details

• Continuity: The Cadillac funeral cars in procession at the beginning of the film are various model years. In the next scene when they pull up in front of the house they are all the same year.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: As Annabelle is lowered after her hanging, the supporting rope is slack and obviously not bearing her weight.
  
  
• Continuity: When Annabelle gives Frederick her gun, he places it in the mini-coffin and closes the coffin. However, in one of the next shots, we see that all coffins are open.
  
  

• Continuity: Lance locks his door from the inside with a deadbolt after the Doctor calls everybody to the meeting, and leaves through Nora's door. When they return from the meeting he opens his own, unlocked, door from the outside.
  
  
• Continuity: The size of the acid 'pit' in the cellar changes sizes repeatedly.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After Nora throws everyone out of her room and the others are talking in the hall, someone's hand comes into the shot in the lower left corner of the screen.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Nora brings everyone to the cellar when Lance gets locked in the room you see Mr. Loren light a candle when he goes to enter, but the room itself lights up before he even enters the room.
  
  

• Miscellaneous: SPOILER: The skeleton emerges from the acid unscathed, yet Loren drops it back in in order to destroy the evidence of his crime.
