You should see the new horror movie Leviticus. Set in a small Australian religious community, it’s about two queer teens that start having feelings for each other. Their relationship touches off a chain of increasingly violent events. It’s both a queer coming-of-age romance and a blistering indictment of gay conversion therapy. Mostly, though, it’s a seriously creepy movie about a demonic entity that knows exactly how to get to you. 

If you like spine-tingling queer dramas, check out these episodes: 
'I Saw the TV Glow' is weird and transfixing
'Love Lies Bleeding' is the queer erotic thriller Kristen Stewart fans have wanted
