The prolific and versatile John Logan wrote a number of acclaimed plays in Chicago including the real-life crime dramas “Never the Sinner” and “Hauptmann” before turning to Hollywood and creating some of the most memorable screenplays of the last 20 years, writing or co-writing “Gladiator,” “The Last Samurai,” “The Aviator” and “Hugo,” as well as the James Bond movies “Skyfall” and “Spectre.”
At the age of 60, Logan makes his feature directorial debut with the Blumhouse horror movie “They/Them,” and that’s pronounced “They-Slash-Them,” as this is an uneven but intriguing and thought-provoking mashup of “gay conversion camp” films such as “But I’m a Cheerleader” and “The Miseducation of Cameron Post,” and cabin-in-the-woods slasher films such as “Friday the 13th” and, well, “The Cabin in the Woods.”
