Following its success at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Leviticus, the debut feature from Australian director Adrian Chiarella, has been dubbed the Heated Rivalry of horror. And Chiarella and his stars have graciously accepted the nickname — thanks, we assume, to Aussies’ characteristically good sense of humor.

The horror-romance, starring Talk to Me’s Joe Bird and up-and-comer Stacy Clausen, centers on young love that blooms in a hostile, small-town atmosphere, leading to horrific consequences.
