Here’s your first look at Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma, which hits cinemas on August 7. 

Starring Hannah Einbinder (Hacks) and Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), the film debuted in the Un Certain Regard competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The film also features music by Alex G, who returned for his third collaboration with Schoenbrun. 

The film’s official synopsis reads: Set at a summer camp unraveling under increasingly bizarre circumstances, the film follows a queer filmmaker (Einbinder) attempting to resurrect a fading horror franchise from a bygone era, determined to enlist its original final girl (Anderson) in a last attempt at revival. 

As the boundaries between fiction and reality begin to dissolve, the filmmaker and her star spiral into a psychosexual frenzy, while characters from the original Camp Miasma meet their fates at the hands of a new slasher portrayed by Jack Haven (I Saw the TV Glow). 

The film’s wider ensemble features Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Eva Victor, and Jasmin Savoy Brown.

In his review out of Cannes, Deadline’s Damon Wise described Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma as an “instant midnight-movie classic.”

The film was produced by Plan B and Mubi. The film will close this year’s Frameline Film Festival. Mubi is handling the theatrical release.
