Neon’s final trailer for Hokum is even creepier than the previous teasers. Severance’s Adam Scott stars as a writer who visits a sinister-looking inn where a staff member has gone missing. He’s warned to leave the inn before he stops looking like his passport picture, but of course he doesn’t.
“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,” reads Neon’s synopsis. “Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance forces him to confront dark corners of his past.”
In addition to Adam Scott, the horror film stars Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, Will O’Connell, Brendan Conroy, and Austin Amelio. Written and directed by Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity), Hokum is produced by Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Derek Dauchy, Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, and Mairtin De Barra. Ken Kao, Josh Rosenbaum, Dan Kagan, Andrew Childs, Ben Ross, and Rami Yasin serve as executive producers. Additional executive producers include Bryan Meng, Dr. Terence Chan, Tom Quinn, Ryan Friscia, Jeff Deutchman, and Evan O’Brien.
McCarthy’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Colm Hogan, production designer Til Frohlich, costume designer Lara Campbell, and editor Brian Philip Davis.
Hokum opens in theaters on May 1, 2026.
