For the 360-degree rotating shot of the family eating breakfast at the kitchen table, a hole was cut in the center of the table so that a periscope lens could be stuck through it. Cinematographer Thomas L. Callaway sat under the table, surrounded by the actors' legs, and manually rotated it as he shot, becoming tangled in wires as he did so. He was only able to shoot two or three takes.
Contrary to some plot summaries, director/producer Steve White says the movie is not meant to take place on the grounds of the original house in Amityville. The only connection is that the dollhouse replica of the house had presumably been in the home in Amityville at some point, and was infested with its evil, though he admits this was not explained in the film itself.
Although there are various "easter eggs" referencing earlier Amityville films, and the design of the dollhouse is based on the house from The Amityville Horror (1979), this movie has no apparent story connection to any of the other movies or the actual town of Amityville. In fact, the word "Amityville" is not said once in the entire movie.
The budget for the film was meant to be $1 million, but production ultimately went over-budget. As a result, Steve White forfeited his director's fee.
