60 of 208 · most liked firstI reviewed LEVITICUS, which frustrates by burying its excellent conceit, strong performances, and devastating twist inside a movie that fails to distinguish itself sufficiently from IT FOLLOWS, a clear source of inspiration. So, so close to greatness. www.patreon.com/scumbelievab...

Most horror movies deliver quick scares that fade away quickly, but this one? The storyline sticks with you. It’s the kind of film... Full article: franksfilmreview.com/2026/06/19/l...
positive · AI labelView post →Just saw Leviticus and it was overall great. This has been such another great year for horror movies
positive · AI labelView post →with all due respect to Leviticus (a very good movie!) the biggest scare of all was realizing that I am now “Mia Wasikowska is old enough to play the mom of a teen” years old
positive · AI labelView post →really liked Leviticus, i think less as a horror movie and more as a touching queer teenage romance
positive · AI labelView post →I'm asking all of my movie-going oomfies to show up for Leviticus like you did for Obsession and Backrooms! Let's make 2026 horror girl summer, AND see a very gay film.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a girl, I wish the superhero girl movies weren't the ones to bomb. As a grownup, I gotta admit Leviticus, Girls Like Girls, The Invite, and Jackass are all on my list before another superhero movie. Multitudes etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just got out of Leviticus and let me tell you, i’m feeling some type of way(s). VERY good movie, though
positive · AI labelView post →LEVITICUS was fantastic. i feel so spoiled when a movie is both gay and also good. tons of lovely shots, a really crushing small town atmosphere, and a great understated score to match. thank you, gay horror film, for bringing me joy 🖤

neutral · AI labelView post →Leviticus was a great gay horror movie. It was like "It Follows" but more cohesive thematically and not as goofy; like the monster from Leviticus is more threatening overall imo. It's less tangible.

Between this & LEVITICUS, glad to see that they've picked up two of the very best films of the fest to give them their moment on the big screen 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's #horrormovie is 'Leviticus'. In a remote, very religious community, 2 boys fall for each other. Forced to go through a 'conversion' ritual that results in violence. This is an excellent allegory on the disgusting practice of conversion therapy.🎬🎃 #horror #horrorsky #corgi #CorgiCrew

An Australian horror movie about two gay boys who's religious parents place a curse upon them that will kill them if they give in to their desires... #Horror #HorrorSky #FilmSky #MovieSky youtu.be/m_-zFmWUJ3Q
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway I watched Leviticus the other day and it's a great horror film that is very Australian. But I could see those who want an Australian monoculture would be very mad about it if they discovered it is a queer movie about Christianity and homophobia made by a second generation immigrant.

neutral · AI labelView post →Leviticus (2026) is a tragic yet romantic horror film about two boys in love, cursed by their religious parents to live in fear of one another. Its essentially It Follows, but the metaphor is Christian conversion therapy. Its also one of the best horror movies of the year so far. 👍

neutral · AI labelView post →Leviticus is one of the most powerful movies I've seen this year. It's a great example of taking your influences and doing your own thing with them. It's rare a movie has both that much rage and affection inside it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Writer/director Adrian Chiarella's Leviticus is an Australian horror film in which a young man undergoes a gay exorcism, and gets pursued by a deadly demon which can take the form of a loved one. There's some novel twists on the Obsession template here. 3 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/09/06/l...

Have to rewatch the Ira Sachs’s Peter Hujar film every few months; the new Kiarostami was also absolutely great. Conclusion is all movies should be around 80 minutes.

neutral · AI labelView post →In this age of sequels, remakes, reboots and requels, a movie like Leviticus is a marvel to behold. Dealing with issues of gay conversion therapy and inability to trust the people you love, Leviticus is inventive, genuinely upsetting and emotionally affecting. We need more horror like this.
positive · AI labelView post →Now seated for Leviticus #Filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →This is seriously a beautiful “horror” film that absolutely lives on after the film is done. The acting was so phenomenal from both leads and the atmosphere was so uneasy the whole time. In the end hope is so much stronger than fear and I loved this film. Highly recommend. #Leviticus
