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 Says

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

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

“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

If you’ve never been catfished by a movie, here’s your chance. I was rooting for the slasher.

Ok as a slasher movie it is sub par, as an empowerment movie its heart is in the right place, but is sappy and trite. As a message movie it makes strong points that one cannot or should not argue with but it is pretty heavy handed and will lose anyone will not change minds so it really fails across the board. The agenda hits you over the head and really comes off poorly.

The viewers are left wondering “am I even watching a horror movie?” Would have been better if the killer bit was taken out.

Created an account just to make this review, not worth your time even if you could be guaranteed to be given back the time wasted watching this movie. There was no cohesion and all of the action was shoehorned into the last few minutes.
