Wake Wood (2011)

Starring: Aiden Gillen, Eva Birtistle, Timothy Spall
Director: David Keating

Synopsis:
After the untimely death of their daughter, the parents find a way to have her resurrected for three days so they can properly say goodbye. When the daughter comes back, there appears to be something off about her.

My Take:
A nice, slow burn type of movie where the emotion of grief weighs heavy throughout. The setting of a rural Irish village helps adds to creepy atmosphere. The leads are excellent. If you those things in your horror viewing then look no further.

So Good
