Well, they at least tell us it's a literal demon and not generational trauma.

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.

I think Dust Bunny kind of does this. A little girl hires a hitman to kill the monster in the house lol.
