Forget about every Friday the 13th knock off you ever watched. Sex and Death at Camp Miasma leaves them in the dust laughing all the way. Hannah Einbinder seems perfect as a cutting age Gen X filmmaker hired to reboot a tired teenage slasher series. She travels to the camp where it all happened. Wouldn't you know the now forgotten star of the original films lives here. Gillian Anderson channels her best Gloria Swanson - explained as "...you know, like the old lady in Sunset Boulevard." The deaths are over the top grizzly, the monster is ridiculous, the lampoon of Hollywood execs lands right on the money. Watch out for all the metaphors about sex, and violence, and fame and generations. This thing is great fun. Don't take Grandma, unless your grandma is Jamie Lee Curtis.
