Hokum

"Damian McCarthy's film sustains an eerie folklore mood and strong performances, but the narrative grows increasingly uneven. The film builds the fear but forgets the story."

"This dark film – in story, and particularly in treatment – gets almost everything wrong when it comes to pacing, neither giving its actors any room, nor letting its characters grow into people. Hokum mounts one so-called scare after another without ever reaching the audacity of that moment."
