Deliver yourself from evil with The Carpenter’s Son, now available on Digital for rent ($9.99) or purchase ($16.99) via Magnolia Pictures.
Nicolas Cage stars as Joseph in the genre-bending horror thriller alongside Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) as Jesus and FKA twigs (The Crow) as Mary.
Set Joseph, Mary, and their teenage son Jesus 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 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.
Writer-director Lotfy Nathan draws from his Coptic Christian background to craft unshakeable images of the divine and demonic at war.
Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two) and Isla Johnston (“The Queen’s Gambit”) round out the cast.
Cage produces alongside Julie Viez (Bergman Island), Alex Hughes (How to Blow Up a Pipeline), Riccardo Maddalosso (Armageddon Time), and Eugene Kotlyarenko (Spree).
