I actually decided to check this film out after hearing the premise. The opening gave a standard tone setting kill and then the movie just fell flat. The cast are all cartoons and once everyone was introduced I'm sad to say I immediately figured out who the killer was and their motivation.
The movie desperately wants to tackle important topics but lacks the skill to do so in a smart way. Some scenes you can tell the writer pat themselves on the back thinking they did something and it just wasn't good.
They/Them works better as an after school special than a slasher and if you edit out the 20ish mins of actual horror it world be just that. I'm fine with more representation in horror but I'd like it without sacrificing the horror.
