Leviticus might be one of the boldest horror films of the year—but is it actually scary?

In this spoiler-free review, I break down why Leviticus is much more than a traditional horror movie. Directed by Adrian Chiarella, this slow-burn psychological horror explores love, desire, religion, repression, and identity through one of the most original horror concepts in recent years.

I discuss what worked, what didn't, the incredible performances by Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen, the film's bleak industrial atmosphere, its powerful themes, and why I think it feels like a mix of It Follows and Obsession. I also explain why the central monster is one of the most fascinating horror metaphors I've seen in a long time.

If you enjoy elevated horror, psychological horror, A24-style films, coming-of-age horror, or character-driven stories that stay with you long after the credits roll, this review is for you.
