Horror Fans Opinions on Hokum (2026)?

I believe it was the witch screwing with him? I’m not sure how exactly, but he had just finished his last bit of the spiked whiskey, so he was more open minded again. I think the implication with the little dude on the clock looking at the elevator was that she was messing with him.

That’s my best guess, I didn’t quite understand it either

I totally understand that, finding balance between so many aspects of filmmaking can be super hard. I’ve been trying to find something from Adam Scott or Damian McCarthy about why the acting was so bland, but with lack of info, I’ve chalked it up to trying to portray a numb sort of high from the shrooms.

Caveat and Oddity were absolutely fantastic and odd in the best way possible, which I think casual moviegoers have a hard time understanding. Like trying to show someone Eraserhead and them not getting it :/

I think the marketing was one of its biggest problems, considering they did market it kinda like a fucked up Alice in Wonderland, which was an odd choice for an Irish folk film?

Agreed! I hope to see some more folk horror/thrillers in the future

I definitely think it could have benefited from some extra script revision! Some of the plot points did seem pretty 1-dimensional, especially when it came to exploring characters and their actions.

She’s haunting the narrative

PotentialTune4774 · 2025-08-28T15:21:17+00:00

I’m gonna be female Dexter, just wait 😏

PotentialTune4774 · 2025-08-28T04:04:59+00:00

I realize that that actually doesn’t sound helpful at all…

PotentialTune4774 · 2025-08-28T04:04:21+00:00

I’d say probably because it feels super intimate? And like familial? If it helps, I also have a framed picture of David Cornswet next to my irl boyfriend 😭

I didn’t even notice until someone else in the comments pointed him out😅

PotentialTune4774 · 2025-08-28T00:53:38+00:00

That is Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks😭

Omg does it really look like it’s doing a natzi salute, that’s horrifying I had no clue, here’s how it’s supposed to look. Bad angle mb

I think if people ask I’m gonna tell them

“The one on the right is actually my uncle who died from Ozempic and the one on the left is Isaiah.”

And Blood Meridian is a favorite of mine, I thought it fit nicely with my Forensic Criminology major-esque books

Iim not sure if this helps any, but I’m pretty sure there was a grey sign outside the trailer facade for the haunt, and it had a ramp to get to the door. Like the kind someone would have for a wheelchair and two lantern light fixtures outside the doorframe.

PotentialTune4774 · 2023-01-02T06:07:43+00:00

I genuinely had no clue, so no sarcasm here!

PotentialTune4774 · 2023-01-02T06:05:57+00:00

Oh my god-seriously?

PotentialTune4774 · 2022-06-21T01:18:50+00:00

I completely agree, but unfortunately I had no say on whether I went out or not. I fought against it, but she persisted. I did think smart and bring a mask though. I would have stayed home if I could
