## Description

Still grieving the death of nine-year-old Alice - their only child - at the jaws of a crazed dog, vet Patrick and pharmacist Louise relocate to the remote town of Wake Wood where they learn of a pagan ritual that will allow them three more days with Alice. The couple find the idea disturbing and exciting in equal measure, but once they agree terms with Arthur, the village's leader, a far bigger question looms - what will they do when it's time for Alice to go back?

    Witchcraft/Supernatural movie from Hammer Horror
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018*

This review is for the Blu-Ray edition of Wake Wood released by Dark Sky Films/Hammer in 2009.This is a horror movie in the tradition of supernatural and witchcraft(more specifically Pagan rituals) films. This movie has been compared by many to Stephen King's 'Pet Sematary'.The movie is a decent but there are problems with it. My complaints below might seem numerous but they almost all could have been eliminated with just a little bit of tightening to the script.For extra's you get some deleted scenes and a trailer.I'm giving this release 3 stars for a decent movie and for it being a Hammer Horror movie.PLOT/SUMMARY: Patrick and Louise Daley have moved to a small town in Great Britain. Patrick is a veterinarian and his wife Louise is a pharmacist. They lose their only child, Alice, when she is mauled to death by a dog being treated by Patrick. Louise cannot have any more children.One night Louise stumbles upon a strange ritual involving many of the local townspeople. The ritual's leader, Mick O'Shea notices her. She doesn't tell her husband about it. The couple decides to leave the town after seeing a local gored to death by a bull. Mick convinces them to stay by telling them that they can see their daughter again if they stay. The catch is that it is for 3 days only and then they cannot ever leave the village. Patrick doesn't believe it but Louise has already witnessed  the ritual involved and is desperate to see her daughter again. Mick tells them that this will give them the opportunity to say goodbye the proper way.Patrick and Louise reveal in a conversation that they have with each other that there is something that they are hiding and make it pretty clear that they don't believe the ritual would be allowed to take place if they were found out about.They do everything they need to do and Alice is reborn after a gruesome ritual and she is reborn exactly the same age as when she died. Alice seems to have her memories intact and feels like she just woke up from a dream. Patrick and Louise are as happy as can be but they know they have only 3 days. Quietly they contemplate the possibility of running away with the child but after the first day Alice begins to behave oddly.PRODUCTION/COMMENTS: This is a Hammer Horror movie. The original company stopped making movies in 1979 with 'The Lady Vanishes.' There was a short lived television series. There have been several other movies made since this one. They even managed to get Christopher Lee (one of the two biggest stars of the original Hammer Horror to make an appearance and give the newer studio some legitimacy.-This was by and large a straight to DVD release. It did have a very limited theatrical release.-The movie stars Aidan Gillen (Little Finger from Game of Thrones). There some other recognizable faces, notably Brian Gleeson and Eva Birthistle.-I'm not sure how I really feel about this movie. I waited a few days to write this review (October, 2018). Ultimately, I felt like I have seen it all before. Though the 'rebirth' scene was something new. At least as far as how they did it. Bringing somebody back from the dead is, of course, not all that new.COMPLAINTS:*****SPOILERS BELOW******A lot of my criticism below is made without certain knowledge that might clear up a few things. I have no idea if this movie was based on a novel and if so, if the novel explains my complaints below. So if there is such a novel or perhaps, some things were explained or just went over my head then you can go ahead an invalidate my complaints (You can do so regardless!).-Many of the events,especially the deaths could have been avoided if the locals had just been more truthful with the Daley's. All they really had to do was tell them what would happen if they were lying. They could have told them what would happen if they brought the girl past the town boundaries.-I didn't find it believable that they would leave the girl alone for even 1 minute if they had only 3 days together. I don't believe they would have ever let her out of their sight, especially not leaving her alone in her bedroom. I doubt very much they would play 'hide and seek' and let her wander off. Who would try to take away the kid from it's parents to go on a pony ride when they had such limited time? Of course they end up going along but that was not the premise from the start. Just put yourself in their shoes. Would anybody out there do these things knowing that witchcraft was used and that you had only very limited time together.-I did not like the very end. From the time the girl drags her mom under with her to the final scene was a disappointment, or maybe disappointment is the wrong word since it was unexpected and I wasn't really expectinganything.-I don't like when movies change the rules on you or create something new at the end of a movie. For instance when a wizard in a fantasy movie comes up with a crazy new power that nobody new about to defeat their enemy. You know..it goes something like this....."you see, you have the power of love and the power of love always triumphs over hate...." I"m sure you get my point. Even though there was some crazy stuff going on and not at all believable at that, it's still OK because you were given the rules. You get 3 days, you must not leave the town boundaries, etc. Basically nobody told us that Eva was going to have to die, so I didn't like that part. What's worse followed.-What is up with Louise being pregnant. I get the part at the end with Patrick performing the C-section but how was that even possible. For starters, they never explained how she could have been pregnant since it was impossible for her to be pregnant. Then, Louise is either re-birthed as nearly full-term pregnant or becomes full-term in less than 3 days? How is that possible since she was not 'showing' at the time of her death.-I can suspend disbelief about the ritual but they could have at least given us some sort of back story. Why can this ritual only be done in Wake Wood? Why 3 days? (they do give us a bit of an explanation on this, but not much) Why can you not leave the boundaries. Shouldn't they at least have given some sort of explanation?Even if it was something as simple as the place being cursed or ancient Druids created the borders. Something....anything would have been good.-Why must the ritual be done within a year of death? What happens if they leave the town of Wake Wood after they return their daughter? Why can the ritual still be done after a year and why does the newly reborn turn evil? Whey can't you look at the evil beings? How can the evil beings just turn out the lights, etc. etc. etc.I  didn't catch any explanations....just new rules the further we went into the story. I know I'm being fussy, but really any simple explanation would do. They can just say, for instance, they are Satan's spawn after a year and I would accept that and move on.*****END OF SPOILERS*****RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommended for fans of all types of horror films. More specifically, if you like movies that deal with the supernatural and/or witchcraft, this movie will be right up your alley.Recommended obviously for Hammer Horror completists since you must have it, unless of course your collection ends with the downfall of the original company.I'm giving the movie 2 1/2 stars for the movie and adding a 1/2 for the Hammer name. So we get 3 stars.

    This is definitely a 'keeper'!  Great film!
  

*by B***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2015*

Wow!  I mean, seriously, WOW!  As an independent filmmaker myself, I was quite taken aback by this clever, well written, cinematically defined and exceptionally directed film.  It is 'different' in so many ways.  The acting was extraordinary!  This is not so much of an 'edge of your seat' type of film as it is thought-provoking.  And I'm not talking one of those 'Oh, yeah, I knew it would turn out like that!' kind of films.  This is a ride that goes through to the very last minute of filming.  There are numerous surprises, but clearly a lot of time was put into making this ingenious horror twist believable.  Obviously it has to do with a foreign urban myth, but the true genius lies in how it was directed.  By the end of the film I was simply dumb-founded by the magic employed to make me a believer of the story-line.  FYI, I have no ties to the making of this film (I wish I did).  Additionally, I haven't heard a lot of hype about it prior to buying and watching the DVD version.  As a matter of fact, I bought this film because it was a good price and I was truly expecting a low budget 'B' movie that might possibly give me a good laugh and I could pick it to pieces over 'post' mistakes.  Boy, was I in for a shocker!  This is a film that has earned its' five stars and credible credentials.  You really should watch it.  I guarantee you won't be disappointed, and if you are then clearly you are out to be the one to argue any point of a movie whether it is good or bad just for the attention!
