Bloodless Carnage: Due to its PG-13 status. He kills all his onscreen victims via some form of oxygen deprivation.

Adaptational Villainy: The stepfather, who comes across as much more of a cold-blooded sociopath here compared to his predecessor, who was probably insane.

Bittersweet Ending: Michael, Kelly, and Susan survive David's wrath, but David gets away and is last seen charming a new family to kill. Plus, what's to say David/Grady won't tie up loose ends and eventually go after the Hardings?
