Jane Schoenbrun breaks down how TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA honors franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Halloween. She says part of the joy is the compounding sequels and remakes, hating on them, and then reclaiming Jason Takes Manhattan because it's crazy that he doesn't actually get to Manhattan until the last 20 minutes. The film explores gender, sexuality, politics, and power dynamics in those movies both on and off camera without a straightforward moralizing finger wag.
