Synopsis of Wake Wood

A veteran and a pharmacist learn there is no cheating death after losing their daughter in a tragic accident, then taking part in a Pagan ritual to bring her back to life. Their nine year old daughter Alice killed in a vicious canine attack, Patrick (Aidan Gillen) and Louise move to the sleepy village of Wakewood to start a new life. Once there, they encounter mysterious village leader Arthur (Timothy Spall), who claims he can resurrect Alice for three days so the grieving parents can say their proper goodbyes. If they agree, however, Patrick and Louise will be binded to Wakewood forever. Shortly thereafter, and the ritual is conducted. As Arthur promised, Alice returns to her parents as if she were never gone. But when three days pass and the time comes for Alice to go, Patrick and Louise discover just how frightening things can get when the rules are broken. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This independent Irish film is unexpectedly good. The story is based on an ancient pagan rite set in a modern day small village in Ireland. The only cast member the American audience will recognize is the excellent English actor, Tim Spall of the Harry Potter film series. A bit gory but a good tale told all the same. It reminded me a bit of "The Wicker Man" and an early episode of "Night Gallery" called, "The Sin Eater" based on an ancient Welsh rite. It was also a tad reminiscent of King's "Pet Cemetery" a good film for a stormy night and a pint of bitters. My Grade: B+ Marc L. Seattle, WA

    I did not think I'd like this movie but came out of it surprised. I didn't find that it dragged on, but I did think I had it all figured out. Without giving things away, I was surprised at the way the movie ended. It was really good, and something I'd not expect. Things just fit, the plot, possibly a fantasy of some, comes with limitations. And again, just when you think you have a handle and know what comes next, you probably do, yet you don't.. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't pass this by. I found the ending to be both an awesome idea and a nice one..
