Leviticus (2026) Movie Review

Fresh out of the theater, we break down Leviticus, a supernatural horror film set in a small religious town where a ritual unleashes a disturbing entity. We dive into the film’s strong performances, its themes of fear and identity, and why its promising premise doesn’t quite stick the landing. With comparisons to It Follows and Smile, plus our final ratings, we give you the honest, unfiltered take, spoilers included.
