Dinner (6:15) + Hokum (7:00) at Willeton (Cheap Tuesday)
Details
Please join me for the latest film from writer/director Damian McCarthy, and starring Adam Scott. McCarthy's last two films Oddity and Caveat showed he has a knack for unsettling imagery and creepy scenes. Hokum premiered at SXSW 2026 to rave reviews, heralding it as a terrifying contender for "the Best Horror Movie of 2026."
We'll meet at Pepper Lunch for dinner and a chat at 6:15pm before the film at 7pm. Tickets available here. My seat is E6. They're all recliners.
Haunted by his mother's violent childhood death and the looming end of his bestselling trilogy, cantankerous author Ohm Bauman (Adam Scott) seeks closure by scattering his parents' ashes at the remote Irish inn where they honeymooned. Arriving on Halloween weekend, he finds Bilberry Woods Inn populated by eccentric guests and staff who share one strict rule: the Honeymoon Suite stays locked (or so goes the legend) to keep an ancient witch imprisoned inside.
"An atmospheric & soulful haunt. McCarthy delivers an eerie tale of a haunted hotel, but is more focused on peeling back the layers of his lead. Between his chilling frames & Scott's spot-on work, Hokum succeeds as both a great scare and character piece." -- Perri Nemiroff on Youtube.
"I enjoy how McCarthy mixes human evils with the supernatural. With a great atmosphere and well-placed scares, Hokum is worth checking out." -- Jazzmin Crawley, Horror Movie Blog.
