Mubi has released the trailer for “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” a gruesome meta-take on the slasher genre of yore. The film, starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, is set for theatrical release via the distributor on August 7.
Dubbed a “new kind of horror remake,” the trailer gives fans a peek into the highly stylized world created by director Jane Schoenbrun; “If it get’s too real,” Anderson’s voiceover says, “you can always turn it off.” Spooky!
The film is set to follow a young director (Einbinder) enthusiastic about resurrecting the Camp Miasma slash franchise after “years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom,” the official logline reads. “But when she visits the original movie’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear and delirium.”
The film is the third from Schoenbrun, who wrote and directed “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair” in 2021 and “I Saw the TV Glow” in 2024.
In addition to Einbinder and Anderson, the film’s cast includes Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald and Jack Haven.
Before she made her horror debut, Einbinder starred as Ava Daniels, a comedy writer, in four seasons of the hit Max Original series “Hacks.” In 2025, she won her first Emmy, for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series, for the role. Best known for her roles in “The X-Files” and “Sex Education,” Gillian Anderson most recently appeared on Netflix’s “The Abandons.”
Mubi financed while Plan B produced. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” will be released in North America, Latin America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand.
