New Look at Adam Scott in Neon’s Irish Horror ‘Hokum’

Damian McCarthy made a name for himself with two DIY indie hits, Caveat and Oddity, both celebrated here on Dread Central.

Now, he’s hitting the main stage with Hokum, Neon’s latest genre offering, which will premiere at this month’s SXSW film festival before arriving in theaters later this year.

It’s got some big names behind it, including Weapons, The Ring, It: Chapter One+2, and Paranormal Activity producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider, not to mention a cast led by Adam Scott (Hellraiser: Bloodlines).

A new image has been released from the film that follows Scott as novelist Ohm Bauman, who retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, where he is consumed by tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront dark corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (King of the Travellers), Austin Amelio (When No One Sees Us), David Wilmot (Hamnet), Will O’Connell (Game of Thrones), and Florence Ordesh (Foundation) also star.
