Chase Hutchinson TheWrap 10h
It’s not only properly unsettling, making great use of darkness and sound, but also becomes a quietly poetic reflection on loss when you least expect it. Go to Full Review David Crow Den of Geek 8h
3.5/5
Hokum is very much a late night ghost story that a few hundred years ago would’ve been shared on Christmas Eve beside candlelight. Go to Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky 10h
A unique, thrilling, and visceral experience that proves Damian Mc Carthy is one of the most exciting voices in modern horror and Adam Scott can do... well, just about anything. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside 11h
Comparable horror films would go through the motions of a haunted hotel and its affected occupants. Hokum, on the other hand, does it all with sincerity. And that there is why it is heads above the rest. Go to Full Review Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Network 12h
Beautifully executed horror with a great performance by Adam Scott. Go to Full Review Josh Korngut Dread Central 23h
4/5
