NEON is lining up another huge year for horror, and the first out of the gate is Hokum, which stars Adam Scott as a horror writer who visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch.
Today, we have the official trailer for the haunter, premiering this weekend at SXSW.
Peter Coonan (King of the Travellers), Austin Amelio (When No One Sees Us), David Wilmot (Hamnet), Will O’Connell (Game of Thrones), and Florence Ordesh (Foundation) also star.
Damian McCarthy first gained attention with two DIY indie successes, Caveat and Oddity, both praised by Dread Central. And Hokum has got some big names behind it, including Weapons, The Ring, It: Chapter One+2, and Paranormal Activity producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider, not to mention a cast led by Adam Scott (Hellraiser: Bloodlines).
Official synopsis: “Novelist Ohm Bauman (Scott) retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, where he is consumed by tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront dark corners of his past.”
Hokum hits theaters May 1 from NEON.
