The only time we get a good look at the picture that is smashed and clawed is when the two run up and down the hallway during the night to get away from the demon. The demon's daytime attack is completely absent. He says he lost a large sum of money playing the stock market earlier, and that he'll be taking a break for awhile. She says she's failing her university course and won't pass unless she 'does something drastic' on her midterm. There's some added dialogue between Katie and Micah where they discuss how the stress is negatively affecting their lives. The knocking is much faster and louder in the Theatrical Cut.

The night when the demon plays the door games with Katie and Micah (opening and slamming it shut, knocking furiously) has been re-dubbed, as well. There seem to be at least two added 'shadow' effects - another on the bedroom door, and a silhouette in the hallway - in the Director's Cut, whereas the Theatrical Cut only has one shadow used. All of these scenes are much, much louder/noticeable in theaters for jump scares.

A lot of the demon noises - the loud growl followed by the bang, the footsteps, even the shadows that appear on the bedroom doors - were completely re-dubbed and retouched. There is only one instance of the demon whispering in the Theatrical Cut there are at least three in the Director's Cut, all of which are heard in the bedroom at night. The low frequency tone that occurs when the demon is present is not quite as loud in the Director's cut. There is a scene in the Theatrical Cut not present in the Director's Cut that takes place early on, where Katie and Micah wake up and find her keys thrown from the kitchen counter to the floor. The Director's Cut, comprised of the unedited film with three possible endings, has several differences: The version that was released in theaters is the cut supervised by Steven Spielberg.
