Adam Scott Battles a Fog of Mystery in Hokum's Haunted Irish Inn

TL;DR Summary
Adam Scott stars as a troubled American novelist who travels to a haunted Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to confront a cursed honeymoon suite, a murky mystery and a director’s diffuse script. While Hokum delivers a claustrophobic mood and striking production design, Damian McCarthy’s script leans into atmosphere over explanation, mixing supernatural hints with a non-supernatural crime plot and leaving some threads unresolved as the film heads toward streaming.
