The Film Stage
It’s tempting to say that the seeds of their latest movie, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, were planted over those four weeks—not least New Nightmare, Wes Craven’s proto-Scream deconstruction of a genre he helped to build.
But like most attempts to analyze this singular movie, Schoenbrun beats you to the punch.
Whether those contrasting energies of light and dark always blend in Camp Miasma, however, I’m not so sure.
The story follows Einbinder’s initially insular filmmaker as she visits Presley’s home––what turns out to be the sleepaway camp where the first Miasma movie was filmed.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and will be released on August 7 by MUBI.
