We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is an intimate coming-of-age horror film

Jane Schoenbrun’s debut feature, *We’re All Going to the World’s Fair*, follows teenager Casey as she undertakes the “World’s Fair Challenge,” an online-driven ritual that blends creepypasta lore, a blood-letting mantra and a mysterious video that condenses classic horror tropes into a single, unsettling performance. The film uses this intimate, single-room setting to explore themes of identity, digital obsession and the blurred line between reality and online myth.
