Leviticus is in theaters now. Two teenagers in a deeply religious Australian small town fall for each other. They are outed. A pastor calls in a deliverance healer for a conversion therapy exorcism. After that, a shapeshifting violent entity begins haunting each boy, taking the form of whoever they desire most.
Ninety-three percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Adrian Chiarella directed it, his debut feature. Mia Wasikowska plays the grief-stricken mother. Joe Bird, who you know from Talk to Me, carries the lead.
If It Follows made you watch the horizon for something walking toward you, this is the film you have been waiting for. Neon distributed it. Sundance picked it for the Midnight section.
Before you go, watch It Follows. The DNA is unmistakable.
The monster is internalized homophobia given a shape. The best horror film in theaters right now is the one nobody is telling you about.
