Critics Sentiment
Ohm finds Fiona's corpse in the dumbwaiter
Ohm hangs himself and Fiona saves his life
The film recovers from its darkest moment of Ohm's suicide attempt to build tremendous tension and scares in the supernatural sequences.
Hokum starts with mixed reception due to its unlikeable protagonist and slow setup, but builds effectively once the mystery and supernatural elements take hold. The film peaks during its most terrifying sequences in the haunted suite, delivering genuine scares that critics praised, before settling into a satisfying if slightly over-explained resolution.
