This three-part drama is 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 terrorized 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 center 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.

The scares - creepy man appearing in the mirror, trinkets piled in the middle of the sitting room - work nicely and the balance between what could be real and what is imagined in the characters' heads is handled well. Go to Full Review Grace Dent Independent (UK) 10/09/2015
By my third hour with the ghostly gang in Enfield, I was crying out for a bleeding ceiling or a child's birthday party ruined by guts and gore. Go to Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/09/2015
The scares, when they came, were effective. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 10/11/2018
This straight faced and non-dramatized approach to the horror genre is what makes The Enfield Haunting's antiquated storytelling feel so refreshing. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 10/11/2018

It's a pretty safe introduction to the genre for young people, but as far as older viewers are concerned, that's precisely the problem. Go to Full Review Jane Bowron The Post NZ 06/14/2017
Word has it that Timothy Spall was so freaked out by the storyline that he nearly bailed on the part. Thankfully he didn't and he is at his best here. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nathalie D 04/09/2024 Wonderful cast and locations. I enjoyed each and every episodes. Will re-watch! See more House R 05/27/2023 Timothy Spall was fantastic. See more 03/30/2021 Great period piece. Authentic setting. Has credibility, strong acted and mood-setting camera craft. Characterisations of 5he main players is good enough to carry your belief. Well worth a watch but doesn't quite grab the coattails of The Exorcist. Outstanding effort, nevertheless. See more 11/18/2018 Story was quite different from The Conjuring 2. The acting was good. The setting could have felt more authentic. This story was trying to be more heartwarming. The plot got a bit ridiculous at times. This was drama horror, not thrilling horror. See more 06/17/2016 This is a very good three part drama. Very tense and very scary. Also, extremely well acted, especially by Timothy Spall and Eleanor Worthington-Cox. The drama and suspense never felt over-done or never seemed to clash together. Fantastic cinematography and direction. Stayed true to the source material. Only problem is that it did drag in some spots and was quite slow-building. See more 11/04/2015 I thought this show was pretty good. It's well cast with a mostly unknown to North America British cast and it plays out like an old fashioned horror flick and doesn’t rely on gross-out gore to stir up fear in the audience. Although it's supposedly based on a true story, I've read on line that there are some doubts about that. It's sort of a British retelling of "The Amityville Horror". I found it appropriately creepy with some genuine scary moments. Not a bad show. See more Read all reviews
