In this both horrifying and sensual debut, teenagers Naim and Ryan live in a remote, conservative village in the grip of a religious group that aims to 'cure' young sinners. The two boys, drawn to each other and discovering their sexuality, must flee from a violent entity that takes the form of the one they desire most: each other.

Sundance hit ‘Leviticus’ is at times sensual and just as often blood-curdling; the latest addition to the growing list of queer horror hits you must see! The core of this relentless story is an authentic reflection on what it means to love queerly, despite the persistent dangers from within and without.

When a supposed 'cleansing ceremony' gets completely out of hand, Naim and Ryan are hunted by a violent entity that takes the form of the one the victim desires most. While they cannot fully trust each other, Naim and Ryan try to escape the supernatural force, their suffocating community, and the adults who have abandoned them. Thanks to the magnetic chemistry between the lead actors, this queer 'coming-of-age' horror forms a poignant reflection on what it means to love and desire openly in a world that is often hostile towards you.
