Biblical horror The Carpenter's Son gets a suitably ominous new trailer and poster today from Magnolia Entertainment ahead of its theatrical release on November 14.
Starring Nicolas Cage, FKA twigs (The Crow), Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) and Isla Johnston (Invasion), The Carpenter's Son is billed as “a horror spin on Jesus’ childhood”. Inspired by writer/director Lofty Nathan's Coptic Christian upbringing and based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a full logline reads:
A remote village in Roman-era Egypt explodes into spiritual warfare when a carpenter, his wife and their child are targeted by supernatural forces in The Carpenter’s Son. Joseph (Cage), Mary (twigs) and their teenage son Jesus (Jupe) have lived for years under threat, clinging to their faith and traditions. But a stopover in a small settlement unleashes growing chaos when a mysterious stranger (Johnston) tries to entice young Jesus to abandon his devout father’s rules.
With every pull of temptation, the boy is lured into a forbidden world, as a terrified Joseph realizes that a demonic power is at work. Violent, unnatural events inexplicably follow Jesus, and he begins to experience nightmarish visions of the future. Finally, he learns the fearsome truth about his new playmate, as well as the child’s real name: Satan.
