Billed as “a new kind of horror remake” from I Saw The TV Glow writer-director Jane Schoenbrun, Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma doesn’t skimp on any of it. With allusions to Videodrome, Friday The 13th, Sleepaway Camp, and maybe a little Grand Budapest Hotel, for good measure, the first teaser offers a glimpse of Schoenbrun’s latest evolution, which continues their interest in how the pop culture of their youth shaped the person they became. Shot by TV Glow cinematographer Eric Yue, the teaser hints at an even more accomplished visual style. Schoenbrun’s hallmarks, however, are present from the very first shot, in which a child, transfixed by television, sits way too close to the screen as some disembodied voice whispers, “If it gets too real, you can always turn it off.” 

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.

Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Kevin McDonald, Quintessa Swindell, and Jack Haven round out the supporting cast. The film opens in theaters on August 7.
