The movies that obviously inspired Fresh range from the likes of American Psycho , Silence of the Lambs , and the dark disturbing prom night horror in The Loved Ones .
Sequences of dance are also a repeated motif here, as is an ‘80s-heavy power ballad soundtrack, lending the film a dissonant texture that, while different in the particulars, reminds of something like the unhinged lunacy of Sean Byrne’s The Loved Ones.
Leviticus pertenece a una tradición particularmente fértil del cine australiano de terror, heredera de películas como The Babadook, The Loved Ones, Cargo y Talk to Me.
There’s also a sibling-like feel, from tone to superfluous beats, with Jonas Akerlund’s much-maligned Horsemen (2009) and Sean Byrne’s The Devil’s Candy (2015). That said, and more than anything else, the film feels most like a Perkins joint, one where meticulous, attractive cinematography is met with an equally meticulous slow-burn of a pace.
Think of the creep-factor of Lake Mungo (2008) mixed with the violence of The Loved Ones (2009) and the emotion of The Babadook (2014) and Relic (2020).
