In the final scene with the parents, Laraine Newman placates her son using an exaggerated alien voice. It's the same voice she used on Saturday Night Live when she played Connie in the Coneheads sketches. While heading for the sand pit to look for the missing George, the police chief remarks he hasn't been around this area since he was a kid.
In the original film, after returning from the sand pit, the father brutally slaps his son. Here, the big weird touch is that he fills his coffee cup with sweetener. Doesn't quite have the same impact.

Apr 1, 2017 · While George takes Mary to the sand pit, David dashes to the Wilson home, where he tells Mrs. Wilson that Kathy has disappeared. Mrs. Wilson is horrified, but Kathy suddenly arrives, although she, too, acts strangely.
The original's sand pit hill with the fence is duplicated in a literal sense but with none of its eerie magic. The sand pit has a full-sized functioning turntable suction device -- hire the guy who engineered that! -- yet is curiously less effective than the tiny cutaway insert in the original. The foam latex monsters fare a little bit better.
