A new glimpse into the upcoming horror film Hokum has been revealed, offering the first look at Adam Scott in the project from the director behind the eerie 2024 thriller Oddity. The newly released image shows Scott portraying a mysterious novelist named Ohm Bauman, hinting at the film’s unsettling tone and psychological themes.
The film marks the next horror project from filmmaker Damian McCarthy, whose breakout film Oddity gained attention among genre fans for its slow-burn dread and eerie storytelling. With Hokum, McCarthy is once again leaning into atmospheric horror, building a narrative centered around strange events surrounding the reclusive writer portrayed by Scott.
The image released today showcases Scott in character, surrounded by a stark and mysterious setting that hints at the film’s dark psychological undercurrent. While plot details remain largely under wraps, early information suggests the story will explore isolation, obsession, and the blurred line between fiction and reality.
Scott, known for his roles in “Severance”, Parks and Recreation, and several thriller projects, has increasingly stepped into darker genre territory in recent years. His involvement in Hokum has already generated curiosity among horror fans who appreciated McCarthy’s distinctive style in Oddity.
As the film continues its development and promotion, additional details, including a teaser trailer and release plans, are expected to be announced in the coming months.
