★★★ (3 out of 4)
If you didn’t already realize than Damien McCarthy is a visionary new talent in horror after “Oddity” and “Caveat,” then “Hokum” will seal the deal. Jeez—the dude’s first name even has an “Omen” vibe. And get this—the lead character, played by the reliably superb Adam Scott, is a Stephen King-ish author named Ohm Bauman. Or maybe it’s a Buddhist chant. OK, enough of omens.
