News Hokum Hokum Trailer Sees Adam Scott Surrounded By Dead Goats and an Evil Witch A long time ago, there was a witch who scared the crap out of me in this trailer By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 20, 2026 Courtesy of Neon Comment 0 Share New Share Courtesy of Neon The final trailer for Hokum, a horror film starring Adam Scott as a reclusive novelist who goes to an Irish inn that has a surprisingly large number of dead goats around it, lets us know in no uncertain terms that this movie will scare the socks off of you. (It also delivers the perfect backhanded threat: “Go home, while you still look like your passport picture.” Sick burn—NO ONE looks good in a passport photo!) The Neon film comes from writer-director Damian McCarthy, whose previous credits include Caveat and Oddity. In it, Scott’s character is at the inn to scatter his parents’ ashes. While there, he finds out one of the hotel’s staff is missing (and there are a bunch of dead goats scattered around, if the trailer is any indication), and that the inn is/was the home of an ancient evil witch. The film looks like solid horror fare from the trailer, and it’s interesting to see Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation) play an unlikable character the audience ultimately roots for. The movie also apparently has something for everyone—while the final trailer doesn’t reflect this, McCarthy has said that the film has some good laughs, not just evil chortles from the ancient witch taking up space in Ohm’s room at the inn. In addition to Scott, Hokum stars Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Will O’Connell, and Michael Patric. It premieres in theaters on May 1, 2026.
