This picture’s premise could be viewed as a bit of a “Catch-22.” You can’t have the slasher film without the twisted characters headed by Bacon and you can’t have a movie like this about the abusive camp owners without the demented slasher at large. The movie has good intentions to be sure but the mix of slasher film moments with more heavy scenes of torture within the camp can make some viewers a bit uneasy, It all depends on what each viewer takes to the table with them when viewing They/Them. This character would be the, pardon the pun, “hook” of the movie if it weren’t such a silly idea.
#Risque moments serial#
I haven’t mentioned the masked serial killer who is killing off people at the conversion camp. The scenes are a bit too risque for their own good in this particular movie. I would say the same thing about these scenes if they featured straight characters. The scene, however, pushes the envelope of sex sequences just like the one between Kim and Veronica that precedes it. Del Fabro is excellent playing a unique character with a surprise agenda in the movie and a sex scene between Gabriel and Stu is played to Cigarettes After Sex music which is great.
Chlumsky expertly plays one of the workers at the conversion camp who gets confrontational with Owen after he uses shock therapy to treat a hunk named Stu (Cooper Koch) after he fools around with Gabriel (Darwin del Fabro, the other standout in the cast). The first is from Anna Chlumsky who appeared (when she was much younger) in the Macaulay Culkin film, My Girl. There are two standout performances here besides the frightening turn by Bacon. The central young female in the group is Kim (Anna Lore) who is wooed in style by Veronica (Monique Kim) in one of the film’s most steamiest moments.
Toby is feeling some uneasy vibes about shooting a dog and Jordan seems to have a fearlessness about him which will make him become the star of the movie. Jordan does what Owen wants Toby to do to get Toby off the hook casting some doubt as to Jordan’s true overall intentions. Jordan has some key scenes that help develop the plot such as when Owen tries to get a camper named Toby (a very good Austin Crute) to shoot a sickly dog. Theo Germaine is Jordan, the movie’s focused central character out of the young people who are displayed in the film. These people headed by Owen seem to have a pretty intense agenda and the movie never makes certain how, exactly, the camp was marketed but we feel sorry for the young folks who are in attendance nevertheless. As the picture begins, a new group of young people are being introduced at the camp to its workers. It’s a typical way to open a slasher film as this lady meets a dire fate but the movie soon unveils its main premise which involves a camp run by a man named Owen (Bacon) alongside his wife, Cora (Carrie Preston). The movie opens with an older woman (Brooke Jaye Taylor) driving on a road at night time.
