Jesus is soon followed by “violent, unnatural events,” per the synopsis, “and he begins to experience nightmarish visions of the future.”<\/p>\n
“Finally, he learns the fearsome truth about his new playmate, as well as the child\u2019s real name: Satan,” it concludes.<\/p>\n
The movie’s description notes that Nathan drew inspiration “from his Coptic Christian background” when he wrote The Carpenter’s Son.<\/p>\n
As a result, the director “delivers a meticulously crafted, genre-bending supernatural thriller packed with unshakeable images of the divine and demonic at war.”<\/p>\n
