THE GREAT DIRECTOR'S next project revealed.
Schoenbrun came up with the title for their next feature before anything else. “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” which will be funnier and grislier than their previous ventures, follows a queer filmmaker hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher franchise. The director fixates on the prospect of casting the “final girl” from the original movie, and the two women descend into a frenzy of psychosexual mania. Schoenbrun, an acolyte of the horror genre, had long been fascinated by the gender deviance connecting its killers—from “Psycho” ’s Norman Bates to Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs”—and was convinced that this array of sadists, perverts, and psychopaths had “created and codified an idea of transness as monstrous.” With “Camp Miasma,” they aim to both honor and critique that lineage.
