As a movie, They Live is lethargic. As election propaganda, it's terrific.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
They Live
You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they're people just like you. You're wrong. Dead wrong.

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.
Jay Carr, Boston Globe

They Live is the looniest movie of the season and also one of the most engaging.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune

The joke is in the material; the idea itself is funny and daring. And some time soon, They Live suggests, with grim, knowing wink, the joke may be on us.
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times

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