Uncover the chilling tale of a reclusive novelist, Ohm Bauman, who finds himself ensnared in a web of supernatural horror. In the first teaser trailer for 'Hokum', directed by the visionary Oddity writer-director Damian McCarthy, we are transported to a remote Irish inn, where the air is thick with mystery and the whispers of an ancient witch.
Adam Scott, known for his role in 'Severance', takes on the role of Ohm Bauman, a man seeking solace and closure after the passing of his parents. As he retreats to the inn, he encounters tales of a haunting presence in the honeymoon suite, an entity that has left its mark on the staff and guests alike. But this is no ordinary witch; she is a harbinger of nightmares, bringing with her disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance that unravels Ohm's sanity.
The trailer hints at a dark past that Ohm Bauman is desperate to leave behind. As the staff's stories unfold, Ohm is drawn deeper into a nightmarish confrontation, one that forces him to confront the darkest corners of his own history. With a stellar cast including Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Will O'Connell, and Michael Patric, 'Hokum' promises to be a chilling exploration of the supernatural and the human psyche.
Produced by the minds behind 'Weapons' and 'Insidious', 'Hokum' is set to premiere in theaters on May 1, 2026, via Neon. But here's where it gets intriguing - the film's executive producers include Ben Ross, known for 'Late Night With the Devil', and Dan Kagan, who has worked on 'Longlegs'. Will Ohm Bauman's journey into the supernatural be a chilling success or a haunting failure? Only time will tell. So, are you ready to step into the woods and uncover the secrets of Hokum?
