This is a new horror Blumhouse movie set at a gay (de)conversion camp... you know what, you don't need the horror in this for this to be a horror movie!
A group of kids go (are sent) to this camp, and the educators there are... terrible people really. Just treating these kids in the way of these camps is bad enough, we don't need a slasher. (And I found it amusing that considering these kids are mostly gay, splitting them into a boys cabin and girls cabin seems a bit antithetical. Oh, and they need a gender neutral cabin now, but I'm sure camps will go as hard as possible to never do that.) But eventually, we do get a slasher, and that's a thing that happens here.
The slasher aspect is rather unexciting. Bad people get slashed, and the movie sets them up to not be liked, so that's fine, but it happens to incidentally to the movie you could easily think the movie thinks this is lesser plot as well as I did. (And the proper way to pronounce this movie is "They Slash Them", so just explaining how that ties in.)
It's a decent picture, but they could have done something better than throw this trapping onto it.
