Yorkshire, 1974, the Maynard family moves into their dream house. It's a dream that quickly descends into a panic stricken nightmare as the family discovers a horrifying truth, a truth that will make the history books. The house is already occupied by the most violent poltergeist ever documented, a poltergeist that will tear you from your bed as you sleep and drag you helplessly into the darkness.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Pritchard family consulted on set, then publicly denounced the film for sensationalism. Awkward.
The Black Monk case remains Britain's most documented poltergeist haunting—this film barely scratches the alleged 12 years of terror.
