Hokum

What it’s about

Ohm Bauman, an American horror novelist, arrives at an old hotel in the Irish countryside to scatter his late parents' ashes. They had spent their honeymoon there, and he wants to see the bridal suite for sentimental reasons. But the suite is firmly locked, and locals claim a witch is trapped inside.

What hooks you

Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman. The film was shot in Ireland, and its title translates as "deception" or "nonsense," hinting at the story's unreliability. Joseph Bishara composed the music.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like gothic horror with a strong sense of place and a slow-burning sense of dread, and for viewers who enjoy stories where a character's grip on reality begins to slip.
