The movie follows Scott's character Bauman, an American novelist who travels to Ireland to scatter his dead parents’ ashes and discovers that his hotel may be haunted.
It was filmed at West Cork Film Studios in Skibbereen, and Scott stayed at Liss Ard Estate during his time in Ireland.
'West Cork, and Skibbereen specifically, is one of the most beautiful places in the world,' Scott said.
'Whenever we weren’t working, I was staying on this really cool estate that’s been turned into a hotel, the Liss Ard Estate.
'When I had time, I would just get lost in the grounds. I walked those grounds probably 30 times over the couple of months we were there. It is just beautiful. I could lose myself in West Cork and stay there for months and months.'
Hokum is the latest project from Bantry-born director Damien McCarthy.

Ireland is a place to go and a place to stay as far as I’m concerned.'
Hokum is in Irish and UK cinemas on this Friday, May 1st.
