Film lovers, it’s that time again... Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club is coming back with a splash. Your favourite screening series returns with a preview of Jane Schoenbrun’s much-anticipated take on the slasher-horror genre, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Watch the trailer below.

The follow-up to Schoenbrun’s acclaimed We’re All Going to the World's Fair (2021) and I Saw the TV Glow (2024) follows a young filmmaker named Kris (played by Hannah Einbinder) who has been tasked with revitalising the fictional Camp Miasma slasher franchise after years of waning fandom and uninspiring sequels. When she visits the original film’s reclusive star Billy (Gillian Anderson) however, things take a psychosexual turn.

Promising blood, sex, fear and delirium, the film takes inspiration from horror classics including Psycho and Friday the 13th. However, it also comes at the genre from a subversive angle, via Schoenbrun’s unique and extremely personal creative vision.

“The slasher genre in general is the horniest genre in the world – like one degree removed from porn,” they note, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma partly deals with their own changing perspective on sex and intimacy post-transition. Many horrors in the past also perpetuated harmful stereotypes and open transphobia, which offers up another dimension for the film. “Especially in the 80s, before the internet was around, there were these scantily-clad girls running around getting chopped up by a heavy breathing killer who was almost always also a sexual and gender deviant,” they add. “So, what's going on there?”

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma premiered as the opening film of the Un Certain Regard section at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, taking home the Queer Palm. I Saw the TV Glow’s Jack Haven, Amanda Fix, Patrick Fischler, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, and Zach Cherry star alongside Enbinder and Anderson.
