Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson star in a psychosexual horror two-hander directed by Jane Schoenbrun

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director (Hannah Einbinder, Hacks) for resurrection. But when she visits the original movie’s star (Gillian Anderson, The X-Files, Sex Education), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

As a writer-director, Jane Schoenbrun has already built a distinctive body of work, with their horror films We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow exploring online life, identity, memory and nostalgia. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is an intellectual sleazefest, an ode to slashers and a takedown of modern industry politics. But at its core is the brewing connection between two women, bound by movies and desire.
