Queer supernatural horror film Leviticus is coming to theaters on June 19 from NEON, and the Sundance horror film has received its rating from the MPA this week.
Leviticus is rated R for “Bloody violent content, language, some sexual content and teen drug use.” Check out the previously released official poster down below.
The film comes from writer-director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The film’s Rotten Tomatoes score is currently 96% with 24 reviews.
Stay tuned for the official trailer for NEON’s horror movie Leviticus.
