‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ Pens a Gory, Horny Love Letter to Slasher Flicks
Slasher movies came to power in the late 1970s and early ‘80s; though most critics sneered at them, studios kept cranking them out because they were reliably profitable. And though the trend eventually faded (before reviving in the ‘90s), there will always be an audience obsessed with this subgenre—especially the classics that established its best-known tropes, including the fiercely resilient Final Girl. We see Camp Miasma posters, lobby cards, newspaper ads and clippings, an arcade game, a board game, and other tie-in trinkets.

You can tell Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma writer–director Jane Schoenbrun is among the slasher faithful right from the opening credits, which introduce you to the film’s fictional Camp Miasma franchise through imagery that pays eerily accurate homage to how Friday the 13th and its ilk were marketed back in the day.
