They Live

Ah, another John Carpenter gem. Overall, I'm not a big fan of his, but there are a half a dozen of his flicks that are really good. They mood and story of this film was very unique, and had a really creepy vibe to it. I liked the whole alien mind control idea, because they did it right. I also like the suddeness and unpredictability of the plot. 4.5 out of 5.
