The Enfield Haunting

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.

Once of those shows I've had sitting about for ages, and finally gotten around to watching. Part one takes a little bit of effort to get through, as it was a little slow in parts, but the further you get into it, the better it gets.

THE ENFIELD HAUNTING is a three-part miniseries dramatisation of the famous real-life poltergeist case from 1977, in which psychic investigators Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair researched the plight of two sisters who were being haunted by a ghost in their own bedroom.It was a hugely influential storyline and one which still sends shivers up my spine to date, the BBC mockumentary GHOSTWATCH has been the best adaptation of the material despite making up its own storyline.

The first two are excellently creepy, really edge of your seat stuff. I remember the first time I watched the third I was disappointed but after rewatching it and thinking about it , the final episode of the trilogy is a much more heartfelt and emotional episode which really gives Morris the depth and character development he needed to bring the show full circle and reach a satisfying conclusion.

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......

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 is delightful in a small way but you have to make a shift. It gives out that it's going to be horror about poltergeists, we get to that effect malicious forces around the house, objects that move, a possessed girl and a seance, in other words we have largely the same events and scenes of a poltergeist film but without the murky oppression of American films of that sort, without the angst or the aural violence.

To be honest I was expecting more from this mini-series. The subject for a good story is there, but the delivery was too weak in my humble opinion.

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.
