It is an absolutely wild time to be a horror fan. The genre isn’t just evolving; it is completely rewriting the Hollywood playbook. This weekend, the liminal nightmare Backrooms lands in theaters—and it is currently on track to pull off a historic, gravity-defying box office miracle.

The world premiere of Jane Schoenbrun’s highly anticipated third feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, kicked off with the exact kind of gorgeous, blood-splattered chaos that practically guarantees future cult-classic status. The screening wrapped up with a tearful Schoenbrun hugging stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson amidst a six-minute standing ovation. The crowd was totally locked into the film’s wild narrative and aggressively over-the-top, practical gore sequences. Schoenbrun even set the tone before the projector locked in, kicking off the night by quoting an unlikely philosopher: Drake. “There’s this song by Drake called ‘Started From the Bottom,’ and it goes, ‘Started from the bottom, now we’re here,’” Schoenbrun told the cheering crowd. “It’s unbelievable… I can’t believe I’m standing up here in a room full of people who are here to watch our movie.” The Meta-Slasher We Deserve Produced by MUBI, the film is a fierce meta-slasher
