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.
Lazaretto (2020)
A terrible disease has swept the nation. Amidst riots, food shortages and growing unrest, the government forcibly locked up 35% of the population, citing them as a risk to society due to higher potential infection rates...based on their blood type. A group of women working to dismantle the system are given a window to strike when a new wave of sickness sweeps the nation - no “Type As” involved. Security forces have abandoned their posts and if our vigilantes can infiltrate the system, they could free thousands in an instant. But everything comes at a cost. Filmed entirely during the 2020 lockdown, following social distancing guidelines.
