THE CARPENTER’S SON
The film
Family hiding in Roman Egypt. Son known as ‘the Boy’ doubts guardian ‘the Carpenter’, rebelling with mysterious powers. As he uses abilities, they face natural and divine horrors.
This is bananas. It falls short of being a great horror movie, but it’s fucked up, and has a sense of dread that not a lot of horror has. Nic Cage is as good as ever. Rented on Prime.
