After reading other reviews and watching the trailer for this movie, I had high hopes. They've since been dashed - I think I expected too much.
The story could have been a great one but has flaws. I felt many of the characters were a bit week so I didn't get emotionally attached to any of them and didn't really care what happened to them.
Don't get me wrong, I've sat through much worse films in my time and Wake Wood isn't terrible. I'm disappointed that I'm not going to bed with the story playing on my mind.
I'm also not sure what involvement Hammer had in this film, if any other than a logo on the box of the DVD and on the menu page. They weren't even mentioned in the credits which also had a copyright year of 2009.
If you could only watch one new Hammer movie I'd say The Resident or Let Me in are both a lot more enjoyable.
