Get ready to crank up the synth-pop and tease your hair, because the ’80s-soaked world of Girlcore is back and bigger than ever. Following a cliffhanger that left fans buzzing, Adult Time has just dropped the second chapter of its ambitious trilogy, Escape From Camp Conversion, and the plot is getting thicker than the hairspray.
The new installment, masterminded by award-winning director Bree Mills, picks up right in the thick of the tension. A new arrival, Lily (played by the incredible Lulu Chu), is thrust into the pastel-colored prison of Camp Conversion, a so-called “therapy” center with sinister motives. She quickly bonds with the other captives, including Jenna (Octavia Red), revealing a harrowing tale of manipulation by a therapist (Lexi Luna) that landed her there. But Lily didn’t come empty-handed—she’s smuggled in a cellphone, a tiny piece of modern tech that represents a massive glimmer of hope in this retro nightmare.
“My Love Letter to Lesbian Pulp”
For creator Bree Mills, this project is deeply personal. It’s a continuation of a brand she’s been building since 2018, one that has consistently pushed the boundaries of queer erotica. In a recent statement, she perfectly captured the essence of the series.
“Girlcore has always been my love letter to lesbian pulp and queer erotica. Set in the vibrant world of the 1980s and inspired by the pop culture of that era, it’s been an incredible cinematic universe to build.”
This isn’t just another scene; it’s a full-blown cinematic event. The trilogy marks a major evolution for Girlcore, which started with stylish, standalone anthology episodes. Now, Mills is diving deep into long-form storytelling, giving these characters and their struggles room to breathe. Research on fan forums and social media shows audiences are here for it, praising the high-end production values and comparing its campy-but-sincere vibe to cult classics like But I’m a Cheerleader.
More Than a Scene, It’s a Statement
What makes Escape From Camp Conversion so significant isn’t just the plot—it’s what it represents for the industry. Adult Time, with Mills as its Chief Creative Officer, is at the forefront of a major shift towards creator-driven platforms. Instead of just churning out content, they’re investing heavily in visionaries like Mills to build entire worlds. This trilogy is reportedly Adult Time’s highest-budget lesbian production ever, a clear sign that they believe in the power of narrative-driven, high-quality queer cinema.
The all-star cast, featuring standouts like Leana Lovings, Demi Hawks, and Alex Coal alongside Chu and Red, has been praised online for its incredible chemistry. Fans on X and Reddit are lighting up threads discussing the nuanced performances and the palpable sense of camaraderie between the women as they plot their escape.
What’s Next for the Women of ‘Girlcore’?
With a smuggled phone now in play, the stakes are higher than ever. The girls have a potential lifeline to the outside world, but with the camp’s staff watching their every move, freedom is still a long way off. As the intercom buzzes for the next “therapy” session, you can feel the pressure building to a breaking point.
This trilogy is more than just a throwback; it’s a modern story of empowerment, rebellion, and solidarity. As Mills herself hopes, it’s a project destined to leave a lasting mark.
“I hope this trilogy becomes a timeless classic in queer cinema.”
Chapter Two of Escape From Camp Conversion is now streaming on AdultTime.com, with the final chapter set to conclude the epic story later this summer.
