Horror cinema will have more releases of original projects in June.
After the premieres of Obsession y Backroomsit will be the turn of Leviticusthe new horror proposal from NEONwhich already debuted its official poster.
The film, which made its world premiere at Sundance 2026, became one of the most talked about of the edition for addressing a terrifying premise: conversion therapy.
After premiering at Sundance, NEON acquired it for distribution in the United States and Canada.
In Leviticus, “Two teenagers must escape from a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most: each other.”
Leviticus presents a disturbing and violent story centered on two teenagers trapped in a deeply conservative religious community, where their relationship becomes the target of brutal “treatment.”
Directed and written by Adrian Chiarellathe plot follows the couple as they are subjected to a ritual meant to “cure” them, which actually unleashes a terrifying supernatural force. This entity, which takes the form of the person its victims most desire, transforms their love into something deadly.
The main cast includes Joe Bird (Talk to Me), Stacy Clausen (Crazy Fun Park), Shannon Berry (The Wilds), Nicholas Hope (The Invisible Man), y Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak).
As if the premise wasn't terrifying in itself, the film combines a disturbing atmosphere with elements of psychological horror and queer coming-of-age drama, highlighting themes such as repression, identity, and religious trauma.
We are sure that the film will give a lot to talk about, and will be the start of important conversations.
Take a look at the poster at the end of the note.
The Australian production was produced by Samantha Jennings (Talk to Me, Bring Her Back, Cargo), Hannah Ngo (Crazy Fun Park) y Christina Ceyton (The Babadook, The Nightingale, Talk to Me, Bring Her Back), with executive producers including Salman Al-Rashid, Simmons Frazier, Sam Frohman, and Daniel Negret.
