Hokum, the next nightmare from Oddity writer-director Damian McCarthy, has set a release date.
The supernatural horror film will open in theaters on May 1, 2026 via Neon.
The news is accompanied by a new look at Adam Scott (“Severance,” Krampus) in the movie, pictured above.
Scott stars as a horror novelist who visits a remote Irish inn to spread his parents’ ashes, unaware the place is rumored to be haunted by a witch.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”) and David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”) also appear in the film.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) and Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil) and Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, and Mairtín de Barra.
Ben Ross (Late Night With the Devil), Dan Kagan (Longlegs), Rami Yasin (Late Night with the Devil), and Andrew Childs (The Long Walk) serve as executive producers.
“With Damian McCarthy’s fresh and unique approach behind the camera and the amazing Adam Scott bringing his talent to the lead role, Hokum is shaping up to be something truly special,” Schneider previously said in a statement. “We can’t wait for audiences everywhere to experience what we’ve created together.”
