Cover story: „They live“ (1988)
written by Markus Haage
After an epochal big-budget flop, John Carpenter returned to his independent roots and, with a limited budget but huge creative freedom, wrote and directed a cult classic of phantastic cinema: „They Live“; which is almost considered prophetic these days ...

In addition to the title story, we take a look at religion motives in genre films, say goodbye to the actor Bruce Willis, are puzzled by the original titles of well-known cult films, interview SFX master James Belohovek and, as always, take a look at questionable B-movies as well as a particularly strange pearl of US television from the early 70s.
