The visionary filmmaker behind A24's *I Saw the TV Glow** *(2024) is back with another mind-bending twist on the horror genre.

The new teaser for Jane Schoenbrun's *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma*, debuting exclusively with **, offers a first look at the trippy horror film within a horror film starring *Hacks*' Hannah Einbinder and *The* *X-Files' *Gillian Anderson.

Described as "funnier and grislier" than their previous project — which followed two high schoolers, played by Justice Smith and Jack Haven, who bond over their favorite fictional TV show — Schoenbrun's new movie involves a fictional, once-popular horror film series that's running out of steam.

Hannah Einbinder in 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma'.

"After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the *Camp Miasma* slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection," reads the official synopsis. "But when she visits the original movie's star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium."

Based on the teaser, Einbinder appears to be that starry-eyed filmmaker, while Anderson takes on the mysterious "final girl" from *Camp Miasma*'s past.

"There is a hole at the bottom of the lake where the movies come from," Anderson intones to her costar in the teaser, adding ominously, "He always comes back."

After pausing to consider, a befuddled Einbinder replies, "What?"

Eva Victor (*Sorry, Baby*), Zach Cherry (*Severance*), Sarah Sherman (*Saturday Night Live*), Jasmin Savoy Brown (*Scream 7*), and Jack Haven (*I Saw the TV Glow*) also star, among others.

Produced by Mubi and Brad Pitt's Plan B, *Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma *is the third film from Schoenbrun, following *TV Glow *and *We're All Going to the World's Fair *(2021). Like their previous films, *Camp Miasma *promises to explore trans identity through the lens of queer horror.

In a profile for *The New Yorker*, Schoenbrun noted their fascination with gender deviance in horror, citing characters such as *Psycho*'s Norman Bates and *The* *Silence of the Lambs' *Buffalo Bill as having "created and codified an idea of transness as monstrous." The new film, the profile teased, would both critique and honor that history.**

Schoenbrun has also described it as "essentially a movie about learning to enjoy sex after transition."

*Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma *hits theaters in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 7, with additional territories to follow.
