Adam Scott steps into darker territory with Hokum, an upcoming horror film centered on a novelist whose creative process begins to unravel in deeply unsettling ways. The film blends psychological tension with subtle supernatural elements, focusing on the fragile line between imagination and reality.
Scott portrays a successful author struggling to finish his latest manuscript. As deadlines loom and isolation intensifies, the act of writing becomes increasingly disorienting. Strange events begin to mirror passages from his unfinished work, leaving him questioning whether the horror on the page is purely fiction—or something bleeding into his real life.
Rather than relying on overt spectacle, Hokum is positioned as a character-driven thriller that builds dread through atmosphere and performance. The story explores themes of artistic control, guilt, and the emotional cost of creative ambition, grounding its horror in personal unraveling rather than constant shock.
With Scott leading the cast in a more dramatic and restrained role, Hokum looks to offer a slow-burning psychological experience for horror fans. Additional details, including release timing and supporting cast announcements, are expected in the months ahead.
