SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Leviticus” and “Obsession,” both currently playing in theaters. Deep into the new horror movie “Leviticus,” there’s an interlude that’s stunning for how simple it is. Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen), two teenage boys, have faced down struggles both prosaic and metaphysical. And now, they’re effectively alone together, seated in the backseat of a largely empty commuter bus. Freed, for the length of the bus ride, from everything outside it, the boys start to kiss, then to fumble, gently — even tenderly.
