This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, your hosts Kimmi and Jon are talking brand new supernatural irish folklore horror Hokum with writer/director Damian McCarthy!
Hokum follows a disgruntled author (Adam Scott) as he travels to an Inn in rural Ireland where his deceased parents spent their honeymoon, to spread their ashes. Then spookies ensue… Like the appearance of a strange bunny with bulging eyes, a honeymoon suite with a locked gate for an entrance, and an old folktale about an evil witch who snatches children to the underworld.
Note: This is a spoiler-free discussion, we stick to chattin inspiration, irish folklore, and crafting a good scare, not spoiling the film, so you’re free to listen to this before catching Hokum!
Hokum hits theatres May 1st.
