Damian McCarthy’s Hokum has been 10 years in the making

Like McCarthy’s previous films, Hokum takes place in Ireland and features an all-Irish cast (with the sole exception of Scott’s character, Ohm Bauman). Also like his previous films, it relies heavily on a single physical location that shapes the story in multiple ways. (Oddity takes place in an old country house; Hokum upgrades to a grand, creaky hotel.) And like his previous films, Hokum is quite scary.
