Messed Up Movies

Did we just see the best, most beautiful horror movie of 2026? Aussie horror scores again with the truly disturbing coming of age, gay conversion therapy allegory Leviticus. It's New Movie Monday smack in the middle of Pride month!
Griffey and Heath do their best to convince Sam why Leviticus is a near flawless film. There's a lot to debate here from the true meaning behind the movie to the conservative, religious setting to the It Follows comparisons. We have high hopes for this small indie movie because it is one of the best examples of horror as the highest of cinematic art forms in the 21st century.
Logline: Two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most - each other.

Director: Adrian Chiarella
Starring: Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, Mia Wasakowski

You're going to want to hear this. We're revealing all the secrets of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day here on New Movie Monday! 
Griffey, Heath and Sam had a lot to say about this one and in full disclosure... it's not very good. What kept us from falling for this latest alien effort by the king of sci-fi himself? How about a significant lack of aliens for starters. Join the pile on as we point out all the plot holes, corny dialogue and plain bad storytelling in Disclosure Day.
Logline: If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?

Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell
