Hired to breathe fresh creative life into a declining 1980s slasher franchise, passionate horror writer Kris (Hannah Einbinder) travels to a secluded summer camp to track down the series' original final girl, reclusive actress Billy (Gillian Anderson). Kris insists on casting the former star to avoid derivative studio tropes, but their professional collaboration quickly shifts into an intense, unpredictable bond. Isolated together in the woods, the two women untangle the ways the brutal fictional films shaped their real lives, triggering a hallucinatory, blood-soaked descent into forbidden desire, shared delirium, and unexpected self-discovery.

Queer cinema and genre auteur Jane Schoenbrun directs this clever, meta-narrative horror comedy, expanding on the cult success of I Saw the TV Glow. The vibrant transgressive indie production captured the coveted Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.
