Hokum

Director: Damian McCarthy


A reclusive horror writer (Adam Scott) travels to a remote Irish hotel to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to become entangled in unsettling local lore surrounding the ramshackle building. As strange visions intensify and a mysterious disappearance occurs, his grief begins to blur with paranoia. Drawn deeper into the hotel’s secrets, he is forced to confront both a malevolent supernatural presence and the unresolved trauma of his past.
