NEON’s ‘Leviticus’ Gets New Poster for Haunting, Heartbreaking Horror Film
NEON’s upcoming queer supernatural horror film Leviticus is headed to theaters on June 19, and a brand-new official poster has just been released.
Alongside the poster comes a chilling warning from the film:
“If you see anything that looks like me… don’t go near it.”
Written and directed by Adrian Chiarella, Leviticus is rated R for bloody violent content, language, some sexual content, and teen drug use.
The film follows two star-crossed teenage boys, played by Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen, who find themselves hunted by a violent supernatural entity with a disturbing ability — it takes the form of the person each victim desires most.
In this case, that means something wearing the face of each other.
The cast also includes Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night), rounding out a story that blends intimacy with psychological and supernatural horror.
Leviticus first made waves at Sundance, where critics praised its emotional intensity and atmosphere.
As Meagan Navarro noted in her review, the film is a tense, claustrophobic experience rooted in survival and emotional connection.
“We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world,” she wrote.
She also described the film as “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
With a current 97% Rotten Tomatoes score from 32 reviews, Leviticus is already shaping up to be one of NEON’s most talked-about genre releases of the year.
At its core, Leviticus isn’t just a supernatural horror film — it’s a story about desire becoming weaponized, and what happens when love itself becomes the thing you can’t trust.
Some monsters, it seems, don’t hide in the dark — they look like the people you can’t live without.
