Hokum director Damian McCarthy reveals how he’s remake his first movie today

Damian McCarthy has regrets. The Irish writer-director behind indie film distributor Neon’s latest hit horror movie, Hokum, still looks back at his first feature film, Caveat, with a twinge of dissatisfaction. It’s not that he’s unhappy with the movie, which he shot on a budget of just $250,000 and debuted at the IndieCork Film Festival in 2020. It’s just that, in hindsight, he knows Caveat could have been even better.
