Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Hokum – a title that is also not explained – is a horror film that earns its bona fides through mood more than action. Even though not much of consequence happens throughout the film, it still keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what will happen next.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Mc Carthy and his cinematographer Colm Hogan use the hotel’s spaces for maximum effect…[and] gives his film such a satisfying wrap, he leaves you wondering if Bauman was right in the first place.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A simple ghost story can still scare the life out of you when crafted this well.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Damian McCarthy returns to Irish folk horror for Hokum, recruiting Adam Scott for his first proper venture into the genre to tell a somewhat predictable little witches-and-ghosts tale that’s rich with atmosphere and short on novelty — ironic for a horror movie about an author.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It shook me, disturbed me, and left me with the feeling of having seen something forbidden and dark. If you’re looking for a good horror film, it’s worth giving it a try.
