## Key points

- Schoenbrun’s new horror film is praised as emotionally resonant but intentionally cryptic.
- Einbinder’s filmmaker meets Anderson’s reclusive former slasher star at a remote camp.
- The review awards the film an A-.

## Summary

Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is reviewed as an ambitious, deliberately elusive film that combines horror, sexuality and personal identity. The review argues that Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder’s committed performances give emotional coherence to a story whose allegory and relationships remain intentionally ambiguous.

Einbinder plays Kris, a 29-year-old independent filmmaker hired to revive the fictional Camp Miasma slasher franchise with a new origin story. She travels to the snow-covered camp to meet Anderson’s Billy, the original film’s reclusive star, who has withdrawn from acting; over several days, Kris confronts sexual confusion while Billy faces the reasons for her isolation. The reviewer gives the MUBI release an A- and highlights its use of slasher imagery, including the killer Little Death, to connect sex, death, bodies and bodily fluids.
