Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
Leviticus earns a 9/10 woke score because its entire horror premise hinges on a same-sex teen romance battling religious bigotry, with the monster serving as a direct stand-in for anti-LGBTQ oppression. Skip it if you want storytelling over identity politics.

Detailed Analysis
The film's core premise centers on two teenage boys, Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen), whose mutual desire summons a violent supernatural entity that takes each other's form, directly tying the horror to their queer romance amid persecution from a religious community and families.
Director Adrian Chiarella has repeatedly stated in interviews that he set out to make a horror movie where 'the fear was homophobia,' exploring internalized and externalized homophobia as the central metaphor, with the entity summoned by religious forces as a blunt instrument critiquing traditional norms and faith-based oppression. This framing makes progressive identity politics foundational rather than incidental, with the romance and monster concept collapsing without the explicit focus on same-sex attraction and anti-LGBTQ bigotry as the driving conflict.
Key Factors
- Core premise revolves around queer teen romance and identity exploration as the source of supernatural horror
- Director explicitly framed the film as an exploration of homophobia drawn from personal experience and gay rights themes
- Entity and plot mechanics serve as direct metaphors for religious and familial rejection of same-sex desire
- Reception highlights it as 'queer horror' with central messaging on homophobia from church and society
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
