‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ Trailer Unleashes a Queer Slasher Nightmare From Jane Schoenbrun

Mubi has dropped the official trailer for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the latest provocative horror feature from filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun. Already making waves for its striking title and bold concept, the film blends slasher nostalgia with psychological horror, queer identity themes, and surreal storytelling. It is set for theatrical release on August 7, 2026.

The story follows a struggling indie filmmaker tasked with reviving the long-dormant Camp Miasma slasher franchise after years of bad sequels and fading fan interest. While researching the original film, she becomes obsessed with its legendary “final girl,” now a reclusive actress living in isolation. What begins as a professional collaboration soon spirals into a disturbing psychological descent.

Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson in lead roles, the film also features an eclectic ensemble cast including Amanda Fix, Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Dylan Baker, Quintessa Swindell, Kevin McDonald, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Jack Haven. The trailer hints at a feverish mix of slasher violence, emotional intimacy, and dreamlike chaos.

Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, the film continues their signature exploration of identity, obsession, and media mythology. Schoenbrun has described the project as a “sleepover classic turned midnight odyssey,” blending cozy nostalgia with disturbing psychosexual intensity. The trailer reflects that tone, oscillating between horror, desire, and fractured reality.

With its daring concept and bold visual style, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is already being positioned as one of the most unconventional horror releases of 2026. Fans of experimental genre cinema are likely to find it both unsettling and hypnotic in equal measure.
