Hokum
When novelist Ohm Bauman retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents' ashes, he is consumed by tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance forces him to confront dark corners of his past.
Why it matters
A slow-burning psychological folk horror that entwines grief, guilt, and Irish supernatural folklore in a remote woodland setting.
- Evokes the eerie isolation of classics like *1408* and *Grave Encounters* with a contemporary Irish twist.
- Adam Scott anchors the film with a subdued, conflicted performance that carries much of its uneasy atmosphere.
- Damian McCarthy’s direction leans heavily into unsettling mood and environment over jump scares or conventional scares.
- Not for those craving tight pacing or clear-cut scares—its meandering narrative demands patience and attention to subtle dread.
