First Look: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma Slashes Into Theaters August 7

Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson descend into slasher legacy chaos in Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.

MUBI has unveiled first-look stills and a U.S. theatrical release date for Jane Schoenbrun’s latest feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which will open in theaters August 7, 2026. Written and directed by Schoenbrun, the film marks their third feature following the critical ascent of I Saw the TV Glow and continues a body of work rooted in trans identity, queer longing and genre subversion.

Led by Emmy-winning actress Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, the ensemble also includes Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald and Jack Haven. The film is produced by Plan B, financed by MUBI and will roll out across North America, Latin America, the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand. The Match Factory is handling remaining worldwide sales.

After years of diminishing returns and cynical sequels, the fictional Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an ambitious young director determined to resurrect it. When she seeks out the original film’s now-reclusive scream queen, the two women descend into a hallucinatory spiral of blood, desire and creative obsession. What begins as legacy repair quickly mutates into something far more intimate and unhinged.

Schoenbrun’s prior feature, I Saw the TV Glow, premiered at Sundance before traveling to Berlinale, San Sebastián and SXSW, earning multiple Independent Spirit Award nominations. With Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the filmmaker appears to push further into metatextual horror territory — interrogating fandom, authorship and the erotic charge that pulses beneath genre mythology.

If I Saw the TV Glow blurred the line between identity and media consumption, this latest project seems poised to rip it open. On paper, it reads like a slasher resurrection story. In Schoenbrun’s hands, expect something far stranger — a fever dream about who owns horror, who survives it, and what happens when the final girl refuses to fade away.
