Hokum: A Balance of Cheapness and Luxury
Hokum is an enjoyable horror film that will probably get a little under your skin, but it isn’t the tour de force that you might be expecting.

Two angels—Azrael (Manuel Raposo) and Malaquías (Carlos Quezada)—who fell out of God’s favor over thirty years ago, now work at Heaven’s behest to capture wayward souls in the dark, decaying world of Quisqueya. Abandoned by God, their only recourse is to forge alliances with the being who, like them, once fell from the heavens. It is a story of redemption, *bachata* music, and violent clashes involving pistols, knives, and machetes. It centers on a single goal: to dream of their missions once more, so they may walk the Lord’s "righteous" paths and—under His command—eradicate the evil lurking around every corner.

For Incluvie, that primarily means diving into the wonderful "melting pot" of the diversity of American film! In between celebrating and feasting, it's important to remember the very basis this country is founded on: "liberty and justice for all."
