From short story: Eight O'Clock in the Morning by Ray Nelson

Music by: John Carpenter; Alan Howarth

Keywords: Sci-Fi, Alien Invasion, Dystopian, Los Angeles

An unemployed construction worker seeking work witnesses the raid of a church by a large number of police; in the aftermath he discovers glasses that when worn, allow one to see the world as it is: ruled by a wealthy and manipulative alien elite masquerading as humans, and steeped in subliminal propaganda woven into everyday objects. Low budget, highly original; must see.
