“There are also continuous psychological games”
Sitting down for an interview with director John Logan, Screenrant addressed the film’s slow-motion backlog of conventions, and the director explained why there was more focus on the gay conversion camp scenario in the first half:
“I think it’s a good dramatic structure to build up your horror or build your suspense as you go. The unique thing about this so-called conversion therapy, is that yes, on the one hand, it’s physically painful. There are forced marches and sleep deprivation.”
He continued, “But there is also a very cunning psychic. I really wanted to take the time to show how these characters, our opponents or our villains, gradually tried to get rid of our camp identity.”
They/they are streaming exclusively on Peacock.
