Over the course of the past several weeks, as they gear up for the wide release of their new meta slasher film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Jane Schoenbrun has been making the rounds in the press.
After making two phenomenal films across the past several years, in the form of We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and I Saw the TV Glow, Schoenbrun began gearing up to tackle their biggest and most ambitious project to-date: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.
But as Schoenbrun detailed in the interview, it is very much not a film that looks down on traditional slashers; rather, it celebrates them.
Others are underseen and underappreciated gems, such as Psycho II and Peeping Tom, each of which is drenched in thematic intent, meta techniques, and utter compulsion.
Ultimately, this bodes exceedingly well for Schoenbrun’s horror tastes (as if fans weren’t already aware of that) and only makes me all the more excited to check out Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma as soon as humanly possible.
