Exclusive: Wake Wood Trailer

Not heard of Wake Wood? Well, put it this way: it's a Hammer Horror film, and it features buckets of blood, crazed dogs, and arcane rituals - and we've got exclusive stills and a trailer for it. Luverly jubbly.

Starring Aidan Gillen (still best known for being The Mayor from The Wire), Eva Birtwhistle (Ae Fond Kiss...) and Timothy Spall (you know, Timothy Spall), it's the story of a young couple who make a Faustian pact (of sorts) to see their deceased child Alice for three days.

Cue hands reaching out from the ground to pull them in, snapping, snarling, deranged dogs, and Timothy Spall doing a mean line in being a creepy evil bastard.

And though it's always lovely to have an exclusive trailer from a resurgent classic British horror studio to show off, couldn't you have done something about the titles, guys?

A minor quibble, admittedly, and hardly to the detriment of the overall scariness of the Anglo-Irish production, but hey, you know.

Check out the trailer itself below, as well as the stills, and let us know what you think. Do we have another Hammer Horror classic on our hands? Or is it not quite what you were expecting from the studio? Let us know...

Wake Wood has no release date as yet, but is, as they say, "coming soon..."
