Critics Consensus

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

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.

Its premise is unique enough, its subject matter is sufficiently powerful, and its lead performances are both suitably compelling, that it marks another worthy addition to what has been a remarkable year for horror.

The film has a really interesting concept, and some clever twists on supernatural stories that have shocked us all, but sadly, it doesn't quite reach the levels of the movies it can be directly compared to.

Once these paranormal parameters are firmly established, the plot, more or less, plateaus, cycling through sequence after sequence of a boy being chased by his demon, and escaping, or, then not escaping.

It's interesting, it's fun to watch, it's repetitive at times, but for a debut film, I think the film is very, very well put together. [Full review in Spanish]

Fantastically acted allegory about the mechanisms and painful costs of shame. Complex enough to stay interesting. More drama than horror, but gives just enough for horror fans to appreciate. Touching and meaningful. Fantastic score by Jed Kurzel. Bravo.
