Cooper Koch, Darwin Del Fabro, Monique Kim, and Anna Lore star in They/Them, a new horror slasher on Peacock. The film follows a group of queer youth who are sent to a conversion therapy camp by their parents. Real-life horrors combine with gruesome murder in the film when people at the camp start mysteriously dying. Theo Germaine, Austin Crute, Carrie Preston, Kevin Bacon, and Anna Chlumsky also star.
They/Them is written and directed by John Logan, writer of hit films like Skyfall, Spectre, and Alien: Covenant. They/Them follows in the footsteps of iconic slashers like Friday the 13th (in which Bacon also starred), but updates the format for a new generation, putting queerness front-and-center in a groundbreaking way.
