Magnolia Pictures has shared a brand new trailer for The Carpenter’s Son, its upcoming horror take on Jesus Christ’s childhood. The movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 14.

“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 for years under threat, clinging to their faith and traditions,” reads the official synopsis. “But a stopover in a small settlement unleashes growing chaos when a mysterious stranger 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 a terrified Joseph realizes that a demonic power is at work. Violent, unnatural events inexplicably follow Jesus, and he begins to experience nightmarish visions of the future. Finally, he learns the fearsome truth about his new playmate, as well as the child’s real name: Satan.”

The video shows teenage Jesus Christ, who begins having dark visions of his future, after the arrival of a mysterious girl.

The movie is led by Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage as the Carpenter, singer-actress FKA Twigs as the Mother, and A Quiet Place star Noah Jupe as the Boy.
