OMG! I actually had to double check if this was the right movie,that I remember advertised.
Must of been drunk or something to even slightly consider this watchable,let alone a horror/thriller genre.
It was boring.. Like they took all the best parts out & left us with slop,even Kevin Bacon couldn't salvage this.
Horrible script & acting plus,full of clichés as well plotholes.. Those claiming low reviews are due to LGBT+ hate or saying it has a Friday the 13th vibe,are the ones misrepresenting the movie truth.
The musical number although misplaced in this style film,was actually one of the better parts.. lol.
Had more dramatic parts & maybe 5% horror,if you are rating it like that.
Just skip it! Find something more fitting genre-wise,only watch if you're desperate or like any actor.

The idea behind this movie is very much "But I'm a Cheerleader" mixed with an attempted "Scream" movie in the woods. A lot of typical tropes are used throughout, and it only gets interesting towards the end. Predictability is a killer for slasher movies (pun intended). The side stories with the campers throughout kept it interesting, but it's easy to guess the ending(s) before you're halfway through.
My biggest problem with this movie is with how it was sold to me: A horror flick based at a Christian conversion camp. There was a couple of plot "twists" that weren't really twists, mainly because one of them made zero sense at all, and the other was completely predictable. I'm sure most reviewers will complain it was too progressive, but that didn't really bother me once I accepted what it wasn't: a horror movie. Once I got past that, then it was easy to be annoyed with what I was tricked by the trailer into watching: A crappy teen drama that was SUPER heavy-handed in character development and very little else. If I didn't know any better, I'd guess this was a pilot for a new teen drama about LGBTQ kids united by trauma at a Christian conversion camp on Peacock. They wouldn't even have to change the title.
First of all: I'm gay myself and I'm a horror and slasher fan.
The first minutes of the movie were pretty good and gave me big hopes that the rest of the movie was going to be the same.
Well, it wasn't.
The movie wasn't even horror or a slasher, because there was absolutely no tension, and the murderer was after nobody I would really care for. The whole movie just felt like a personal revenge killing spree that was only made to attract and feed a Gen Z they/them audience. I just kept guessing who the murderer was, but even that wasn't really hard if you could count to 3.
On top of the boring story, almost nobody of the main characters was likeable and the main protagonist Theo Germaine had the expressional acting bandwidth of a rock. The character development and their background stories were so shallow that it rather felt like a camp of deaf-mutes. There was almost zero dialogue that would reveal anything meaningful about the characters.
Sadly, neither Kevin Bacon nor Carrie Preston (known from True Blood) were able to save the movie from the poor script. Please try again and get better writers because this was thumbs down deluxe.

I decided to watch this movie just because Kevin was in it, thought surely it must be good, Kevin is in it! ...It wasn't.
10 minutes in it was obvious who the killer was. Question was "why?"... and that wasn't revealed until later and it was so underwhelming.
Was hoping for some indiscriminate killing and people running around screaming for their lives, hiding, fearing... None of it. That's what I expected going into the movie...

- TriviaThe title of the film is pronounced "They Slash Them."
- GoofsWhen Jordan (Theo Germaine) is at the range, they use a Ruger 10/22 rifle with a 10-round capacity. They fire four rounds from the rifle and are then challenged to a shooting contest. Jordan then fires four rounds at the target and shoots three acorns for a total of 11 shots, all without reloading. Also, a .22 is MUCH quieter than what's heard in the movie and would leave a much smaller hole in the paper.
