Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.MUBIhide caption
The new movie Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasmais a bloody and bewildering queer slasher film. Directed by Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow), it stars Hannah Einbinder as a queer young filmmaker tapped to reboot a defunct slasher franchise, and Gillian Anderson as a reclusive actress. The movie is a meditation on slashers and film itself, sexuality and identity – and it’s also gore-filled fun you won’t want to miss.
