Critics Consensus

Merging an emotionally-involving queer relationship with its clever monster concept, Leviticus executes its intriguing hook with eerie aplomb.

The film doesn’t trust its audience to understand [its] themes without having them spelled out...There is still much to appreciate in Leviticus, though.

If you’re not already a dedicated horror buff, it may take some effort to buy into this idea, but the three young actors have no such trouble.

Breathtakingly well-crafted, Leviticus clearly has queer teen audiences in mind -- all three of these films do -- but not exclusively. Yes, Leviticus fills a representation gap. It's also freakin' scary.

That’s the real-life horror Leviticus throws in your face. Not the supernatural monster but deep-rooted bigotry.

While it does ultimately end up becoming a good slow burn horror it is one of those films that you feel could have been so much better. Shows great potential for the director but gee this could have been something special.

While it has its shortcomings, ‘Leviticus’ has enough strengths in terms of mood, character, themes, and eeriness to make it another worthwhile addition to this year’s exciting new crop of genre entries from up-and-coming directors.

Has an intriguing premise but doesn’t slow burn enough or build up the psychological aspects. (The “demon” goes to attacking in a few seconds, why not mess with heads more?) But interesting premise with some potential. Just was hoping for a bit more brain twisting than it delivered.

Another horror film where white kids get into all sort of trouble because of absentee parents and other adults. Disappointing.
