Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA is a 2026 slasher comedy film written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun. Schoenbrun, who wrote and directed the 2024 coming-of-age horror film I Saw the TV Glow (preview and trailer here), compared the concept of the film to Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) set in a Friday the 13th sequel.

A queer filmmaker is hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher franchise. The director fixates on the prospect of casting the 'final girl' from the original movie, and the two women descend into a frenzy of psychosexual mania.

The cast includes Hannah Einbinder, Gillian Anderson, Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald and Jack Haven.

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA is set for a limited and VOD debut August 7th, courtesy of Mubi and Plan B Entertainment. Watch the official trailer below.
