A horror novelist visits a remote Irish inn to spread his parents’ ashes, unaware the place is rumored to be haunted by a witch. That’s the plot synopsis for the upcoming Hokum, the new horror movie from NEON and Oddity filmmaker Damian McCarthy.

Adam Scott (Krampus, “Severance”) stars in Hokum, and NEON has shared a first look image from the movie this afternoon. Check it out above and expect more information soon.

Peter Coonan (Bad Sisters) and David Wilmot (Bodkin) star alongside Scott. 

Spooky Pictures founders Roy Lee (Barbarian) and Steven Schneider (Strange Darling) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), and Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde and Mairtín de Barra (“The Apprentice”). Ben Ross (“Late Night With the Devil”), Dan Kagan (Longlegs), Rami Yasin (Late Night with the Devil) and Andrew Childs (Boy Kills World) will serve as executive producers.

Schneider said in a statement, “With Damian McCarthy’s fresh and unique approach behind the camera and the amazing Adam Scott bringing his talent to the lead role, ‘Hokum’ is shaping up to be something truly special. It’s always a pleasure working with the team at Image Nation Abu Dhabi — they share our passion for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. We can’t wait for audiences everywhere to experience what we’ve created together.”
