Damian McCarthy is back with another great horror film, HOKUM, and today we got a first look at the brand new trailer.
When novelist Ohm Bauman retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, he is consumed by tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance forces him to confront dark corners of his past.
HOKUM stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Will O’Connell, Michael Patric, Siox C, Brendan Conroy, Austin Amelio, Ezra Carlisle.
The film will screen at SXSW on Saturday, March 14th. https://schedule.sxsw.com/2026/films/2249934. It is also the Closing Night Film at the Overlook Film Festival.
McCarthy also directed the brilliant horror movies CAVEAT and ODDITY – both available to stream – and are highly recommended!
The score is from INSIDIOUS, DARK SKIES, ANNABELLE, MALIGNANT and THE CONJURING composer Joseph Bishara.
See HOKUM in theaters on May 1.
