messages. Only specially made sunglasses make the deadly truth visible. (TheOfficialJohnCarpenter.com)
