Magnolia Pictures has released an official trailer for The Carpenter’s Son, a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images of the divine and demonic at war. Let’s take a look.

The Carpenter’s Son was written and directed by Lofty Nathan, who drew from his Coptic Christian background. Nicolas Cage leads a cast that includes Noah Jupe, Isla Johnston, and FKA twigs.

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 in The Carpenter’s Son. 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.
