The first official trailer for The Carpenter’s Son has arrived, offering a glimpse into the horror film that explores the teenage years of Jesus.
The film, written and directed by Lotfy Nathan, has assembled a fantastic cast. Nicolas Cage takes on the role of the father, known simply as “the Carpenter,” while singer and actress FKA Twigs plays “the Mother.” Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place franchise) stars as “the Boy,” young Jesus himself.
The film depicts a remote village in Roman-era Egypt as it erupts into spiritual warfare when a carpenter, his wife, and their child arrive. Soon, they become targeted by supernatural forces in The Carpenter’s Son. Joseph (Cage), Mary (FKA twigs), and their teenage son Jesus (Jupe) have lived for years under threat, clinging to their faith and traditions. But a stopover in a settlement unleashes chaos when a mysterious stranger (Isla Johnston) tries to entice young Jesus to abandon his father’s rules. With every pull of temptation, the boy is lured into a forbidden world. And 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.
Prepare to witness a religious horror story like you’ve never seen before. Magnolia Pictures will release The Carpenter’s Son in theaters nationwide on November 14th, 2025
