Nicolas Cage, FKA twigs & Noah Jupe deliver us from evil in ‘Jesus horror’
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 (Nicolas Cage), his wife (FKA twigs), and their child (Noah Jupe) are targeted by supernatural forces in what’s been billed, ‘the Jesus horror’, The Carpenter’s Son.


Joseph (Nicolas Cage), Mary (FKA twigs), and their teenage son Jesus (Noah Jupe) 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 (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 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).
THE CARPENTER’S SON is in UK & Irish cinemas from 21 November and on Digital from 22 December. Own it on DVD and Blu-ray from 23 February 2026.
