Kurt Russell leads the battle against the terrifying intruder. Before long the scientists can’t tell who’s real and who’s a deadly alien threat. What they don’t know is that the alien can assume any human form. It all begins when scientists at an arctic research station discover an alien spacecraft under the thick ice and thaw out the alien body found aboard. The ThingĪ terrifying, gruesome, and absolutely chilling remake of The Thing from Outer Space that boasts some of the most impressive and amazingly gory special effects ever put into a horror film.
Now, the battle is on to free the human race from this secret, subliminal tyranny! Good fun-filled with genuine chills and scares and a bitingly satirical assault on our consumer culture, They Live is one of Carpenter’s finest achievements. He’s capable of discerning which normal-looking people are, in fact, ugly aliens in charge of the campaign to keep humans subdued. Wearing the glasses, Nada can see the secret messages behind all advertising. The world’s ruling elite are actually aliens in disguise who aim to keep humans in a state of mindless consumerism. Nada (Roddy Piper) is a down-on-his-luck construction worker who stumbles upon a special pair of sunglasses that reveal an astonishing global secret. The collection will also feature current Shudder titles like The McPherson Project, PG: Psycho Goreman, Friend Barry, Color Out of Space, and The Untamed. The collection launches on July 1 with new Shudder additions They Live and The Thing (also part of our July John Carpenter collection), the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Lifeforce, Planet of the Vampires, Dark Angel, Without Warning, and Invaders from Mars. Whether its little green men or tentacled monsters in the cold reaches of space or hidden in plain sight just next door, these aliens do not come in peace.
