Hokum Review
‘Hokum’ Ain’t Jokin’ As Adam Scott Stars In Terrifying Thriller. Adam Scott finds himself trapped in an eerie Irish hotel in ‘Hokum,’ the thoroughly frightening third film from writer-director Damian McCarthy. Between the two horror films out this month that both happen to be directed by Irish filmmakers, we know which one we prefer. ‘Hokum,’ the third feature from Damian McCarthy after ‘Oddity’ (2024) and ‘Caveat’ (2020), is the best horror movie we’ve seen so far this year, a slow-burn combination of folklore, mystery, and ghost story that oozes atmosphere and gives you goosebumps at every possible opportunity.
