Wake Wood is about a grieving couple, Patrick and Louise, who move to a rural village after the tragic death of their daughter, Alice. They encounter strange rituals led by Arthur, a veterinary colleague, that can bring the dead back to life for three days. Desperate to see Alice again, they participate in the ritual, using a finger and necklace from her grave. However, the resurrected Alice starts killing animals and villagers, causing chaos. Eventually, the couple admits Alice had been dead for over a year, leading to her abnormal behavior. Louise is dragged into the grave with Alice, and later, a pregnant Louise is resurrected.
