A hauntingly beautiful slasher film that reimagines horror tropes as a mirror for identity, desire, and transformation. Kris, a cinephile obsessed with fictional slashers, journeys to a remote camp to meet Billy, a vanished icon of those films — only to find their encounter becomes an improvisational courtship where reality and fiction dissolve. Through dissociation and shared fantasy, they explore pleasure, trauma, and selfhood, culminating in a surreal, cathartic plunge into the very world they’ve imagined. Directed by Chloe Schoenbrun, who transitioned while making it, the film is a celebration of queer joy, rebirth, and the enduring power of desire — a “little death” that leaves you alive, open, and changed.
