they they The gay empowerment/anti-transformation therapy horror movie should help put the Peacock broadcast network on the map.
Well, it just wasn’t what he expected.
48 reviews saved on Rotten Tomatoes, they they bleak 29 percent received positive reviews. Audience ratings were even lower, at 15 percent.
While the entire cast consists of gays, lesbians, transgender people and everything else…
Although the screenwriter, the director is gay…
Here is a taste of the results…
Independent Wire:
Kevin Bacon runs a gay conversion therapy camp with some panic and a lot of self-loathing in this quirky thriller.
…
Studios have begun adding political commentary to every horror movie, whether it’s The Eternal Purge, which chronicles Mexican immigrants’ struggle against armed MAGA gangs, or the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which turns Leatherface into a displaced victim of technological gentrification. Horror fans can feel it when movies turn satire into bloodbath, and that’s annoying: they’re marketed as a trend, and often all they want is pure entertainment.
Gay City News:
Unfortunately, “Them/Them” uses an appropriate tactic—in life and in the media—to blame homophobia for repressed, self-hating failure. In one of the few hilarious moments, a pair of fake heterosexual counselors engage in foreplay by showing each other same-sex photos on their phones. But elsewhere the movie gets ridiculous.
The Daily Beast got really angry:
Unfortunately, its full potential they they It is wasted on paper-thin characters, blank writing, and a genuine misunderstanding of the real horrors that exist beyond these camp gates. Even his masked killer does not cause the slightest excitement. real fears they they reflected in its terrible scenario, especially in a scene I couldn’t get rid of. The only thing scarier than a conversion camp is where your fellow campers start singing P!nk.
Here is the clip of that song…
THEY/THEY are going out now. It’s not scary, but it has almost completely unique actors, which is incredible. it also features the worst, most disgusting scene of the year. In the end, we all witness it and I don’t have to go through this pain alone. pic.twitter.com/pjB9bFmo0z

The same Daily Beast critic scolded the producer for choosing Pink’s song.
Why? Why? Take a load…
Pink is not awake enough:
Besides, [that song] From P!nk’s boldly titled biggest hit album Biggest Hit… Goodbye!!!… that album also has a little song called “Stupid Girls,” which was the hottest bitches-shaming song of 2006. The popular songs in his work are obsessed with separating women for shopping and socializing.
Or how about Pink taking the stage at an event hosted by the Human Rights Campaign (the suspect) and starting her speech by saying, “I’m gay…not really.” Personally, I think it’s very cool and fun to see showing up as a silly joke. Let’s give him a few thousand dollars in movie royalties as a thank you.
For those who are waiting for me they they Review is when Snow cones come out of hell. I no longer watch anything where two men are likely to kiss. Very disturbing for me. Hey, you can’t blame me for what I am born like this
Horror movies work best when based on social commentary. But the comment should be something smart, thematically focused, subtle and general. Or should it be extreme cynicism that requires a fine line that few filmmakers have mastered?
