They/Them Trailer Shows Horrors at Conversion Camp



Peacock has just released a new trailer for their upcoming original slasher They/Them. As seen in the trailer below, They/Them revolves around a group of LGBTQ+ youth who attend Camp Whistler, a conversion camp that will lead them to gain “a new sense of freedom.” As if the creepy camp director (played by Kevin Bacon) and exploring “traditional gender roles” wasn’t scary enough for the camp-goers, they also have to contend with a killer’s presence on campus.

To the surprise of the attending youth, Whistler Camp doesn’t rely on religious fear-mongering in order to convert them. Rather, a look at an unsettling session with the camp’s therapist (played by Carrie Preston) shows psychological manipulation as she persuades a youth that their gender identity is a call for attention from their parents.

“When people walk away from the movie, I hope they’re going to remember the incredible love that these kids have for each other and how that love needs to be protected and celebrated.”
