Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is director Jane Schoenbrun’s (I Saw the TV Glow) most personal film yet—as well as perhaps their most purely enjoyable. Paying homage to disreputable genres, while imbuing its deeply interrogative nature with a sense of genuine play, Schoenbrun’s film reveals a major turning point in the career of this groundbreaking auteur.
After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director (Hannah Einbinder) for resurrection. But when she visits the original's star (Gillian Anderson), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
