Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

Horror-obsessed filmmaker Kris (Hannah Einbinder) is hired to resurrect an '80s slasher franchise called “Camp Miasma” for the new ‘woke’ generation. But in order to avoid the derivative trappings of her studio executives, Kris is adamant to cast the star of the original as her film’s ‘final girl’, the sultry recluse Billy (Gillian Anderson). Kris quips her “primary partner is her work”, but as she gets closer to Billy she unlocks the mystery of Camp Miasma, bringing forth a violent and revelatory psychosexual climax like no other.

Erotic, irreverent and gory, Schoenbrun’s latest has the same cinematic flair for synthy nostalgia as their previous cult hits, marking them a modern auteur to be reckoned with.

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as the opening film of the Un Certain Regard section, where it won the Queer Palm.
