Hokum Release Date India: PVR INOX Pictures Brings Chilling Irish Horror Hokum To India On THIS Date

PVRINOX Pictures is set to bring an unsettling wave of atmospheric horror to Indian audiences with Hokum, a chilling Irish folk-horror film releasing in theatres across India on 7th May, 2026. Following its international release, the film arrives as a must-watch for fans of psychological and supernatural horror that lingers long after the credits roll.

Directed by Damian McCarthy, known for his distinct storytelling style in Oddity, Hokum blends psychological tension with eerie folklore, crafting a slow-burning narrative rooted in fear of the unseen. The film marks another haunting exploration by the filmmaker into isolation, grief, and the supernatural. Headlined by Adam Scott, the story follows Ohm Bauman, a troubled and reclusive novelist who travels to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes - a place tied to their past. What begins as a deeply personal journey soon spirals into a terrifying ordeal, as Ohm encounters strange disturbances and becomes entangled in sinister local legends surrounding a mysterious witch said to haunt the area.

The film also stars David Wilmot, Austin Amelio, and Florence Ordesh, each adding layers of intrigue and unease to this haunting tale. Set against the hauntingly beautiful yet isolating Irish landscape, Hokum taps into the primal fear of folklore, where myth and reality blur in deeply unsettling ways.
