Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (CTC)

From acclaimed director Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw The TV Glow), Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a darkly comic and blood-soaked horror odyssey led by Emmy nominee Hannah Einbinder and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Gillian Anderson.

When an ambitious young filmmaker is given the chance to revive the long-dormant Camp Miasma slasher franchise, she becomes determined to bring back the reclusive actress who made the original film a cult sensation. Her search leads her to the abandoned camp where it was first shot, a place suspended somewhere between memory and fantasy, where the mythology surrounding the franchise seems impossible to escape.

As admiration gives way to obsession, the boundary between fantasy and reality begins to dissolve. Set against a dreamlike landscape of faded sets, heightened colours and slasher iconography, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma blends deliriously exaggerated gore with humour, desire and longing in equal measure.

Wickedly funny, seductive and surreal, what begins as an attempt to resurrect a franchise becomes something far more personal: a story about the people who lose themselves in movies, and those who find themselves there.
