Los Angeles Buzz: Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs Deliver a Chaotic Biblical Horror in ‘The Carpenter’s Son’
Abhira 
Los Angeles recently showcased a daring fusion of biblical lore and horror with Lotfy Nathan’s supernatural thriller, The Carpenter’s Son. The film follows a young Jesus, played by Noah Jupe, who encounters a terrifying temptation from Satan. This story is inspired by an apocryphal gospel, offering an unconventional take on spiritual themes.
Starring Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs, the movie brings notable star power to this unusual horror narrative. However, despite an intriguing concept, the film suffers from uneven storytelling and chaotic execution, which occasionally veers into unintentional humor. This has the effect of making it so bad it’s almost good.
For fans of horror who appreciate offbeat and bizarre films, there may be a certain twisted charm to be found here. Conversely, purists sensitive to changes in biblical narratives might be disappointed by the liberties taken in the story.
The movie aims to explore spiritual conflict within a gothic atmosphere, but ultimately feels like a mixed bag, struggling to maintain both suspense and narrative coherence.
