Teenage Jesus Battles Demonic Forces in Shocking Biblical Horror Film

In November 2025, a controversial new film, "The Carpenter's Son," is generating buzz for its depiction of a dark, uncharted chapter in the life of teenage Jesus. Based on the obscure Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the film stars Nicolas Cage and FKA Twigs as Joseph and Mary, with Noah Jupe playing a petulant, vengeful Jesus who experiences nightmarish visions and is drawn into a forbidden world.

Elsewhere, the Italian indie film "Trifole" follows an aging truffle hunter, played by Umberto Orsini, who faces failing health and vanishing woodlands as he struggles to keep up with the modern truffle market. When an accounting oversight threatens his home, his 28-year-old granddaughter, Dalia, embarks on a quest to find a legendary "lightning-struck" truffle that could save the day.

Additionally, the action thriller "King Ivory" weaves together multiple storylines exploring the U.S. fentanyl crisis, following a Tulsa drug cop whose son becomes addicted to the deadly drug. The film follows the cop's mission to take down the various players fueling the crisis, including a Mexican cartel, an Indian Brotherhood War Chief, and an Irish mob family.
