Leviticus is an Australian queer horror film about two teenage boys stalked by a shape-shifting entity that takes the form of whoever they desire most, which happens to be each other. The title is drawn directly from the Old Testament verse most commonly cited against homosexuality, and the film leans into that tension hard. Religious conservatism is the structural villain: parents and church figures attempt conversion rituals while the supernatural threat operates as a literalization of suppressed desire. The horror genre becomes a vehicle for validating gay identity and framing doctrinal opposition as the true source of dread. That combination places it firmly in Progressive territory.
