    Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma

    Jane Schoenbrun's third feature continues with their established themes of nostalgia, belong and gender euphoria. This powerfully meta take on the slasher explores the intersection between sex and death in a way that's funny, insightful and deeply moving. We investigate the ways Schoenbrun's distinctive storytelling investigates the "problematic" baggage of the horror movies we love and how they've made us who we are.
