This incredibly awful rehash of Pet Sematary lacks atmosphere, suspense, or the slightest thrill. Only the scenes where the parents bond with their newly reborn dead daughter are close to competent, giving a sense of how irrational grief can be. Once it's clear she's evil, the film's ineptitude is almost overwhelming. I could count off two dozen better killer kid movies than this without giving it much thought. That Wake Wood made so many end-of-year lists for horror fans is truly disturbing.
