New Feature Film Subverts the Queer Tropes of the Slasher Genre

From All Of It WNYC

Director Jane Schoenbrun's third feature film, “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,” follows a young filmmaker, played by Hannah Einbeinder, tasked with reviving a dated -- and problematic -- slasher series, Camp Miasma. Schoenbrun's and Einbeinder discuss the film, the history of homophobic and transphobic messaging in horror, and what it's like to make a queer slasher movie.
