NEON Releases Final Trailer for Hokum, Damian McCarthy’s Horror Thriller Starring Adam Scott
The final push toward release is underway as NEON drops the last trailer for Hokum, the new horror feature from Damian McCarthy. The film arrives in theaters May 1, with the latest footage expanding on the tone, mythology, and psychological tension driving the story.
Starring Adam Scott, Hokum centers on Ohan Bham, a novelist who travels to a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes. What begins as a personal retreat quickly shifts as he becomes fixated on stories of a witch said to haunt the property—specifically the honeymoon suite.
The final trailer leans into narration, outlining the descent that follows. Visions intensify, reality begins to fracture, and a disappearance pushes the narrative into darker territory. The setting—a quiet, isolated inn—becomes a controlled environment where psychological and supernatural elements intersect.
The film’s premise is built around isolation and memory, with the protagonist forced to confront unresolved parts of his past as the haunting escalates. The presence of the witch is framed less as a distant legend and more as an active force tied directly to the space and its history.
Hokum has positioned itself as a contained horror story, focusing on atmosphere and character rather than scale. With its theatrical release approaching, the final trailer provides the clearest look yet at the film’s structure and tone.
The film will be in theaters nationwide on May 1.
