Critics Consensus

Although it deserves credit for its strong cast and inclusive premise, They/Them is too tonally messy to cut more than skin deep.

Audience Consensus

The clichés outnumber the chills in They/Them, keeping this clumsy slasher from executing on its potentially interesting ideas.

What the hell? Why does this have such bad ratings? I mean sure they had a couple corny moments but like…. If I see one more movie about a blonde lady being bad in a survival situation I'm gonna lose my mind. Like at least this was a creative idea and had funny parts. And it got truly chilling in parts because it wasn't replaying the same 25 tropes we get in most now. I was really hoping the person behind the mask was gonna be Rupaul.

There was so much off about this film. The writer was trying way to hard to make the camp staff "creepy" with poorly written and cheesy lines. Kevin Bacon's acting was the only thing that really was good about the film the rest of the cast was just mediocre. The movie had a very slow drawn out pace and failed to thrill me even in the scarier moments. When I find myself pulling out my phone to shop amazon, I can safely say I am bored.

Whoever they chose to represent the critics and the public h'oh boy were they wrong. This is good entertainment. It's revenge done well. It's not as horrific as some paint it to be. In fact this is very tame for a slasher film. And the message is don't try and change us LGBTQs. Let us be who we are. Well, hells bells, that is the perfect message this film delivers. And that is a very good thing.

I had a bit of a hard time figuring out if it was cheesy on purpose or not. There's a scene where they start singing Pinks Perfect. That was the nail in the coffin for me. The killer reveal was pretty expected. It's a throw on in the background kind of movie.

It comes off like the filmmaker had no idea what kind of story he wanted to create around his capable cast.

Los Angeles Times

“They/Them” never connects on a gut level, as a horror movie should. It’s too somber and plodding — a “message movie” delivered in a drab package.

As a director, Logan knows how to put us through the horror genre paces.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

There is little redeeming value to They/Them. It fails as an escapist slasher flick for queer kids to vicariously live through, and it doesn’t make a strong case for dismantling conversion camps.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

They/Them isn’t really what I was expecting, but as somebody who has little interest generally in horror and even less experience watching it, I was ultimately glad for the kind of movie that it wound up being.

Rated: 7/10
