* DumbBlonde: Possibly implied with Amanda. She tries dumping two entire bowls' worth of fruit scraps into the garbage disposal. Any sane person would know better; of course it would clog it up. It would've been perfectly rational and easier for her to put it in the garbage, but the movie needs it to happen, so it makes her look like a dumbass instead.

* EvilIsPetty: Really, demon lamp? You really had to roast their parrot? What purpose did that serve?
Added DiffLines:
* KickTheDog: The demon lamp roasts the parrot, apparently either because it was aware of its evil or because it was just being petty.

* PlotHole: There are of course dozens, but the most obvious one is where did the demon lamp leave the plumber's van? And how can it control objects not within its own walls? Even if it left the van in some abandoned lot somewhere, the company who deployed that plumber would know in less than a day that he went missing, would contact the cops, and since their house was the last place he was seen, they'd find him in probably only about 48-72 hours depending. What was the point of concealing that murder when the housekeeper is killed in broad daylight with no attempt to hide it and the other attacks just happen at random with no attempts to keep it under wraps?

* TherapyIsForTheWeak: Even ''before'' the killing and maiming starts, the youngest girl is showing serious signs of denial and trauma from missing her father. And yet even after the garbage disposal maims the repair boy and the housekeeper gets mysteriously killed, the mother doesn't take her daughter to a psychiatrist. She lamely says "after she gets back" from her meeting with the priest that she'll take her to a specialist, but naturally, it's painfully too late in the process. The kid should've been taken in the same day the housekeeper turned up dead.
