Jane Schoenbrun makes horror motion pictures. Precisely what kind of horror motion pictures? That’s laborious to say. Their 2021 characteristic movie debut We’re All Going to the World’s Honest and their 2024 breakout I Noticed the TV Glow each have one thing akin to monsters and tense sequences. However the horror comes from one thing deeper, one thing inexplicable.
In some methods, the teaser for Schoenbrun’s newest movie alerts a flip in the direction of extra conventional horror ideas. Seconds into the trailer for Teenage Intercourse and Demise at Camp Miasma, a blade stabs by means of a frightened younger lady. Later, a determine carrying what seems to be a tv on their head stabs somebody in a subject, sending a geyser of blood into the air. But, these moments solely come between lush pictures of a filmmaker (performed by comic Hannah Einbinder) strolling by means of a snowy subject or Gillian Anderson rising from the shadows and searching like Carmen Sandiego’s purple-clad cousin.
The trailer teaches nearly nothing in regards to the plot of Teenage Intercourse and Demise at Camp Miasma, which is in line with Schoenbrun’s personal feedback in regards to the film. “Teenage Intercourse and Demise at Camp Miasma is my greatest try on the ‘sleepover traditional,’” they advised The Hollywood Reporter in Might, 2025; “An insane but cozy midnight odyssey that beckons to unsuspecting viewers from the horror part on the native video retailer.”
In keeping with the few plot particulars launched to date, Teenage Intercourse and Demise at Camp Miasma stars Einbinder as a queer director employed to make the most recent installment within the long-running slasher sequence Camp Miasma. When she recruits the star of the unique movie to reprise her position, the director begins present process a sequence of hallucinations, which will definitely create a way of existential vacancy and ineffable horror. Additionally, there will probably be nice music and surprisingly humorous jokes.
