* DemotedToExtra: Father Callaway's role is much reduced compared to the original book and film. He doesn't even appear until halfway through the film, when the Lutzes have already lived in the house for several weeks. On the other hand, unlike the original movie where Father Delaney never manages to contact the Lutzes, Kathy is the one who reaches out to him and they have a few scenes together.

Like in the previous film, a family moves into a HauntedHouse residing in Amityville, and the evil within it starts messing with them.
!!This film has examples of:
* AccidentalMurder: George sees a demonic spirit lunging at him an starts whacks it down with an axe. Afterwards, he realizes that he has been killing the family dog instead.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The possessed George Lutz. The actual George was not pleased and tried to sue the filmmakers until his death.
* AnAxeToGrind: When he fails to catch his family with a shotgun and loses it, George grabs the axe.
* ArcWords: "Katch 'em. Kill 'em."
* CatapultNightmare: George sees a nightmare where he finds himself with a shotgun, which he uses to blow his brains out. He then sits up in fright as he wakes up.
* CreepyChild: [[AmbiguouslyEvil Possible]] subversion with the ghost of Jodie [=DeFeo=].
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the original movie, due to the remake's emphasis on the shock factor and [[JumpScare Jump Scares]] as well as the AdaptationalVillainy of the possessed George Lutz.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Played with, George feels cold everywhere in the house except the basement, where the evil originates.
* HearingVoices: George starts hearing disembodied that cpnstantly tell him to "katch 'em, kill 'em".
