    • Trivia
      Ryan Reynolds chose not to become close with his on-screen children. He was not mean or rude to them, just very distant. So distant in fact that the children often confided to those on the set that "Ryan doesn't like us!" Reynolds said that he did not want to "fall in love" with the kids. He did this so that when George Lutz started changing, he would have no trouble easing into the verbal and physical abuse.
    • Goofs
      On the wall of Billy's bedroom, there is a Whitesnake poster. The band Whitesnake wasn't formed until 1978, 3 years after the film's setting.
    • Quotes

      Father Callaway: You know the doll with one eye that your daughter is holding?

      Kathy Lutz: Yes, well...

      Father Callaway: Well, that belonged to the little girl who lived here before you.

      Kathy Lutz: Yes, it was left here.

      Father Callaway: No, Mrs. Lutz, it was not left here.

      Kathy Lutz: Father, what exactly are you trying to tell me?

      Father Callaway: I knew the DeFeo's very well. I presided over their funeral. Jodie DeFeo was buried with that doll.

    Creepiest thing is the sexy babysitter

    The Lutz family (Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Jesse James, Jimmy Bennett, Chloë Grace Moretz) finds a big house for a surprising price. The reason for the low price is a grisly murder suicide in its history. When the family moves in, strange things start happening.

    The biggest mistake is using the wrong POV. Ryan Reynolds shouldn't be the one to lead the movie. Melissa George should be the lead. She can be afraid of Reynolds. She can be conflicted about the new man as a father for her children. There are all kinds of avenues this could have taken.

    The creepiest thing that happened is the super sexy babysitter (Rachel Nichols) for the kids. Would any parents really just walk off without a second look when the babysitter is dressed like that? And it gets super awkward with the sex talk.
