Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (Jane Schoenbrun, 2026)

[The Narrator Returns]

Jane Schoenbrun's next film will be titled Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which they reportedly described as being a cross between Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Friday the 13th. Additionally, they told Gregg Araki that it will be

all about sex—essentially a movie about learning to enjoy sex after transition. Pre-transition, it wasn’t that I was asexual—I had plenty of desire—but having good sex in the wrong body was impossible. What was available was full dissociation, which is obviously a theme in the first two films. … This is literally what my next movie is about, learning to enjoy sex. Just a fun movie about learning how to overcome sexual trauma and stop dissociating during queer sex.

This will shoot this summer with a release next year from Mubi, and it stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson.

This sounds great. I am begging them to come up with literally any other title for the thing.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

I'm beginning to get the sense that Jane Schoenbrun is quite the Videodrome fan.

Despite not being as fond of I Saw the TV Glow as many were, this looks pretty fun.

Anyone recognise which Blue Nile/Paul Buchanan song that is? Shazam isn’t helping.

I thought the font used for the cast and crew names as well as "Coming To Theaters Soon" was the same used for Twin Peaks.

Oddly, the trailer seems to have disappeared from the EW site linked, so here it is on YouTube.

Oh, definitely. Schoenbrun proudly wears her influences on her sleeve and is a huge "Twin Peaks" fan. And apart from the clear references to Lynch and Cronenberg and the Friday the 13th series, there's a reference to A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors with the punk outfit/mohawk wig.

Seems that's because it's a new song created for the film called Pain Is the Heart of Love

Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex G (aka Alex Giannascoli) has composed the original score for Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming horror feature Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. He has also collaborated with The Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan on an original song (Pain Is the Heart of Love), which is featured in the first teaser trailer

I jumped to this thread precisely because of the title!

Trailer.

The Cannes reactions made it sound pretty distinct (if naturally building) from TV Glow in ways the trailers still seem to be hiding in favor of that same vibe, I would not have guessed from them that this is by accounts an out-and-out comedy in addition to everything else. It’s probably better when I feel confident a trailer isn’t showing me the whole movie.
