Directed by Damian McCarthy, 2026, Ireland, Rated R, 107 minutes
Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, a successful horror novelist who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to discover the hotel is rumored to house a malevolent witch hidden behind the locked door of its abandoned honeymoon suite. As unsettling visions and disappearances begin to blur the line between grief and the supernatural, Ohm is forced to confront buried memories and fears. From the director of Oddity and Caveat, Hokum premiered at SXSW and quickly became one of the year’s most talked-about horror releases. Critics praised its atmosphere and craftsmanship, with The Financial Times calling it “a sly, self-mocking film” and noting that McCarthy “proves himself a dab hand at suspense,” delivering a chilling modern folk horror experience.
