Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma leads the seven best films to watch on TV this week, a lineup that also includes Charli xcx's mockumentary The Moment and the powerful Nickel Boys. From indie horror to music satire, this week's TV schedule offers something for every film lover.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: A Dark, Delirious Must-Watch
Indie director Jane Schoenbrun returns with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a dark and delirious drama that explores how movies hold an unsettling grip on us. Hannah Einbinder (Hacks) stars as Kris, an up-and-coming queer filmmaker hired to reboot Camp Miasma, a "problematic" Friday the 13th-style slasher franchise.

For research, Kris visits the original's reclusive star, Billy (Gillian Anderson), who bizarrely lives in the film's abandoned summer camp location. As the women get closer, reality and Camp Miasma's grisly fiction start to blur in a giddy, psychosexual blowout. Catch it Friday 2 October on Mubi.
The Moment: Charli xcx's Mockumentary Blurs Fact and Fiction
The Moment is a mockumentary that sums up Charli xcx's world-exploding "Brat summer" of 2024—or perhaps razes it to the ground. As it counts down to a big arena tour and its accompanying concert film, Aidan Zamiri's tale flips between the musician being overwhelmed by sudden celebrity and a string of comically terrible Spinal Tap-ish decisions.
The Brat credit card for gay people is a highlight. Throughout, Charli keeps us guessing as to what's fact and what's not. Airs Saturday 26 September at 6.35am and 1.30pm on Sky Cinema Premiere.
Nickel Boys: A Powerful Adaptation
Based on the Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead, Nickel Boys is a harrowing and visually stunning film that follows two young men at a reform school in Florida. It's a must-watch for those who appreciate profound storytelling.
