Miley Tunnecliffe’s Proclivitas (2026) is a psychological thriller. A woman returns to her hometown, her first love, and the accident neither of them ever survived. Rose Riley delivers one of the year’s most interior performances.
Adrian Chiarella’s Leviticus (2026) is a ruthless queer horror film where true desire becomes a deadly entity.
