5 SEC REVIEW | THEY/THEM 2022

THEY/THEM 2022
Not horror, more of drama/thriller that is centered on the philosophical aspects of gender and focusing mainly on the various types of non-binaries, hence the title. Kevin Bacon takes lead as the camp master of an LGBTQ+ conversion camp. Also in the film are Anna Chlumsky (My Girl), Theo Germaine (The Politician), Anna Lore (Doom Patrol), and many others. Almost a hit but fails on many aspect. Even with the lengthy character build up it's still so hard to connect with the characters on an emotional level, life stories are just too safe, shallow and unbelievable. The sex scenes are more graphic than the actual murder scenes. Predictable. This film would've been more successful if they made it into an actual horror/slasher flick. But they had to insist on making it more melodramatic.

2/5
