The Carpenter's Son

Using the Infancy Gospel of Thomas as its springboard—a text that’s apocryphal and decidedly eerie—the film takes a horror‑driven plunge into Jesus’s childhood. Here’s the core premise:

A family hides in Roman Egypt; the Boy doubts his guardian thanks to a strange peer. That rebellion sparks his latent powers. As he gives in to these abilities, he and his family find themselves in the crosshairs of terror—from both earthly and divine forces. This is not a reverent, traditional retelling of Christ’s childhood. It's bold, controversial, and unapologetically horror-tinged. If you want clean biblical storytelling—steer clear. But if a dark, boundary-pushing reimagining powers your curiosity, this could be the most unsettling and interesting film release you didn’t know you needed.
