One of the more interesting horror movies on the horizon for the remainder of 2025 is The Carpenter’s Son from Magnolia Pictures and writer/director Lotfy Nathan, which is being described as “a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images of the divine and demonic at war.”
Nicolas Cage stars alongside FKA twigs and Noah Jupe, and Magnolia has provided Bloody Disgusting with a few exclusive images ahead of the film’s release in theaters November 14.
Check out the images below and find the official trailer underneath.
Inspired by the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the film tells the dark story of a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. Here’s the brand new official plot synopsis:
“A remote village in Roman-era Egypt explodes into spiritual warfare when a carpenter, his wife and their child are targeted by supernatural forces.
“Joseph (Nicolas Cage), Mary (FKA twigs) and their teenage son Jesus (Noah 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 (Isla 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.”
