Adam Scott’s Criminally Overlooked 2026 Thriller Is Finally on Streaming

*Hokum*, Adam Scott’s Irish ghost story and thriller, has begun streaming on Hulu after a May release that earned rave reviews and solid box-office returns. The article argues that the film was overlooked amid a crowded year for horror, and recommends it as a Halloween watch.

Written and directed by Damian McCarthy, the film follows American novelist Ohm Bauman, played by Scott, who visits a rural Irish hotel where his late parents honeymooned, intending to scatter their ashes nearby. He becomes caught up in events that could involve a murder, a haunting or hallucinations. The story unfolds slowly, relying on atmosphere and Scott’s largely solitary performance; it shifts into a more evocative thriller after its opening stretch.
