That bit in THEY LIVE where Roddy Piper beats up Keith David so he can see the truth about the aliens taking over the world but it's caged fighters waking up to the cancerous effects of the meat industry.
Not a lot of the science in this film is news now in 2022 but what did get me was the advertising of meat. The whole 'real man eat meat' stuff is pretty laughable but it's scary how powerful this stuff…
One of the best found-footage films, maybe even THE best. Its secrets are fairly simple. Make it scary and move it along at a brisk pace. This film is never allowed to drag and we are invited to join the dots like the characters up to the genuinely chilling finale. Watching it with headphones on last night was a pant-soilingly good experience.
The greatest remake ever.
The best Rick Moranis film there has been.
All other musicals pale into insignificance.
