Overview
- The full official trailer premiered Wednesday, May 27, offering extended footage, the vent‑masked killer Little Death, and the film’s blend of surreal visuals and graphic content.
- Jane Schoenbrun wrote and directed the film, which stars Hannah Einbinder as a filmmaker and Gillian Anderson as the original ‘final girl,’ with Jack Haven playing Little Death and Alex G returning as composer.
- Mubi will distribute the film in theaters and Plan B produced it, with Mubi setting an August 7, 2026 U.S. release and scheduling a June–July preview tour at festivals and specialty venues.
- Critics at Cannes gave the film strong early praise, including a standing ovation and the Queer Palm, and early metrics cited by multiple outlets show highly positive reviews and a strong Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The film is billed as a queer, meta deconstruction of slasher‑reboot culture that foregrounds sapphic psychosexual themes while reworking familiar summer‑camp horror iconography.
