John Carpenter wrote and directed this science fiction thriller about a group of aliens who try to take over the world by disguising themselves as Young Republicans. Wrestler
Roddy Piper stars as John Nada, a drifted who makes his way into an immense encampment for the homeless. There he stumbles upon a conspiracy concerning aliens who have hypnotized the populace through subliminal messages transmitted through television, magazines, posters, and movies. When Nada looks through special Ray-Bans developed by the resistance leaders, the aliens lose their clean-cut "Dan Quayle" looks and resemble crusty-looking reptiles. Nada joins the underground, teaming up with rebel-leader Frank (
Keith David) to eradicate the lizard-like aliens from the body politic.

Allright Movie
The movie wasn't that bad. The fact that Roddy Piper finds the glasses and no one bothers to believe that when you put them on you see what the aliens look like under human flesh, is pretty cool. He ends up getting in tons of trouble and has conflicts with the Aliens. Its a good movie if your just relaxing and got nothing to do. I won't tell you the end but when your done with the movie it makes you wonder if aliens are really walking around us.
