Carpenter should stick to what he's good at-scaring folks-and leave the political satire to Spitting Image.

With Carpenter's clear, widescreen direction and his skill and enthusiasm at their highest peak, this is a masterpiece.

They Live is the looniest movie of the season and also one of the most engaging.

Behold the message as articulated by John Carpenter's sublime sci-fi opus: "I'm giving you a choice: Either put on these glasses, or start eating that trashcan."

A fantastically subversive film, a nifty little confection pitting us vs them, the haves vs the have-nots.

John Carpenter's They Live has cult favorite written all over it, and part of the reason is the way it regenerates the cheap, juicy, surprisingly potent sci-fi of the 1950s.

All in all, an entertaining (if ideologically incoherent) response to the valorization of greed in our midst.
