Critics Consensus

Merging an emotionally-involving queer relationship with its clever monster concept, Leviticus executes its intriguing hook with eerie aplomb.

Audience Says

Suspenseful horror and compelling characters don’t always go hand-in-hand, but Leviticus successfully pairs both, delivering a hauntingly romantic and refreshingly original film.

The film doesn’t trust its audience to understand [its] themes without having them spelled out...There is still much to appreciate in Leviticus, though.

If you’re not already a dedicated horror buff, it may take some effort to buy into this idea, but the three young actors have no such trouble.

Breathtakingly well-crafted, Leviticus clearly has queer teen audiences in mind -- all three of these films do -- but not exclusively. Yes, Leviticus fills a representation gap. It's also freakin' scary.

A tender, terrifying movie made all the more effective by its refusal to preach to the choir.

It succeeds as both a psychological horror story and a sharp social allegory. Ultimately, Leviticus leaves a lasting impression as a welcome addition to contemporary queer horror.

"Leviticus" doesn’t have the formal mystery of the best of them. It can be blunt, and sometimes it explains the nightmare after it has already shown it to us. But when it finds its pulse, it cuts.

Very very gay. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the camera work. Wish it showed more of what was happening

Has an intriguing premise but doesn’t slow burn enough or build up the psychological aspects. (The “demon” goes to attacking in a few seconds, why not mess with heads more?) But interesting premise with some potential. Just was hoping for a bit more brain twisting than it delivered.
