Fans got a glimpse of theupcoming horror movieThey/Themwith the teaser trailer, but now the official trailer has been released and the movie looks intelligent and impressive.
The trailer opens with Owen saying “It’s a great day to be alive” and shows the entry to Camp Whistler, which has a wooden sign that says “Respect” and “Renew” and “Rejoice.” The campers step off the bus and see the employees, who are sitting on the front steps of a cabin with sinister looks on their faces. Right away, it’s clear that Owen is an absolutely terrible person, as he tells the campers, “I can’t make you straight, but give us this week and we might be able to help.”
As the campers learn how to bake and how to appear in “traditional gender roles,” it becomes obvious that the history of the camp is bleak and dark and there’s more to it than anyone could have ever imagined. If it wasn’t scary enough that this was a conversion camp, there is a masked killer intent on murdering people. Immediately, horror fans can tell thatThey/Themis anelevated slasher movie.
