THEY LIVE (1988)

Underrated Horror Recommendations

Often written off as ‘80s cheese, John Carpenter’s THEY LIVE (1988) is a cautionary tale that’s becoming more relevant with each passing year. The central theme of a working class being controlled by the wealthy and powerful sounds uncomfortably familiar nowadays and I think there’s a lot that we as a society can learn from it. Plus it’s just an awesome movie with fun dialogue and a wonderful performance by the late, great Rowdy Roddy Piper. People seem to finally be coming around on this one, but if you’ve never given it a shot you should because there’s no other film like it.
