The film Leviticus is a supernatural thriller written and directed by Australian filmmaker Adrian Chiarella.
It stars Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen as teenage lovers living in a fanatically religious community.
The community summons a supernatural entity to suppress their homosexual desires.
This entity sometimes appears as the boys themselves, adding a haunting and symbolic element to the story.
Some people on the internet have unfairly compared Leviticus to It Follows, calling it “the gay It Follows,” but this comparison misses the film’s deeper, more somber tone.
The movie is not the scariest horror film of the year but is often genuinely eerie and occasionally shocking.
Its greatest strength lies in how it skillfully combines dramatic storytelling with genre horror elements.
The lead actors, Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen, deliver touching and tragic performances.
Their acting helps the film bridge the gap between horror and coming-of-age genres, making it both emotionally resonant and suspenseful.
