The overall story is about the same one that every single horror movie uses. Family moves into new house, and crazy paranormal stuff goes down. Except in this case, it all starts happening immediately after they start to move in, so there's no real waiting period.

Some of the acting from the kid playing David is pretty bad, mainly when he's pretending to be 'scared' at the beginning of the episode. The adults are all varying levels of okay, but some of them aren't much better.

But the acting probably isn't the main draw for a lot of people. This is the same story and family from the infamous "Devil Made Me Do It" murder case in 1981. Arne Johnson killed his landlord with a pocket knife when they got into a violent argument while intoxicated, and then claimed that he did it because he was possessed. However, unfortunately for anyone looking for anything about that case in this episode, it's not even mentioned. There's a brief thing where Arne gets possessed and becomes violent, but that's earlier on in the story.

Overall, it's not a bad episode, but there are some issues with cheesy and clunky acting.

I used to watch this show a lot on destination america when I was 10. My parents were very strict on what I could watch so they put parental controls on my cable so I could only watch shows that were tv g to pg, and since this show was tv pg I was able to watch it. I remember seeing this episode around that time and this episode used to scare me back then. Most of this episode never scared me until the part where the exorcist performs an exorcism on the boy who got possessed while cleaning his sister's rental house. The kid's demonic screaming scared me to death and when the kid stopped breathing after the exorcism and everyone thought he was dead, the tv cutted off because of a power outage and 10 year old me thought this exorcist guy literally murder a kid all because he had demons in him. This episode gave me nightmares for weeks until I finally got to watch the rest of that episode on demand and find out that the kid didn't die and everything was happily ever after. Rewatching this episode 9 years later at the age of 19 and i realized this show wasn't scary at all. It reminds me of 90s goosebumps on fox kids/are you afraid of the dark levels of scary. The kid's demonic screaming during the exorcism sounds so familiar to the zombies from call of duty that it made me laugh.
