Queer supernatural horror film Leviticus is coming to theaters on June 19 from NEON, and a brand new official poster has been released this afternoon. Embrace it 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 97% with 32 reviews.
