CRITICS OF "They Live"

Three Movie Buffs

Cheesy fun from the 1980s.

February 07, 2015

Resource

Boston Globe

John Carpenter's They Live has cult favorite written all over it, and part of the reason is the way it regenerates the cheap, juicy, surprisingly potent sci-fi of the 1950s.

August 06, 2013

Flavorwire

Carpenter's primary objective was to make a tough action flick, which he does; it fits snugly into his filmography's subset of urban mayhem movies (alongside 'Escape from New York,' 'Assault on Precinct 13,' and parts of 'Big Trouble in Little China').

February 17, 2017

Resource

Chicago Reader

All in all, an entertaining (if ideologically incoherent) response to the valorization of greed in our midst.

June 04, 2007

Common Sense Media

Campy, satirical classic has lots of violence, profanity.

November 10, 2015

Resource

Combustible Celluloid

With Carpenter's clear, widescreen direction and his skill and enthusiasm at their highest peak, this is a masterpiece.

April 26, 2016

Resource

Slant Magazine

Behold the message as articulated by John Carpenter's sublime sci-fi opus: "I'm giving you a choice: Either put on these glasses, or start eating that trashcan."

December 01, 2013

Resource

Georgia Straight

Carpenter should stick to what he's good at-scaring folks-and leave the political satire to Spitting Image.

February 19, 2014

Resource

Variety

A fantastically subversive film, a nifty little confection pitting us vs them, the haves vs the have-nots.

June 04, 2007

Resource

Philadelphia Inquirer

As a movie, They Live is lethargic. As election propaganda, it's terrific.

August 06, 2013

Resource

Chicago Tribune

They Live is the looniest movie of the season and also one of the most engaging.

October 10, 2012

Resource

Los Angeles Times

The joke is in the material; the idea itself is funny and daring. And some time soon, They Live suggests, with grim, knowing wink, the joke may be on us.
