Film screening of Jane Schoenbrun's horror feature, a homage to 1980s slasher movies, starring Gillian Anderson and Jasmin Savoy Brown.
Jane Schoenbrun's horror feature Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is showing at Harbour Lights Picturehouse this weekend, with screenings on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September. It's a 112-minute film, and it carries an 18 certificate, so keep that in mind if you're bringing anyone along.
The story follows a queer director who becomes obsessed with casting the original film's 'final girl' — that one survivor who makes it through the night in a slasher movie. It's a fixation that pulls both women into psychological and sexual chaos, and the whole thing is built as a homage to 1980s slasher films, so expect the tropes of the era to be right there in the mix. It's a queer take on a genre that usually plays by a very specific set of rules.
On screen, you'll find Gillian Anderson, Patrick Fischler and Jasmin Savoy Brown. Anderson is a big name to have in a horror like this, and the 112-minute runtime gives the story plenty of room to breathe rather than rushing through the kills. It's a feature, not a short, so you've got a full evening's watch.

As for the venue, Harbour Lights is a two-screen Picturehouse overlooking the marina in Ocean Village, so it's a good spot to hang out before or after. They've got a bar and café on site, and they welcome four-legged companions in both the indoor and outdoor seating, which is handy if you're coming down with a dog. The film runs on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September, and it's an 18, 112 minutes long.
