Adam Scott Finds Horror in West Cork Beauty

Actor Adam Scott has expressed his admiration for West Cork, Ireland, a location where he recently filmed the supernatural horror movie Hokum. Scott, known for his roles in 'Severance' and 'Parks And Recreation,' plays the protagonist, an American novelist who travels to a remote part of Ireland. His character's journey to scatter his parents' ashes takes a disturbing turn when he suspects his hotel is haunted. The film delves into themes of confronting one's past amidst unsettling visions and a mysterious disappearance.

Filmed at West Cork Film Studios, Hokum features a predominantly Irish cast and crew. Scott, the sole American actor on set, was highly impressed by their professionalism and the inherent beauty of the Irish landscape. He described West Cork, specifically Skibbereen, as one of the most beautiful places globally, highlighting the Liss Ard Estate as a personal retreat. Director Damian McCarthy, also from West Cork, noted Ireland's suitability for horror due to its rich folklore and history.
