Leviticus: Sundance Horror Thriller

0:00On April 22, Neon just dropped the official trailer for Leviticus, a chilling horror thriller from Australian director Adrian Chiarella. This marks his featured debut and the flick hits theaters on June 19, 2026. At its core, two teenage boys in a strict religious town get hit with a forced conversion ritual that accidentally unleashes a brutal supernatural force. The movie world premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last January, and Neon snapped up distribution rights in a seven-figure deal. That move signals big confidence in its potential to shake up the genre. Fans and critics are already hyped, giving it a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 26 reviews. It mixes teen romance gone wrong with small town bigotry, starring Mia, Wasikowska, Joe Bird, and a solid Aussie cast. The trailer ramps up the tension with those boys dodging the entity, which shapeshifts into their deepest desires, each other to lure the men.
