One of the most welcome studio returns in ages has to be that of Hammer Films. The website for their latest production, “>The Wake Wood, just went online, and it has a few goodies for you to peruse.

One of them is the exclusive still you’ll find below. Be sure to check the official Hammer Films site for more.

Directed and co-written by David Keating and starring Aidan Gillen, Eva Birthistle, and Timothy Spall, The Wake Wood tells the tale of a couple still grieving over the death of nine-year-old Alice, their only child who was killed at the jaws of a crazed dog. Vet Patrick and pharmacist Louise relocate to the remote town of Wake Wood, where they learn of a pagan ritual that will allow them three more days with Alice. The couple find the idea disturbing and exciting in equal measure, but once they agree to terms with Arthur, the village’s leader, a far bigger question looms: What will they do when it’s time for Alice to go back?
