Synopsis:

They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it.

Horror master John Carpenter directs this action-packed sci-fi thriller about one man’s battle against aliens who are systematically gaining control of the Earth. Rugged Roddy Piper stars as the loner who stumbles upon a terrifying discovery… ghoulish creatures are masquerading as humans, while they lull the public into submission through subliminal advertising messages. Only specially made sunglasses make the deadly truth visible.

Suspenseful science-fiction and heart-pounding action highlight this masterfully ironic and startling tale, co-starring Keith David and Meg Foster.
