  They Live 1988

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025 1

  When I first discovered the term “gothic Marxism” I giggled, it is seemingly so unserious that when I had discovered that They Live by John Carpenter is films leading exemplar of gothic Marxism, I was shocked to say the least!

It makes sense that a man’s response to this threat is to turn to strenuous attempts of control and destruction…
