Kevin Bacon Returns to His Horror Roots in LGBTQ Slasher 'They/Them'
Kevin Bacon is returning to his horror roots in the LGBTQ+ horror film , coming to Peacock in August. In the first official look at the Blumhouse project, which is pronounced “they-slash-them,” the 63-year-old actor plays the director of a gay conversion camp where several queer and trans campers have been forced into a week of programming that becomes increasingly more unsettling as the LGBTQ youth work together to protect themselves from a mysterious killer. In addition to Bacon (he/him) playing Owen Whistler, the film stars Anna Chlumsky (she/her) as camp medic Molly and Carrie Preston (she/her) as licensed therapist Cora Whistler, while the campers include Theo Germaine (they/them) as Jordan, Austin Crute (he/him) as Toby, Monique Kim (she/her) as Veronica, Anna Lore (she/her) as Kim, Cooper Koch (he/him) as Stu and Darwin del Fabro (he/him) as Gabriel. “ has been germinating within me my whole life,” writer and director John Logan said of the film.
