I always been a fan of John Carpenter since "Halloween" and was really disappointed with his last movie "The Ward" It was like seeing "Shutter Island" all over again. Glad we can enjoy his older movies.
The story revolves around a nameless man referred to as "Nada" (Roddy Piper), a quiet drifter who finds work on a Los Angeles construction site. One of the workers, Frank Armitage (Keith David), takes him to a local shantytown. After eating at the soup kitchen and spending the night, he notices odd behavior at the small church across the street. Investigating. He takes one of the boxes from the secret compartment and opens it in an alleyway, finding it full of sunglasses. He keeps one pair and stashes the rest in an unused garbage can. Looking through the sunglasses reveals to Nada that all advertisements and media in the world actually contain subliminal messages designed to control an unwitting human population. Additionally, he soon discovers that many people are actually aliens, who are human-looking except for skull-like faces. The aliens tend to be wealthy upper class members of society, as well as politicians.
A great movie that you really should check out.
