Wake Wood is a 2011 horror film directed by David Keating. The story revolves around a couple, Louise and Patrick, who lost their daughter Alice in a vicious dog attack. They move to a small rural town called Wake Wood, where they find a pagan community that practices a dark ritual that can bring the dead back to life for three days.
The couple decides to perform the ritual, and with the help of the locals, they manage to resurrect their daughter for three days. The reunited family spends an idyllic three days together, but they also come to realize that Alice is not quite the same as she was before her death. Dark forces begin to take over the town, and they threaten to destroy everything in their path.
As the three days come to an end, the couple realizes they must let their daughter go once again and say goodbye forever. But their decision comes at a great cost, and they face the wrath of the pagan community and the supernatural forces that are unleashed during the ritual.
Wake Wood is a haunting and disturbing film that explores the theme of loss and the lengths that some people will go to in order to bring back their loved ones. The movie is a tribute to classic horror films, with a slow-burning, suspenseful plot that builds to an intense and bloody climax.
