"I'd understand it a lot more if there were a lot more queer bashing and bible-thumping..."

On the surface, the movie Blumhouse's THEY/THEM had everything going for it:

  • A slasher film with a novel queer conversion camp setting.
  • Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan at the helm.
  • Kevin Bacon's return to his horror roots.
  • Queer characters actually played by queer actors.

With a built-in audience, undeniable talent, and seemingly the best intentions, THEY/THEM seem poised to take Queer Horror Cinema to the next level while exposing the real-life horrors of conversion therapy.

Instead, it failed on almost every level.

Join my special guests TARA GARNER and REVERAND BEN FITZGERALD-FYE as we take a good long look at what went wrong at Camp Whistler

THEY/THEM is currently available on Peacock.

Written & directed by JOHN LOGAN. Starring KEVIN BACON, ANNA CHLUMSKY, THEO GERMAINE, MONIQUE KIM, QUEI TANN and DARWIN DEL FABRO
