Kevin Bacon Returns To Summer Camp With Blumhouse’s Gay Conversion Horror Movie – /Film

Blumhouse’s untitled project is being promoted as an “empowerment feature,” but has been firmly described as a horror project from the scary movie juggernaut. There’s no word on what Bacon’s role will be in the film, but the project announced Theo Germaine (“The Politician”) as the lead, so there’s a definite possibility that Kevin Bacon may be playing a villain of some form. Germaine is also known for their work on Showtime’s “Work in Progress” and Rhys Ernst’s “Adam.”

Conversion therapy for those of marginalized sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression is currently legal in some form in 30 states. The last few years has seen a spike in films focusing on the barbaric and inhumane process of conversion therapy, with narrative features like “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” and “Boy Erased,” or the Netflix documentary “Pray Away,” the latter also co-produced by Blumhouse.

The untitled gay conversion camp horror project, formerly known as “Whistler Camp,” will be directed by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (“Hugo,” “Gladiator,” “The Aviator”) in his feature debut. Logan is also responsible for the film’s screenplay. Jason Blum and Michael Aguilar are producing with Scott Turner Schofield joining Bacon as an executive producer. Ryan Turek is serving as the creative executive overseeing the film for Blumhouse.
