Details

Supernatural drama based on real-life events that took place in an ordinary North London home in 1977. During the autumn of that year, novice paranormal researcher Maurice Grosse hears of a family reported to be terrorised by supernatural forces. After the recent death of his own daughter, Maurice gets drawn into the family's story, which also involves a young girl at the centre of the bizarre happenings. The researcher enlists the help of experienced investigator Guy Lyon Playfair, who at first believes the case to be a scam - that is, until he comes into contact with the malevolent presence himself.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Salva Robles I have seen this TV film quietly on my couch next to my wife, one of those Sunday afternoons without much to do and almost by chance, and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised ... In fact, I truly believe that it is a small jewel and aspiring cult movie. The setting is surprisingly good, the script, based on a book by Guy Lyon Playfair (one of the Enfield investigators), is magnificent. It does not abuse of any special effects, and it does back to the typical horror- suspense movies of the 70's and 80's like "The Changeling" type. Now that all horror films are gore or a collection of special effects, that is thankful. In addition, the script is full of subtle comic moments, surreal even, perfectly matched with the suspense of the film, that far from falling into the "Scary Movie" manners, what it does is humanize the characters, make them closer to the viewer and endow them with a certain psychological depth; help to this the great performances (along with the great script), of practically all the actors and actresses of this, in my opinion, small great work of art. The girl who plays Janet (Eleanor Worthington Cox) and the actor who plays Grosse (Timothy Spall) are immeasurable, great. The background of the work transcends the simple entertainment cinema (which is, but with quality), and penetrates into areas such as the importance of attachment in relationships, love, youth and adolescence, the importance of family, etc ... Simply great, hopefully this type of cinema more personal (even if it is in the fantastic-terror terrain) popularizes and more works are done as well as this. It is not necessary to spend a million- euro in special effects in a movie so that it can turn out (this film is proof of it), in fact this film gains credibility by using the just and the just, sometimes very handmade. A film conceived for TV, very good and highly recommended!.
Loz Newby This 3 part series has arrived on the TV channel Pick recently, not long after I went to watch The Conjuring 2, which is based on the Enfield poltergeist. However, it is important to point out that, if you enjoyed The Conjuring 2 or not, this series is played out very differently and made to entertain you more than terrify you. The characters are portrayed very differently to the film, so much so, you need to see the stories as completely separate. Timothy Spall is genius as can be expected and the story line is based more around him than the family. Very enjoyable short series and definitely worth a watch. I've recorded all three episodes and will definitely watch them again.
ciais-43073 based on the fake account of supernatural goings on at green st Enfield. This is just as good as the Amityville horror. (really awful) Both demonstrably hoaxes. Mr Spall must have been given a big payout. The levitation in Enfield, was just Janet, leaping from her bed. It is sad that people buy into this nonsense. There are drugs that a doctor can give you to help. Mr Spall gives a good performance, as he is a talented actor. But one wonders why he does crap like this. If you believe pixies live in the armpits of kangaroos, then maybe this is for you. Because there is as much evidence of pixies living in the armpits of kangaroos as there is for this tripe. OH DEAR. OH DEAR.........
naughtydogproductions The Enfield Haunting is a scary but interesting ghost story based on real events. I feel like the show has given me the belief in ghosts, the events happened in 1977 and I feel amazing after watching the first episode. Although it has cheesy scenes and parts where you feel like sleeping till death, you'll get intrigued after the first 5 minutes. Don't Worry. Unlike other movies/shows that contain ghosts this topped it all, The Conjuring is a sequel to The Enfield Haunting and The Conjuring can't even get to the wonderful standards of this show. The part where the girls notice that the poltergeist is in the room brings heart- pounding moments and moments were you eyes are glued for the entire episode.
