Our take
HIM is an MA 15+ sports thriller about quarterback prospect Cameron Cade training at idol Isaiah White's isolated compound after a brain injury. Relentless f-word dialogue sits alongside football-slogan gore metaphors, recurring nightmares, dead-body alerts and rap lyrics that reference overdose. Isaiah's mentorship turns unsettling as the story shifts from sports drama into psychological horror. Older teens and adults only.

Story (may spoil tone)
After suffering a potentially career-ending brain trauma, Cameron Cade receives a lifeline when his hero, legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar Isaiah White, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife. But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker.
