Hey Horror Fans!!! This week on Mostly Horror , Steve and Sean sit down with filmmaker Lotfy Nathan to talk about The Carpenter’s Son — a dark and daring reimagining of Christ’s childhood that pulls from the apocryphal Infancy Gospel of Thomas . Lotfy dives into religious myth, backlash from the faithful, and what it was like directing Nicolas Cage , FKA Twigs , and Noah Jupe in one of the most argued about horror films of the year. Before the interview, the guys dig into some horror news (including that new V for Vendetta series) and as usual wrap things up with their Mostly Horror Recs of the week. If you’re into religious horror, controversy, and Cage going full Cage , this episode’s for you sooo... COME HANG OUT!!!
