There have been some horror bangers this year, like Ready or Not 2, Send Help, and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. However, the terror is just ramping up! And adding to the pack is Damian McCarthy’s (Oddity) latest film, Hokum, hitting theaters this weekend.

Hokum stars Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation) as a writer who ventures off to remote Ireland, to spread the ashes of his parents at their favorite honeymoon spot: a remote hotel populated by a host of eccentric characters – and ghosts. Evoking shades of The Shining and Mike Flanagan’s Haunting miniseries, while simultaneously rooting itself in the folklore of the Irish isles, McCarthy is able to create a stylish and effectively scary film with a terrific performance from Scott.

We were fortunate enough to get a chance to chat with Scott and McCarthy about the movie, and the influence of Irish folklore on the film, as well as what it takes to survive a creepy AF hotel with ghosts and witches in complete isolation. See what they had to say right here:
