In “Hokum,” a new supernatural horror outing from Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy, an American writer, Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott), finds himself on the verge of finishing his popular book series about a conquistador with a bleak ending. McCarthy opens the film in the desert with the conquistador from Ohm’s imagination about to commit murder. The scene is interrupted when in the scribe’s home, shrouded in darkness, eerie sounds distract him from what’s on his digital page. The jump scares start there but will only intensify when Ohm travels to the wooded area in Ireland where his now deceased parents spent their honeymoon.
