Hokum<\/em> recently hit theaters, and it’s already outperforming box office expectations. If this Kubrick-referencing haunted hotel flick starring Adam Scott<\/a> was your introduction to director Damian McCarthy, do yourself a favor and go watch his previous film, Oddity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to go in blind – the ideal way to watch any movie – Oddity<\/em> is available to stream on Hoopla<\/a>, Kanopy<\/a>, Hulu<\/a>, and Shudder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Warning: Spoilers ahead.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
