In person, Adam Scott is courteous and curious with an inviting wit — a far cry from the jerks he so deliciously portrays on screen.
In “Hokum,” Damian McCarthy’s nightmare-fueling horror flick that hit theaters Friday, Scott plays Ohm Bauman, a cantankerous novelist who treks to a remote Irish inn to spread his parents’ ashes and finds himself haunted by more than his own unresolved anguish.
As an enthusiastic fan of “Oddity,” McCarthy’s 2024 ghost story breakout, Scott hopped on a call to discuss a role in “Hokum” he very much wanted but didn’t assume he’d land. McCarthy figured Scott was too in demand to sign on.
“It was like two guys on a Zoom who are way too nice, so neither one of us really wanted to go out on a limb and ask the other one if they wanted to work,” Scott says. “And our [mutual] agent was like, ‘You guys ... talk to each other.’”
Thus began Scott’s haunting Irish escapade. A ghostly honeymoon suite, a missing hotel staffer, a restless witch — the guilt-ridden, standoffish Ohm confronts all of the above on his path to absolution.
