Wake Wood

Synopsis

Wake Wood (2009) follows grieving parents who, after losing their young daughter, move to a remote Irish village where a pagan ritual can bring the dead back to life—for three days. As they defy the ritual’s rules to hold onto their child longer, the boundaries between life and death unravel with horrifying consequences. This eerie folk horror revival combines grief, guilt, and supernatural dread in a modern tale echoing classic Hammer atmosphere.
