Horror fans every so often we get a film that just from the title and premise alone tells you exactly what kind of a film that it is and who this film is meant to be for. Well we now have yet another film to add to that lost and it's a film that i've been dieing to see simply because of how bad it looks and so then join me as I review the film that is quite possibly worse then the 2021 film Karen with the film in question being called simply just "They/Them" enjoy.
The plot of this film is a group of teenagers are sent to a conversion camp and while there a killer starts to kill of not only them but the people that work at the camp as well. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad since it really doesn't have much of a plot to speak to of and so this film just comes across as being pretty aimless in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is this films executive producer Kevin Bacon as Owen Whistler , Theo Germaine as Jordan Lewis and Anna Chlumsky as Molly Erickson. Also starring in this film is Carrie Preston as Cora Knox , Quei Tann as Alexandra Traven , Austin Crute as Toby O'Neal , Anna Lore as Kim Hartman , Monique Kim as Veronica Lim , Cooper Koch as Stuart Smith Williams , Darwin Del Fabro as Gabriel Hernandez , Hayley Griffith as Sarah Kahan , Boone Platt as Zane Maximoff and Mark Ashworth as Balthazar Riggs.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. With alot of this films cast turning in some very bad performances and not even trying to make this films script work at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This film does feature the return of Kevin Bacon to the horror genre since 2000's Hollow Man and I have to say that he's the best actor in this film. He really does look like that he's enjoying himself in this film which really caught me of guard since as far as i'm a where he very rarely plays the villain in a film and so to see him quite clearly having a blast in this film was a great thing to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
If this film was a horror comedy then I think that it would have been a much better film however this film plays it all straight. Which is a shame because the very set up for this film allows you to tell some good jokes and make fun of it's self but for one reason or another the makers of this film chose to play it straight and so then instead of being a fun film it ends up being a very boring film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Unlike Karen this film really isn't self-aware which makes it alot less fun of a film to watch and it makes a film that's just straight up bad. Which is a shame because even tho Karen is a bad film it's at least so bad it's good and you can at least laugh at how bad it is but here tho because of the fact that this film isn't self-aware at all it strips this film of being fun to watch which is what every single horror film should be and yes that even goes for all of the bad horror films as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
What really bugged me about this film is the fact that this films tries it's best to make the kids come across as being the heroes and yet it also shows them willfully killing a defenceless animal. As well as having one of them almost kill a person and so when you do that you can't make these characters be the heroes because you've just shown our main character willfully kill an animal yes the film does give an in story reason as to why he had to do it but when you give a character that choice and then not have the character show any kind of remorse then you've made that character look like an evil person in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this film has / had an exact total running time of exactly one hour and forty four minuets and six seconds. Which is a very long time for a film that's this lacking in story to last and as such this film does feel a lot longer then what it actually is and as such I really do think that this film should have at the very least have been one hour and fifteen minuets since that's all the running time that this film has story for in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So then apparently this is a slasher film and so then that means that I have to actually talk abut the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film are in all honesty OK at best. I say this because this film commits the one biggest sin that all slasher films should never commit and that's the fact that it barely shows us any of the kills on screen and what little kills we do get to see are fairly freaking tame kills in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film had the potential to at the very least be so bad it's good but it doesn't even reach that with a cast that can barely be bothered to act and the fact that it plays it straight just rips out any fun that could have been had with this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.
Now then as where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very film well then boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Xenopedia fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
