So are 95% of horror films!

True, but not many films appear to be marketed as a hybrid of the two . . .

I enjoyed it.
Not in the league of those legends mentioned above,but a commendable effort nonetheless.

Wonder when it'll hit UK BD?
Strange how it's been released in the States on BD!:confused:

I thought it was a homage to Pet Semetary and The Wicker Man. Don't Look Now never entered my head.

There are a number of genre titles being released on DVD only, in the UK, while our US cousins get the Blu . It's frustrating, especially when some of these are supposedly "British" movies.:mmph:

I really enjoyed it. I've been longing for that classic Hammer vibe and as other have said, this has a touch of it. Not perfect but give me Wake Wood over 99% of homognized Hollywood drivel any day.

Is the US Blu region locked?
I'm pretty sure it is. :(

Paul@TheOverlook 28th January 2012 02:53 PM

I'm almost certain it was released by Image Entertainment, a company that region locks everything.

I thought Wakewood was good but incredibly derivative of other, better films. It's always hard to enjoy something that constantly evokes memories of classic films because they almost always fail to deliver. It's by no means a bad film, far from it, but there's more than passing similarities to Don't Look Now, Wicker Man and even Pet Sematry (a film I really like). I'd give it a solid three (out of five) and would probably watch it again.

I own it and, yes, it is Region A.
