Overall the acting was decent, but no one of particular note. Always a fan of british accents so that makes me happy. The use of the tight small spaces was done well too. I wasn't particularly moved emotionally, sometimes it was a bit cheesy. I think that's to be expected.

5.5/10

One thing that did bother me is


-------SPOILER FOR THE REAL LIFE EVENTS THE MOVIE IS BASED ON--------

The real events were proved to be false, all made up and colluded on by the family. I am ok with a film using a real life event, even proved false, to make a good film, but during the credits the 'actual' pictures and recordings used implies to the viewer it was real and there was hard proof the this events were real. Also the text used in the before and after of the film implied this as well.
I think the BBC 3 or 4 part version is also a good watch. More about the emotional connections with the characters than the demon and ghost involved.

Ghostwatch is a great adaptation of the Enfield haunting.
