!!This film contains examples of:
* [[spoiler:AllJustADream]]: [[spoiler:Sarah was abused as a child. The film is about her taking revenge on her abuser and, to a lesser degree, on the one who knew but said nothing.]]
* ChekhovsArmory: Almost all of the implements of violence show up in the film prior to their use.
* ClosedCircle: The house is isolated in the country. The landlines haven't been hooked up. There's no cell coverage. The electricity hasn't been hooked up. The windows are boarded up with plywood. Most of the doors are locked with either padlocks or are older ones that require a key to unlock it from inside.
* DropTheHammer: The sledgehammer introduced early in the movie [[spoiler:shows up in later scenes including Sarah using it to murder her father]].
* FanDisservice: While Sarah's cleavage is shown frequently, it's generally marred by the blood and the situation [[spoiler:such as when the camera has a direct shot down her shirt, but only because she's leaning over her father's body]].
* HauntedHouse: By all appearances, the eponymous house, including mysterious apparitions and bleeding walls.
* HollywoodDarkness: Largely averted. When all of the lights are out, the audience can barely see anything.
* JitterCam: Used almost universally throughout the movie.
* [[spoiler:TheKillerInMe]]
* TheOner: Unlike the film it is a remake of, it is not a single continuous shot. However, it is composed of only a handful of continuous takes.

* TwistEnding: [[spoiler:Sarah is the killer all along]]
