Atom User Reviews for Hokum
Please do not listen to the negative reviews about this movie , finally something not predictable! This movie was genuinely surprising in the fact that it was really amazing ! You have to pay attention, you couldnt predict what was going to happen next at all ! If. Youre on…
Fantastic sound design, engaging human and supernatural mystery, as well as loveable old Jerry.
I thought I wasn't gonna like it but I did!!! 100% recommended
12/10. I cannot recommend this movie enough. Please please please trust me and watch it on the big screen.
emotional masterpiece
Trailer looked like it was more than what it was. A few jump scare but not as terrifying. There's just a lot of holes for me in the story. It's a rental.
Decent movie. Wasn’t really scary. Typical jump scares.
It was awe full, not scary at all and dumb -don’t get me wrong if I go to see scary movie I want to be scare
So boring
Boring
😴 😴 😴 snooze fest. Save your money
excellent
This abomination of a movie was 1. Very vastly and felt agged on 2. Bunny man made no sense whatsoever 3. Jerry should have been the main character
would recommend watching, was worth it, good movie!!!
It was okay. Could have been better. Relied on jump scares to make it scary. The trailer was misleading.
The way this director builds the scares is amazing.
I'm not a big fan of the MC and his acting was ok, but the cast was great, especially shroom dude. The movie was suspenseful, and got 4 jump scares out of me. I also randomly got teary-eyed at one point which was unexpected. Solid horror flick.
One of the scariest movies in a while. Makes you think, but isn’t trying to be overly cerebral.
Tense as hell, highly recommend
Great movie, deep meaning, crazy plot twist.
Very creepy, straight to the point. Some more could have been explored in terms of story. But the scenes were so nerve wrecking.
Easily the scariest movie I've seen since Paranormal Activity came out.
Metacritic
What could have easily been an overstuffed confluence of ideas – a haunted house, a ghost, a witch, a murder, oh my! – comes together so effectively because of McCarthy’s masterful command of what scares audiences.
It's not elevated horror attempting to reinvent any wheels. It is, however, a very satisfying, very fun, and very well executed scary movie.
The film’s simple premise is supported by smart plotting, nimble editing and evocative sound, and lands with frightening force. An engagingly frigid performance by Scott furthers the film’s keen ability to conjure overwhelming anxiety from its many punchy jump scares, combining to make Hokum an exceptionally chilling horror film.
