Luckily for us all Nada is a man of action and so begins the fight-back (including perhaps the longest fistfight in cinema’s history) to save humankind.

It has a slow start but it's worth it if you stick with it. When you think about it, the only parts that are kinda far-fetched is the whole alien thing and the frequency being transmitted that keeps people from seeing what's really out there. But these 2 things are metaphors for what's really going on. I remember thinking back in the day that Rowdy Roddy Piper was a strange casting choice, but the look on his face when he first sees a disguised alien through the sunglasses proves that he was perfect for the role. Review: Great cult classic, not to be missed by fans of timeless sci-fi - Great cult classic sic-fi film. I think this film was ahead of its time, but also timeless in many ways. The overarching plot, themes, undertones, and overtones all match up with things people are just beginning to piece together now, in fragments. At the same time, there are very memorable segues containing action and very classic one-liners that have been paid homage to in many TV shows and Hollywood films ever since, but you probably didn't realize they came from this film. With such a low budget, they had to be very creative, and you would never guess this from the visual/AV production, which looks as good as anything big budget. But through that creativity a lot of novel ideas appeared in this film before their times. A film, "Branded", which fell through the cracks and received poor reviews, did similar things, nearly 25 years later. And yet, this film was on average highly praised by critics. Like most great films, it's best watched if you don't watch trailers, don't read about it on the internet, and don't spoil it for yourself; just go wit the flow. And a great flow it has. In some ways, perhaps in another universe, you can easily see from his sci-fi work that Carpenter would have been a top notch director for big budget films of the time, like Terminator 2, etc; but he stuck to what he wanted to do and the messages he wanted to get across. One other analogy that comes to mind when watching this film, not so much in content or plot, but conceptually, is Idiocracy. If you enjoyed that film, you will probably dig this a lot. Idiocracy made such great social commentary that it was well finished, and a great film, but ultimately the studio dropped all marketing money and efforts, because they feared alienating their core (masses) base of TV viewers. In other words, they thought the film was too intelligent to show. You get that feeling here; the film did well (made a profit), got great reviews, etc, but is scarcely heard of. Definitely worth a watch if you are a sci-fi fan. Some of the best stuff came out of the very late 80s going into the big progressive world of the 90s (especially for sci-fi; Star Trek: TNG, anyone?); a time which is only really paralleled in recent history by the 60s. This film may have fallen through the cracks, but thankfully, desertcart has it available in its catalogue for rental! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 19,924 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Studiocanal | | Number Of Discs | 2 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 35 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 35 minutes - **Manufacturer:** Studiocanal - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05055201841032 ## Images ![They Live [Blu-ray] [2018] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pv3WfVbRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good movie, disturbingly relevant *by C***. on December 6, 2025* I always liked this movie.
