“It’s not every day that you get to sign up for a horror movie surrounding the empowerment of queer people.” “It is so fulfilling to be a part of a film like this,” Crute said. Minors are especially vulnerable, and conversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide.” Actor Austin Crute attends Outfest Courtesy of Matthew CareyĪustin Crute ( Booksmart) plays Toby, a camper who’s not down with the whole gay conversion thing. Such practices have been rejected by every mainstream medical and mental health organization for decades, but due to continuing discrimination and societal bias against LGBTQ people, some practitioners continue to conduct conversion therapy.
It’s shedding a light on the real-life horrors of gay conversion and quote, unquote ‘therapy’ - because you can’t call it therapy - and how damaging it is and how it has harmed so many people.”Īccording to the Human Rights Campaign, “So-called ‘conversion therapy,’ sometimes known as ‘reparative therapy,’ is a range of dangerous and discredited practices that falsely claim to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. Preston adds of the film, “It’s using the horror genre to make bold social commentary, which is a great use of that genre. But I think somewhere in there she really thinks she’s doing really something good for them, as disturbing as that is.” “Sadly, I feel like my character thinks that she’s saving these young people, and she’s doing it in a really dark and manipulative way. “I apologized to Theo Germaine before we did the conversion scene in the movie,” Preston shared. In one sequence, Cora sits down with Jordan (Theo Germaine), urging them to deny their identity. Preston delivers chills as Cora Whistler, co-operator of the camp, a rigidly-coiffed woman with a plastered-on smile who demeans campers with ugly put-downs while ostensibly offering a message of love.

The film premieres on the Peacock streaming service on August 5, guaranteeing it a wide potential audience. “Just the idea that, when I started to look at the research, that there was still this idea that people could go someplace and be converted to be something that they weren’t was just such a horrible notion, as far as I’m concerned,” Bacon told Deadline. He helped the cast wade in by providing Bacon and his co-stars with ample information about gay conversion therapy, which has been banned in 20 states, including California, Colorado, Illinois, and Utah. So, I was happy to sort of wade into that pool.” Kevin Bacon in ‘They/Them.’ Behind him, in pink blouse, is Carrie Preston Peacock/Photo by: Josh Stringer/Blumhouse On the red carpet beforehand, Logan elaborated, telling Deadline, “Audiences can expect a frightening, thrilling movie, but even more so, it’s a story about queer empowerment and about seven queer kids who are heroes, which is something we don’t see a lot and we really don’t see a lot in the horror genre. I wanted my favorite genre to celebrate who I was.”
Or if they did exist, they were victims, or they were jokes. When I was growing up as a little gay kid, queer characters in horror movies were nonexistent. Logan, introducing his film at The Theater at the Ace Hotel, noted, “I wrote my first play 40 years ago and I’ve been writing screenplays for 30 years and this is the movie I chose to direct because it’s so personal to me.
