Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen star as Darcy and Darcy Davenport in writer/director Bryn Chainey‘s horror flick. After moving to the wilderness, the married couple accidentally discover and disturb something deep in the forest. Although the film gets off to a promising start, the faerie mythology at its heart is often underwhelming and the film runs out of gas lacking both the necessary tension for psychological horror and the thrills for a basic monster movie.

For every highlight of Nicolas Cage‘s career there are three or four baffling choices which we can now add The Carpenter’s Son to the list. Inspired by the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the film offers a look at the adolescence of Jesus Christ (Noah Jupe) coming into his powers and knowledge of his destiny. Cage, as you might expect, plays the carpenter Joseph who struggles to keep the boy safe and hidden while also attempting to forcibly instill his own sense of piety.

In horror there’s a thin line between scary and silly and for far too much of the first hour of director Osgood PerkinsKeeper doesn’t click. A year into their relationship, Liz (Tatiana Maslany) goes away for the weekend with her boyfriend Malcolm (Murder in a Small Town‘s Rossif Sutherland) to his far-from-rustic cabin. Despite her concerns, she’s far from roughing it.

Out of her element, Liz begins to grow paranoid and starts to see or hallucinate odd things in her boyfriend’s home. The question becomes whether the not-exactly-reliable protagonist is imagining things, if something is clouding her judgement, or if there are dark and supernatural events occurring.
