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), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.

Critics Consensus

A bloody valentine to slasher horror that celebrates personal self-discovery as much as it does the possibilities of cinema, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma combines killer style with a big, still-beating heart.

Devotees of TV Glow may find the narrative too linear and the gags too saccharine, but this surprisingly hopeful ode to campy horror and movie snacks offers up a lot to love.

As with their previous films, Schoenbrun makes this world their own, and allows us entry into it. It is an invitation well worth accepting.

4/4

A horror movie that cuts deeply into our relationship to both art and self, capturing the desires and anxieties that come bursting out, it’s not just one of the most bloody fun films of the year, but one of its most unexpectedly, distinctly beautiful.

Jane Schoenbrun's audacious third film is poised to be polarizing, especially when it comes to teens: Some will find it genius, some will find it difficult to watch.

Schoenbrun turns the slasher into something stranger and more personal: a sharp, queer meditation on nostalgia, desire, and the movies that shape us. Bloody, funny, unsettling—and far more than a simple genre revival.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) is a slasher film written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw The TV Glow, We're All Going To The World's Fair) Starring Hannah Einbinder, Gillian Anderson, Jack Haven, Kevin McDonald, and Patrick Fischler. The story follows Kris (Einbinder) as a writer and director trying to reboot a defunct long-running slasher franchise, Camp Miasma, for a new audience. She reaches out to the original final girl of the first movie, Billy Presley (Anderson) to get her input and a cameo. Kris wants to create a movie showing the origin story of the unkillable murder machine, Little Death, a Jason Vorhees type killer who uses a spear. It's impossible to give more details without spoilers, but what follows is a genre bending mix of reality and fiction that I thoroughly enjoyed. Einbinder and Anderson have electric chemistry and that carries the majority of the film, and the homage to 89s slasher films is right on point. Little Death is an awesome killer, love the absurd design that would absolutely be terrifying if they were trying to kill you. For my money Jane Schoenbrun is 3 for 3 with their features. Although this may not be straight up horror, as some people want it to be, it hits all the right beats for me, was surprisingly funny and sexy, I would definitely recommend it. 9.5/10

It was an interesting watch, my theater was sold out. I feel like some people may enjoy this more than others. I’m somewhere in the middle l think I was it to be darker and edgier.
