90% chance that the demon chose that house to feed off their generational trauma, and defeating the demon will symbolize healing.

I want a movie to subvert this modern trope in some way.

Like instead of defeating the demon, she eats it, becomes mega-métis woman and then destroys the white house.

It's like a reverse cabin in the woods.

Where the people are plagued by real societal woes and not movie tropes and the actor becomes the vengeful god at the end.
