What happens in the Leviticus trailer?
The video introduces two young star-crossed lovers who are forced to undergo a religious conversion ritual by their conservative community. However, the ritual turns into an even more terrifying nightmare when it unexpectedly summons a violent entity, which lures its victims by taking on the form of what the person desires the most. The teenage boys must find a way to escape the supernatural entity and their town before it’s too late. The trailer also provides a glimpse of some of the movie’s suspense-filled sequences.
Leviticus is written and directed by Chiarella in his feature-length directorial debut. The movie stars Mia Wasikowska, Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Ewen Leslie, Nicholas Hope, Jeremy Blewitt, Davida McKenzie, and Edwina Wren. Following its world premiere, it has already garnered an approval rating of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 26 reviews. Neon acquired the distribution rights to the film in a seven-figure deal.
“The film follows two teenage boys living in a conservative Christian community in regional Victoria. When their attraction to each other is identified by the local pastor, the pair are subjected to a disturbing conversion ritual, which unknowingly releases a violent entity that terrorizes the town,” reads the synopsis. “As Naim and Ryan attempt to survive the bigotry of their fellow town members, they must also defend themselves against the unleashed spiritual being that takes the form of the thing the boys desire most — each other.”
