Trivia
Rosemarie DeWitt wanted to do the film, after she experienced the engaged and lively audience reaction at the premiere of The Conjuring (2013), which she attended because it featured her husband Ron Livingston.

Goofs
(at around 57 mins) In one of the scenes the downstairs TV is seen falling over. Just afterwards the TV is straight back up without a scratch on it.

Quotes
Madison Bowen: They're here.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: A scene is shown halfway through the end credits: Carrigan Burke is filming a new episode of his show. Dr. Powell (wearing the same glasses Tangina wore in the original trilogy) is his new co-host. He gets mad at her for messing up her line.

Alternate versions
The U.S. Blu-ray release includes an "Extended Cut" that runs 7 minutes longer than the Theatrical Cut, which is also on the Blu-ray.

That boy just can't act! Poor remake.

Poor remake. Zero real scares. Nonsensical reactions from the family. The young boy just can't act ....or was badly directed. Just widening the eyes a little and walking everywhere tentatively in slow motion steps isn't convincing anyone. He walks through most of the movie like this and it became really annoying very quickly.

People see the most shocking things and then don't even mention it!?

Whomever wrote the script should be ashamed of themselves. Truly terrible. Totally unbelievable characters and reactions. Plot holes and stupid dialogue.

Watch the original.

One plus. The 3D was great fun. (If a little forces at times) Blatant cash in that fell flat on its face.
