A sleepover classic in the making, Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma is the upcoming new movie from Jane Schoenbrun, the writer-director behind We’re All Going To The World’s Fair and I Saw The TV Glow. Now with some first-look pictures released today, we have a better look at their latest atmospheric coming-of-age nightmare for the chronically online. However, based on the spiky picture, Camp Miasma takes a more direct stab at horror. With Schoenbrun’s metaphysical fears of a life spent in front of screens in tow, Camp Miasma follows the reboot of a Friday The 13th-esque slasher series and the terror that goes into making it.

Here’s the synopsis:

“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 movie’s star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.”

Camp Miasma stars Hacks’ Hannah Einbinder and Agent Scully herself, Gillian Anderson, as well as a pretty exciting supporting cast of legendary character actors and new faces, including Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald, and Jack Haven.

In a statement last year, Shoenbrun teased the movie as their “best attempt at the ‘sleepover classic.'”

“I make movies I wish existed when I was a kid,” Schoenbrun said. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is my best attempt at the ‘sleepover classic’: an insane yet cozy midnight odyssey that beckons to unsuspecting viewers from the horror section at the local video store. I couldn’t be more excited to be heading to sleepaway camp this summer with the mad comic genius Hannah Einbinder, the legendary Gillian Anderson, and the daring folks at MUBI and Plan B, who by greenlighting this movie have summoned a plague-like flood of blood, guts, and various other fluids to rain down on us all.”

Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma opens in theaters on August 7.
