Hold onto your seats, because the ’80s-drenched thriller that has everyone talking just dropped its second installment, and the tension is getting thicker than the hairspray. Director Bree Mills’ ambitious Girlcore trilogy, “Escape From Camp Conversion,” is back on Adult Time, and the latest episode proves the stakes are higher than ever.
A Spark of Rebellion
The first chapter left us reeling, and the second, “We’re Getting Out of Here,” throws gasoline on the fire. We meet the camp’s newest arrival, Lily (the fantastic Lulu Chu), who is thrust into the dorms with the other young women trapped in the sinister facility. In a raw, emotional scene, she confides in Jenna (Octavia Red), revealing a horrifying backstory of manipulation by a therapist (Lexi Luna) that landed her in this nightmare.
As the women, including standouts Lucy (Demi Hawks), Angela (Leana Lovings), and Samantha (Alex Coal), find solidarity in their shared trauma, Lily drops a bombshell: she’s smuggled in a cellphone. Suddenly, a flicker of hope ignites in the oppressive darkness. Escape isn’t just a dream anymore—it might be a real possibility.
“My Love Letter to Lesbian Pulp”
For director Bree Mills, this project is deeply personal. It’s the crown jewel of her celebrated Girlcore brand, which has long been a haven for lush, story-driven queer narratives.
“Girlcore has always been my love letter to lesbian pulp and queer erotica,” Mills shared. “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 trilogy, however, is on another level. It’s a massive undertaking, featuring a huge, star-studded cast and impeccable period detail that transports you straight back to the decade of neon and new wave. But beneath the stylish surface, it’s tackling serious subject matter with grace and power.
“This year, I wanted to return to the award-winning brand with our most ambitious project yet—a trilogy of films that explore themes of adversity, empowerment, and the unbreakable bonds between women,” Mills explained.
A New Wave of Storytelling
“Escape From Camp Conversion” isn’t just another release; it represents a major shift in the industry. Studios like Adult Time are increasingly backing creator-led, high-concept projects that feel more like prestige television than traditional adult content. With its serialized format, rich character development, and cinematic visuals, this trilogy is a prime example of that evolution.
And fans are absolutely eating it up. Social media is buzzing with praise for the moody cinematography, the killer soundtrack, and the powerful performances from the ensemble cast. Viewers are dissecting every clue, rooting for the heroines, and desperately theorizing about what will happen in the finale.
It’s clear that Mills’ vision of creating a timeless piece of queer cinema is resonating deeply, tapping into a desire for stories that are not only sensual but also meaningful and empowering.
“With an all-star cast, bold wardrobe and set design, and rich, stylized cinematography, I hope this trilogy becomes a timeless classic in queer cinema,” said Mills.
With one chapter left to go, the fate of the women at Camp Conversion hangs in the balance. All we know for sure is that the finale is bound to be an unforgettable conclusion to one of the year’s most talked-about series.
The second installment is streaming now on Adult Time. You can follow the visionary director on X.com for behind-the-scenes glimpses and updates.
