Hammer Films are 2 and 1 in my book with LET ME IN being their other hit (THE RESIDENT being somewhat of a lackluster entry), but WAKE WOOD is by far the one most reminiscent of Hammer films of old, if you ask me. Though it doesn’t have Christopher Lee hissing at a leaping Peter Cushing or damsels sporting fancy dress and loads of cleavage, WAKE WOOD is a straight up and unapologetic horror film through and through. Writer/director David Keating pulls off a story of loss and the lengths we all will go to avoid it.
