Hokum review – Adam Scott dour and grumpy in enjoyably eerie rural horror

-
A writer’s retreat to the remote Irish hotel in which his parents spent their honeymoon brings him face-to-face with all manner of creepy goings-on in a gruesome and eccentric black-comic shocker Adam Scott has an unexpectedly dark, unsympathetic character to play in this black-comic supernatural horror which thumps you with some pretty efficient jump scares. He plays Ohm, a successful American writer brooding over the brutally nihilistic ending to his latest novel; he is also lonely, sliding into alcoholism and clearly agonised by some unacknowledged pain in his personal life. Ohm decides the time is right to take the ashes of his dead parents – which he has kept for years – and scatter them in the one place he knows they were happy, and where he perhaps hopes to siphon off some postdated happiness for himself.

Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender appeared on the red carpet at Cannes

Last year, a joyful event happened in the life of lovers because they had a long-awaited baby, but at the same time, young parents literally disappeared from the public radar. However, they finally marked their new status with a joint exit in the south of France. The Swedish actress expressed her allegiance to fashion house Louis Vuitton, of which she has been an ambassador since receiving her first Oscar for The Danish Girl in 2016. The bronze "mail" of her outfit in a seductive performance was woven from the smallest details, shimmering in the light of the spotlights. The criss-cross top and high-waisted skirt combination perfectly highlighted the figure of the star, who hasn't gotten any better since the baby was born. Otherwise, Alicia kept her make-up understated, with minimal jewelry, and completed the look with a high bun that showed off her delicate features. Michael settled on a discreet suit with a white shirt and a neat tie. The happy dad is not trying to outshine his wife, who decided to personally introduce her heroine Mira from the new comedy series Irma Vep.
