A previously overlooked 2026 horror release, "Leviticus," is gaining a wider audience now that it has arrived on Apple TV, following a similar streaming boost enjoyed earlier this year by the haunted-house film "Havoc." Despite strong reviews, the film was overshadowed at the box office by blockbuster horror hits "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which together grossed roughly $800 million globally this year, leaving smaller acclaimed titles struggling for attention during a crowded cinema season.

The Australian production, directed by Adrian Chiarella and starring Joe Bird and Stacy Klausen, follows two teenage boys whose romantic coming-of-age turns dangerous when falling in love transforms the object of their affection into a murderous monster, framed as an allegory for queer love amid hostile parents and religious figures. It premiered at Sundance before Neon released it theatrically in June, earning around $8.5 million worldwide against a $3.5 million budget — a modest sum next to "Obsession's" $450 million-plus haul, but now finding new life through streaming.
