I got to have a lovely deep dive and spoiler-filled chat about our sound work on Damian McCarthy’s HOKUM on the Sound Start podcast: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/s...

Brilliant, inspiring read about the excellent sound work by @lydrummet.bsky.social and @garretfarrell.bsky.social (and the rest of the sound team) on Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,

Finally got to collaborate with my very talented friend @lydrummet.bsky.social on a film. We had a blast working on the sound for this brilliant, creepy stunner from Damian McCarthy with a very talented sound team. Released in cinemas today by NEON today:

My interview with Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy on his new film HOKUM is live on @fangoria.bsky.social! HOKUM stars Adam Scott and it's a shrieker - scary, imaginative, and moving. Opens this weekend, and it absolutely should be seen in a theater with a big crowd for maximum screamage! 😱⚡🤩

Hokum is released in cinemas today. We had a blast working on the sound for it with writer/director Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity).

Caught HOKUM at SXSW. Very scary, very fun and unexpectedly moving. Damian McCarthy is a master of the craft, and Adam fully embodies his protagonist, a cantankerous, alcoholic author who ends up out of his depth (literally). Horror fans, this is the film for YOU!

On my favorite of this year's SXSW, the chilling HOKUM. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/hoku...

My Fangoria review of Damian McCarthy’s new film HOKUM, starring Adam Scott! In theaters May 1… brace yourself!

Damian McCarthy's 'Hokum,' starring Adam Scott, hones the Irish writer/director’s horror style to a sharp and terrifying point.

HOKUM from Damian McCarthy is quite good! A smartly conceived horror film that’s unafraid of leaning into the what makes the genre go. My review via Screen Daily

So many lovely reactions and reviews for HOKUM after its premiere at SXSW. We had a blast working on the sound design for it with writer/director Damian McCarthy (Oddity, Caveat).
