NEON has unveiled a new trailer for Hokum, the upcoming supernatural horror from Damian McCarthy, and folks, it looks like we're in for another truly terrifying horror movie from the director of similarly nightmare-inducing titles Caveat and Oddity. Brace yourself:
Hitting theaters on May 1, the R-rated Hokum stars Adam Scott (Severance) as novelist Ohm Bauman, a novelist who retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, but the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Soon, disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw him into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (Bad Sisters) and David Wilmot (Bodkin) also star, with Florence Ordesh, Will O’Connell, and Michael Patric. Siox C, Brendan Conroy, Austin Amelio, and Ezra Carlisle rounding out the cast.
Cweature Features serve as co-producers on Hokum joining Image Nation (Late Night with the Devil) and Spooky Pictures (Barbarian), as well as Team Thrives, who co-financed the project. Also behind the scenes producing are Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde and Mairtín de Barra (The Apprentice). Ben Ross (Late Night With the Devil), Dan Kagan (Longlegs), Rami Yasin (Late Night With the Devil) and Andrew Childs (Boy Kills World) will serve as executive producers.
Those attending Panic Fest in Kansas City next month can catch Hokum as part of a stacked lineup that also includes Curry Barker’s Obsession, The Furious, Spider One’s Big Baby and more.
