Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty Good

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The Enfield Haunting was a three part show that I was definitely looking forward to watching. As a horror fan, I was excited to watch it, and very happily binged all three episodes in one sitting. I think that maybe expecting it to be more on the horror side was a mistake on my part, but it fell flat for me.The Enfield Haunting is based more within grief, and how grief affects those it chooses to haunt. This was done very well within The Enfield Haunting. All actors and actresses really brought it to life, and it was an immense feeling of goosebumps and chills for the viewers.However, the show seemed to lack as it went on. There was potential for a lot more, and it made me cringe a little to see how it just got more boring. The jump scares were mere cheap thrills, cheap tactics over used in horror films and not something that would really affect anyone that watches horror on a large scale. For a television show, more aimed at people who aren't huge horror fans, this was well done, but it bored me out of my skin.The story line got more and more jumbled and things didn't feel like they were closed at the end, and I think more could have been done. Another episode might have done good in clearing everything up, and frankly, I feel like I wasted my time watching this.The characters are good, but the plot is pretty sub par, and that for me, was a real killer. It was a shame, truly. I would have liked this to be a seven or eight star review, but six feels too generous as it is.

After a strange series of incidents in their home, a family's seemingly unending attacks by an unseen force attacking them for a special secret involving their sordid past and try to find a way of ending the threats before they continue.For the most part this here was quite the problematic and disappointing miniseries effort though there's still some rather enjoyable elements here. Among the biggest problems here is the fact that this one here is really just way too long for what it should be, taking up a large section of the film with just absolutely inane series of scenes here that take up plenty of time here. The incessant way it goes about featuring the family squabbles that go from their being absolutely at each other's throats for infidelity or incestuous issues, to being at odds with the group of paranormal investigators one minute to actually believing them the next and then being absolutely overwhelmed with their past issues which all manage to hold this one down by being stretched out in terms of it's pace for far longer than it really should. This one really could've told many of these issues in a far shorter space of time, while also managing to display that absolutely irritating British manner of feeling so drawn-out and lagging with it's tempo that the pace is even further dragged out here. While the last-half twist of being trapped in the asylum while undergoing tests manages to feel quite logical, the fact that this seems far too ill-placed in here and just feels out-of-place in here. These issues here drop this one while the one thing this one does get right in here involves the film's actual haunting attacks. These are quite fun with the usual floating bodies, distorted voices and discharging projectiles around at the family where it gets quite chilling in the brief spurts where they get featured in this. They do lift this up out of the doldrums that the rest of the film features.Rated Unrated/R: Language, Violence and children-in-jeopardy.

Firstly The Enfield Haunting is based on a true story, and as with almost all true stories some artistic licence has been applied. Nevertheless the plot of this three part miniseries will have even the most hardened viewer checking under the bed or in the closet. The acting from the entire cast is top notch with the excellent Timothy Spall playing the lead role as the investigator Maurice Grosse. Almost all of the poltergeist activity portrayed in the series actually took place and is well documented, from flying marbles to moving objects, attacks on family members and even the spirit communicating through the daughter – recordings of which can still be heard today. The effects applied and the reactions they invoke are incredibly well constructed and add to the tension. If you can't handle stress or don't like biting your nails this is definitely not for you. Where things do go a little awry though are with the inclusion of some events which simply didn't happen (of which there are very few) and the exclusion of several events which actually did happen. I feel the series should have included some of those events and would have benefited from an additional episode. The plot though did place far too much emphasis on Maurice Grosse and his personal life – something which was never an integral part of the investigation. At the end of the day though this is an extremely good adaptation of real events, well acted, well filmed, and incredibly chilling!

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.
