They Live is a timeless science fiction, dystopian piece of media criticism. Director John Carpenter argues the film is a documentary, and he says what we’re all thinking, using alien overlords to reveal the real-world villains of Mass Media, Big Corporations, and the Surveillance state. All of Carpenter’s nightmares have only increased since the 1988 release, with the rise of Flock cameras, media conglomerates taking over the communication world, and the advertising business infiltrating every waking minute of our lives.
