The screenplay draws inspiration from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a 2nd-century text that recounts the childhood of Jesus. This historical influence shapes the story’s eerie and supernatural elements.
Filming started in September 2024 in Megara. During production, Cage had a frightening encounter with a swarm of bees in one of the caves used as a location, according to reports. In May 2025, Magnolia Pictures secured U.S. distribution rights to the film.
The teaser offers a first look at the haunting visuals and intense performances, promising a horror story that mixes family drama, ancient legend, and supernatural terror.
Nicolas Cage is always a compelling presence, and combining him with FKA Twigs and Noah Jupe in a historical horror setting sounds intriguing. The teaser already shows a creepy and tense atmosphere, and it will be interesting to see how Nathan brings this ancient story to life. What do you think about The Carpenter’s Son?
