Syo Kennex 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.

paigecorene Hearing about the up coming movie The Conjuring 2, I was interested in learning about The Enfield Haunting. I am highly interested in learning about paranormal stories, watching movies and shows about it.This show was truly disappointing.I read up on the real story before watching the T.V series which only consisted of 3 episodes. The acting, the dialogue and the story was all rubbish. Understanding the plot and what was going on between the characters was nearly impossible. It was extremely sloppy and unorganized.I can withstand watching a lot of things, but this was unbearable. Don't waste your time watch 3, 45 minute episodes of this garbage.

FlashCallahan Between 1977 and 1979, a council house in Enfield, England, was supposedly the home to a poltergeist, a ghost that can move objects, and even cause bodily harm to the living. The focus of the activity was towards Janet Hodgson, giving some credit to the belief that poltergeists hone in on pre-pubescent teenagers......Based on the book 'This House Is Haunted', The Enfield Haunting is a TV miniseries that first aired on Sky Living back in May 2015. And obviously because it's a Sky production, like Jurassic Park, they have spared no expense on the production values and garnered a wonderfully impressive cast with Spall, Stevenson, and Macfayden.With mini series, they follow the same pattern with narrative, and here there is no change. The first episode focuses on character build up and leaving you with an immense cliffhanger, so you have to go back for more.The second gets right into the 'action' as we learn more about the history of the story, and we find out others problems who are not directly involved with the protagonist, who in this case is young Janet, even though the majority of the narrative is focused on Spall and his characters loss.The third episode usually tries to wrap everything up, but not before throwing in a swing all for good measure, and this is the problem with the third episode, at the beginning, she is supposedly exorcised, but things just become so absurd with character revelations, you can't help but balk at the episodes progression of the adaptation, and then you begin to realise that Spalls lost puppy look that hasn't changed throughout the whole series, is really starting to grate.But the attention to detail is wonderful, from posters on the wall, to simple decor like coffee cups, this has a typical late seventies household down to a tee.Up to a certain point, the programme is spooky, very sinister, and characters visions are very visceral and leftfield, and then we hear the poltergeist speak, and it's unintentionally hilarious to hear a ghost moan about losing ten pound on a football match.But the cast are great, and despite the final episodes shortcomings, it's quite the gripping watch.

San Ookamitora If you are familiar with the REAL account of the Enfield haunting, you would have heard stories of a divorce which tore a family apart, sending a mother and her two adolescent girls to a council flat in Enfield London. In 1977 Poltergeist activity began in the flat mostly in the Girl's bedroom, and in the walls. There were sounds of knocking, a scratching fireplace and objects levitating as well as the girls themselves being lifted out of bed by an unknown force. Morris Gross a paranormal investigator, decided to look into the case by paying them a visit. Janet, the young girl spoke in an old man's voice and Margaret, the older child explained the hauntings, and the youngest son had been thrown out of bed, a few times. HOWEVER-That is NOT what this Drama portrays. I wasn't even sure I was watching the same story. Everything was blown far out of proportion! The events in the first two episodes were accurate, such as Timothy Spall ( who is always gold for me) and the child actress playing Janet was brilliant but they did not match the truth. The third and fourth episodes were highly disappointing.For one, I don't remember a glowing ball of light follow Janet around burning her (the line "like Tinker Bell!" was just cringe-worthy.) -nor do I recall her as saying she saw visions of people in the bathroom mirror. In the real account, I don't remember reading about Janet's hospital visit where she tipped over her bed to try and escape the ball of light. I certainly don't remember the part of Janet's story where she is locked out of her house and then sees herself sitting with her sister and grandmother! Who the hell wrote that?! The ants were very stupid too, there were no violent attacks on the girls to the point where they had bruises. We don't even know if half of what they said happened was true. They have said things that seem to give away their positions of lies. In an interview one even tried to silence the other if she said anything about it being a hoax. The real Morris Grosse came out about this saying it was "Television Drama tripe." He said they were going to stick to the real story but they just butchered it. They tried to do what The Conjuring did, I felt like I was watching a sequel to that (ironically the upcoming sequel is all about the Enfield Haunting,) I love all these actors I really do, but their talent was wasted here. Love the Actors and Actresses-they did a terrific job. Just not a big fan of the overly dramatized accounts. This was very poor.
