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

From the mind of visionary filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow), Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is, "a steamy stew of sex, death, VHS, and junk food, as though workshopped by Eros, Thanatos, Colonel Sanders and the Jolly Rancher in the seediest recesses of a Blockbuster Video, Schoenbrun’s delirious third film is their most accomplished, most persuasive and most playful movie yet. Here, the director’s perennial questions around gender identity and identification are sublimated into a tribute to the slasher genre that also serves as an exploration of the frequently f***ed-up nature of female desire and a manifesto for giving yourself the permission to feel it."–Jessica Kiang, Variety.
