The DVD release of Wake Wood (the latest release from legendary and revitalized Hammer Films) will be available to buy from 28th March 2011. A ‘hair-raising’ (Matt Glasby, Total Film) and ‘spellbindingly eerie and deliciously grotesque’ (Robbie Collins, News of the World) shocker that manages to stir the emotions as much as it chills the spine, Wake Wood is a new and worthy addition to Hammer’s hallowed canon of classic horror films. And we have 3 copies on DVD up for grabs!
In an attempt to cope with the grief and despair of losing their only child Alice, mauled to death by a savage dog, Patrick and wife Louise move from the city to the remote Irish village of Wake Wood. Their acceptance as members of this close community leads them to the discovery of an ancient pagan ritual practised by the people of Wake Wood in order to help ease the sudden loss of a loved one. This tradition, secretly preserved for many centuries, enables the grief-stricken to bring a deceased person back from the dead for a period of three days within one year of their passing, allowing them to say a final farewell to the departed before they make their final journey to the spirit world. For Patrick and Louise, this represents a miraculous opportunity to see Alice one more time and their request for the villagers’ help in realising their wish is reluctantly granted. But the ritual is bound by strict rules and conditions, which, if broken, demand a terrible price be paid.
