This movie is not even close to as bad as people make it out to be. Does it have its cringe moments- ABSOLUTELY. As does every other modern LGBT movie. It wasn't too woke either, most of the lines even revolving around gender felt like real lines that I would hear from other nonbinary / gay people, other than one towards the end. I wouldn't really call it a horror- moreso just a bit of a thriller and mostly coming of age/ a look into the psychology and horrors that do genuinely happen in camps like these and the relationships that develop in them. The characters were actually pretty likable as well. I really rooted for the main character. Acting was good, nothing crazy, but good, and there were some twists I really wasn't expecting as well as mildly disturbing scenes.

I feel like if this movie wasn't about gay people and had a different title it would not be nearly as hated, half of the bad reviews are from conservatives who wanted to hate-watch it. If you're gay or trans and like thrillers and aren't looking for anything too serious- then give it a shot! It's not a bad watch.

This movie makes me afraid for the future of autistic representation in media.
