An impertinent novelist with a dark secret travels to rural Ireland to fulfill a sacred duty, but encounters a terrifying supernatural mystery at a haunted hotel in Hokum. Writer/director Damian McCarthy delivers the horror goods to near perfection in a superbly crafted narrative loaded with bombshell twists. Your skin will crawl as the creepy cinematography builds suspense to legitimate scares that aren’t predictable. Hokum is a much-needed breath of rotting air in a stale genre that rarely has anything this creative and well-executed.
