- Atomic7028 lipca 2026Leviticus 20:13 “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads”. Leviticus is a bold, unsettling film that confronts the intersection of religion, sexuality, and shame. It doesn’t attack faith; it attacks the misuse of faith to justify cruelty. Its portrayal of internalized homophobia is one of its strongest achievements, offering a raw look at how doctrine can become a prison when interpreted without empathy.
- macaronz28 lipca 2026Came for the Horror, Stayed for the Gay Romance 🏳️🌈 👻 A bit of a mixed bag for me. On the visual side, it's fantastic the aesthetic and overall vibe of the film are set up really well. The main issue is that it feels way more like a gay romance than an actual scary movie. In the film, a harsh religious community tries to "cleanse" two teenage boys (Naim and Ryan) of their feelings for each other. The supernatural entity that haunts them takes the literal form of each other the person they desire most. The message is that when a society forces you to suppress and feel immense shame about who you love, your own natural desires start to feel like a terrifying, inescapable monster tracking your every move. It’s basically a romance drama disguised in a spooky coat of paint. But hey, Joe Bird acts his heart out and carries the whole thing, so at least the performances didn't disappoint!
- williamw8347 dni temuThis movie really hits deep for those of us who fear just loving people. The movie is incredible, and it’s sort of a metaphor. The world around us doesn’t want queer people to love each other, so they hate, violate, threaten, and even hurt or kill us and the entity really just is that fear. I’m not sure if that was the intention behind the movie but it really does remind me of that simple, annoying fear.
- spoppie1822 dni temuPaused it at one stage to see how much of the movie was left because nothing was happening other the two main actors releasing sexual tension or kissing, only to realise there was only 10 minutes left. There was no storyline what so ever, nothing made sense and it was far from scary. Definitely wont be watching again, wont be recommending and time was completely wasted.
- Garrett Wilkins5 dni temuLeviticus wears its premise on its sleeve, building almost the entire story around the intersection of faith and sexuality. As a conservative Christian, I could have done without the film making sexuality such a dominant part of its characters' identities. I can appreciate that I wasn't the target audience, but I still found myself wishing they had been developed in ways that reached beyond that. My larger criticism, though, is that once the film establishes what it's about, it rarely expands beyond that foundation. I kept hoping it would reveal a perspective or idea I hadn't already anticipated, but it remained committed to the same conversation from beginning to end. To its credit, Leviticus doesn't overstay its welcome. The runtime is refreshingly lean, and the pacing keeps the story moving even when its ideas begin to feel repetitive. I understand why it has connected with viewers who see themselves reflected in it, and I don't question the sincerity behind what writer-director Adrian Chiarella set out to make. It just never gave me much reason to rethink my first impression. I finished the film feeling as though I'd spent most of my time exactly where I expected to be before I ever pressed play. For me, that was the biggest disappointment. I wasn't looking for the film to agree with my beliefs—I was simply hoping it would surprise me somewhere along the way, and it never really did.
- ricomckee5 dni temuWorth a watch for a unique and intresting horror film. Yes, it centers on youngmen who are gay. If this is an issue then keep scrolling back to the the T n A of the 80's. However, this was an interesting plot and storyline. Yet, as a horror film... it is missing some scares, blood, and a bit more storyline. Still, it is a good concept thatcould have been better.
- rg94008 lipca 2026The premise of Leviticus is fascinating and extremely clever. The mechanics are actually fairly simple, and for a good chunk of the early movie, the rules are actually left for the viewer to uncover by noticing how the characters behave in certain scenarios. Because everything feels so intuitive, the movie can avoid awkward exposition in the early going even if it does have someone explain the mechanics later on. More impressively, the movie is so tightly written that every aspect of its concept is working on multiple levels to explore different themes. The movie has some fairly overt metaphors related to conversion therapy, but as I started thinking through it, I realized that it could be interpreted on deeper levels as well, acting as an allegory for coming out, loneliness, suicide, and romance. The movie is dripping with symbolism, with every small detail crafted with the intention to further its messaging. I think any movie that can go beyond some half-hearted gestures towards deeper topics and actually has thought out how to develop its allegory is incredibly commendable. That said, I do think Leviticus struggles when it comes to its horror. The movie is fantastic when viewed as an allegorical gay love story, but as a horror, I think it leaves a lot on the table. In fact, I would say it isn't even scary, more just psychologically tense at parts. The most frustrating part of that is that the movie has all the right ingredients to be much better at the horror than it actually is. One of its biggest flaws is that it does not utilize do enough to put the viewer in the same position as Naim. I think the movie should have really amplified the unreliability of whether or not Naim was seeing the demon or a real person much more, tricking them in key moments so that they themselves start to question whether or not they can trust the people that are talking to Naim. As it is, I think it is very obvious when the demon is the one on screen, and this significantly reduces the tension. Also, while Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen are fantastic actors, I think they don't have the same physicality to drive some of the scares. Specifically, if you compare them to Inde Navarrette in Obsession, you can see how acting can really amplify the uncanny valley nature of these characters. Given that, I think Leviticus is a really well-written queer romance with really thoughtful themes, but as a horror, I think it feels like missed potential.
