Two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium in this new horror from Jane Schoenbrun.
After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original's star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
Opening this year's SCENE, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a deliriously entertaining queer horror from Jane Schoenbrun, whose groundbreaking work has rapidly established them as one of the defining trans voices in contemporary cinema.
Fresh from winning the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival and earning rave reviews, the film pairs Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson in a spellbinding, sizzling two-hander, their irresistible sapphic chemistry unfolding against a blood-soaked love letter to VHS slashers and cult summer camp horror.
Funny, sexy, stylish and gloriously unhinged, make sure you check out this preview before the film is released on Friday 21st August.
