	Media	Author	Review
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"If you know about 'The Enfield Poltergeist' mostly from The Conjuring 2, then you’ll come to realize you don’t really know the story (...) ,it really does take you [the viewer] back to 1977. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Keane London Evening Standard	"'The Enfield Poltergeist' is a more intelligent, thoughtful exploration of society’s obsession with the spirit world – but it still manages to be genuinely scary"
		Benji Wilson Telegraph	"A ghost story that becomes a shaggy dog story, entrenched in devotion to its source material... (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leila Latif The Guardian	"Apple’s series reenacts events and asks questions – which fail to get below the surface (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"An appropriately scary picture of a house that seemed to either be legitimately haunted or suffering through lots of scary, unexplainable natural phenomena."
		Katie Rife IGN	"It starts out creepy, then gets repetitive, then ends on a note that doesn’t answer any of the series’ many questions, but does leave an emotional impact. (...) Rating: ★★★★★★ (out of 10)"
