"Kris" (Hannah Einbinder) has managed to convince some investors to consider funding her attempt to resurrect a dated horror fanchise set at a remote holiday camp. To that end, she has tracked down the woman who was the original damsel in distress in the series's very first outing decades ago. "Billy" (Gillian Anderson) has been fairly reclusive ever since that first success, and has retreated to live at the very camp in which the films were based. Now in the depths of winter, "Kris" braves the snowy conditions to pay her a visit - and her arrival at the eerily silent camp sets in train quite an emotionally and psychologically charged few hours with her enigmatic hostess. I think my problem with this stemmed from the decision of auteur Jane Schoenbrun to put her own experiences front and centre here and rather leave the mysterious substance of the plot to play second fiddle to that. Clea…
This did not hit the way I thought it would, and I am pleasantly surprised. If you are not into some rather "out-there" stuff this might not be for you, because this is not your average slasher with a fun twist. This is a deeply strange, surrealistic meta-delving 'deconstruction' (gosh that term gets overused) take on the genre, through a strange character's journey. It is a mess and a fun one at that. If you are not up for this rather ballsy and cerebral thing you should just stay away as this is not for you, but if you are in the mood for slasher with a side of mind-bend coupled with some very strange sexual takes, then you should go for this.
# Analysis of Jane Schoenbrun’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” (2026) ### “I saw ya and wanted to scare ya. It’s only fair, right? You already seen me.” It is no secret that Jane Schoenbrun (they/them) references pop culture throughout their filmography. The Pink Opaque of *I Saw the TV Glow* (2024) was derivative of *Buffy the Vampire Slayer,* while *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma* (2026) nodded to slasher flicks ranging from *Peeping Tom* (1960) to *Wes Craven’s New Nightmare* (1994) and *Sleepaway Camp* (1983). Beneath the references and homages, Schoenbrun also engages with time, pushing audiences to stay present in their stories and in themselves. By referencing essential slashers and confronting time, Schoenbrun puts their work in direct conversation with the genre’s aesthetics and flaws, using time as an open door to opportunity and rebirth thro…
Horny, bloody, queer, hilarious, and completely unafraid to get weird. I loved how it takes the sleazy summer camp slasher and turns it into something surprisingly personal and sweet without losing all the gore and ridiculousness. Gillian Anderson is having an absolute blast, and Hannah Einbinder is great alongside her. It gets a little too caught up in its own ideas sometimes, but I honestly didn't care. Such a strange, messy, funny fever dream of a movie.
