Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson are bringing a bloody and surreal new horror movie to theaters this summer.

On Wednesday, May 27, Mubi released the trailer for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the new movie from writer-director Jane Schoenbrun (We're All Going to the World's Fair, I Saw the TV Glow). Einbinder, 31, stars in Camp Miasma as a young filmmaker who has been tasked with rebooting a fictional horror series titled Camp Miasma and sets out to recruit the original movie's star (Anderson, 57) for a comeback performance as her character.

"After years of slapdash sequels, the Camp Miasma franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection," reads an official synopsis for the movie. "But when she visits the original's star, a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium."

Camp Miasma made its world premiere earlier this month at 2026 Cannes Film Festival, where Anderson notably told Variety that she had a "panic attack" when she watched one blood-filled scene in the upcoming movie for the first time in a theater. “That blood day was pretty serious… just remembering the amount of liquid and how to not drown while shooting the scene… it was a lot!" she told the outlet, without giving anything away from the film.

“Hannah literally went to that place of terror — 100% — and you can absolutely see it, it translates," Anderson additionally told the outlet of Einbinder's performance in the movie. "As somebody who was observing, it was intense, admirable and terrifying.”

Einbinder, best known for her work on television in the series Hacks, told Variety in Cannes that she "shot a lot of very intense stuff" for the movie. “I had to really put myself in the fear and approach it incredibly seriously," she said. "I was having trouble just regulating my energy."

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is in theaters Aug. 7. The film's cast also includes Arthur Conti, Eva Victor, Zach Cherry, Amanda Fix, Sarah Sherman, Patrick Fischler, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Quintessa Swindell and Kevin McDonald.
