Altitude will release biblical horror The Carpenter’s Son in UK and Irish cinemas on 21st November.
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, Mary, and their teenage son Jesus have lived under threat for years, clinging to their faith and traditions. But a stopover in a small settlement unleashes growing chaos when a mysterious girl 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 his father Joseph realises to his horror it is the work of a demonic force powerful enough to rival his faith.
Writer and director Lotfy Nathan (12 O’Clock Boys, Harka), draws from his Coptic Christian background, delivering a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images of the divine and demonic at war.
The Carpenter’s Son stars Nicolas Cage (Longlegs, Mandy), Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place, Honey Boy), Isla Johnston (The Queen’s Gambit), Souheila Yacoub (Dune: Part Two), and FKA twigs (Honey Boy, The Crow).
