Comments: If you can buy into the plot of the film, you'll find that Wake Wood is a competently made horror film. I had a little trouble getting behind the story, mainly due to all the arbitrary restrictions involved in bringing someone back from the dead, but the movie is really well made - enough that I was generally able to look past these issues and become involved in the proceedings onscreen.
It was also pretty cool to see Hammer involved with the film. Wake Wood did have a '70s feel to it - The Wicker Man has come to mind as I reflect on it. They're also involved in The Woman in Black, which comes out next month. I'm really looking forward to that film, and learning that it's from the Hammer studio makes me even more excited.
So yeah, check out Wake Wood if you get a chance. It's not bad.
