Roddy Roddy Piper at his acting peak finest, laughing out loud! Damn, the
scary parts are really well done, where people's faces look like skeletons when Roddy puts on "special glasses" - aka this is when he knows that
they live...but the rest of the acting is SUPER corny. It's like good plot meets bad plot - and good filming/scenes meets bad filming/scenes. Also, they play the same damn background music the ENTIRE movie. Five total individual notes repeated - three total different tones/keys played - and then a computer generated snapping sound to finish it off...then repeat that multiplied by one plus hours. Awful!! Damn, once I focused on that sound, I almost turned it off or pushed mute. Totally awfully bad movie producing decision with that music. But, to give some credit here I'll take a bit of a softer stance. From a uniqueness standpoint, this one is definitely unique. From a, 'I-like-horror-movies-and-want-to-see-even-the-bad-ones-because-I-don't-care' side of things, this one is worth watching...thus, if you can look past the cheesy
humans and their acting, perhaps you should give this one a try??
At one point, Roddy Roddy is trying to convince his buddy (played by Keith David who I definitely recognize from somewhere) to wear these special 80's looking sunglasses and his buddy doesn't want to, so they fight on the street for about 27 minutes...almost like something out of a wrestling match. At the end, Roddy says, "Brother, life's a bitch...and she's back in heat."
Don't watch this movie - rather watch this youtube (c) video of this awesome cinema fight scene:
They Live awesome fight scene - 27 Minutes LONG (just kidding) courtesy of the MovieExpressPodcast guys from Youtube (c).
If they remake this, I would watch it....bet it would be 1,000 times better. Here is a shot of the badass bad guys:
