Where we shelve this film
Alien invasions
Visitors from space: hostile, friendly or wonderfully bizarre.
Dystopia & paranoia
Oppressive societies, invisible control and the feeling that something is wrong.
Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.
From the editors
A special pair of sunglasses makes the familiar world reveal a hidden system of oppression. They Live combines that discovery with muscular action. Our choice when an alien invasion should emerge from everyday life rather than arrive as a distant spectacle.
Screen on. Reality off.
