It was one of the most acclaimed movies<\/a> out of the 2026 Cannes Film<\/a> Festival \u2014 now, Jane Schoenbrun<\/a>\u2018s \u201cTeenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma<\/a>\u201d is heading into a summer tour<\/a> and a theatrical release from Mubi starting August 7.<\/p>\n

Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson star in a bloody, lusty, sapphic meta-horror movie centered around the re-making of a fading slasher franchise called \u201cCamp Miasma.\u201d Einbinder plays the enthusiastic young director, Kris, hired to resurrect the franchise with a \u201cwoke\u201d perspective, per the committee of executives overseeing her every creative move. Kris decides to visit the movie\u2019s original star, Billy Presley, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery who lives in the campgrounds where early iterations of the franchise were shot. As Kris opens herself up to a sexual awakening as well as a creative one, the two women fall into gory, delirious psychosexual freefall.<\/p>\n

Schoenbrun, who wrote and directed \u201cTeenage Sex\u201d after their first two features \u201cWe\u2019re All Going to the World\u2019s Fair\u201d and \u201cI Saw the TV Glow,\u201d told IndieWire<\/a> at the Cannes Film Festival that the new film is about \u201ccoming into one\u2019s own body, one\u2019s own identity, one\u2019s own sexuality, for me, for the first time in my life at age 34 \u2026 the movie is about teenage things. The movie is about stuff that most people figure out about themselves when they\u2019re 15 or 16, because I didn\u2019t get a first puberty that made sense. What else can I tell you? Yeah, it\u2019s a movie about sex.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you guys watch it, you tell me, but I think it\u2019s about as commercial as I can do, which is maybe not commercial,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

More from my review of the film<\/a>: \u201cIn terms of craftsmanship, \u2018Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma\u2019 is through and through a Jane Schoenbrun movie; there is absolutely no one else, alive or dead, who could have made a feature that looks and feels like this one. The pas de deux between Billy and Kris is entrancingly sexy, and the film\u2019s love relationship to movie magic is just as romantic, from Anderson\u2019s grand-dame costuming to the matte paintings that serve as backdrops in both the film-within-the-film and the one containing it. Brooklyn hipster-adored musician Alex G returns to contribute melancholic, acoustic songcraft, while \u2018TV Glow\u2019 cinematographer Eric Yue delivers on Schoenbrun\u2019s promise of making the kind of cozily sinister movie you\u2019d watch furtively in your friend\u2019s basement during adolescent sleepovers.<\/p>\n
