Buzzy queer supernatural horror film Leviticus is coming to theaters on June 19 from NEON, and the official trailer has arrived this afternoon. Check it out down below.
“If you see anything that looks like me… don’t go near it.”
Leviticus is rated R for “Bloody violent content, language, some sexual content and teen drug use.” The film comes from writer-director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The film’s Rotten Tomatoes score is currently 96% with 26 reviews.
