David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 13h
While it’s a little low on scares, Hokum is pacey and involving enough to keep genre fiends watching once it hits streaming, just for production designer Til Frohlich’s creepy hotel set alone, a place that looks untouched by the passing years. Go to Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 18h
4.5/5
Damian McCarthy continues his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor. It's really freaking scary. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson TheWrap 1d
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 Dan Bayer Next Best Picture 13h
7/10
Adam Scott is a great lead in Damian McCarthy's spine-tingling ghost story. Full of shivery atmosphere and effective jump scares that will actually make you jump. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire 15h
8/10
While the film relies on jump scares, it features a direct confrontation with darkness in the human spirit that feels very unique. Go to Full Review Ryan Scott Slashfilm 20h
8/10
