Following its premiere at Sundance earlier this year and following acquisition by genre giant NEON, queer Australian horror movie Leviticus from writer/director Adrian Chiarella will hit theaters on June 19.
In Chiarella's feature debut, Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen (Preacher) play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Leviticus also stars Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak) in her first movie role in three years, alongside Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night). Samantha Jennings (Talk to Me, Bring Her Back), Kristina Ceyton (The Babadook, Talk to Me), and Hannah Ngo produce the buzzy pic. Out of Sundance, NEON acquired global and foreign rights to Leviticus as part of a deal worth around $5 million.
Described by IndieWire as Heated Rivalry meets It Follows (we're already sold), Leviticus is already quite the hit with critics for its fictional spin on a, sadly, all-too real life horror – the evils of conversion therapy.
