Pay the Ghost

Character mistake: Talking with the priestess, Nicholas Cage says that "two days ago" he started seeing his son and hearing his voice. It started 3 days ago, not two. (01:08:20)

Character mistake: The Latino girl who disappeared and whose dad is a junkie now, disappeared "two years ago" when Mike mentions her to his wife, and "two years before Charlie" when he talks to the detective (that would be 3 years ago, then). (00:46:20 - 00:48:40)

Deliberate mistake: In the opening, the kids are looking up at the floor boards. Uniform light seeps through, but as it turns out, the house was small and swarming with an angry mob carrying torch. The light is not really compatible with that scenario, and in fact when the scene is shown later again, the lights are warmer and you can see the torches flickering. It's most likely a trick not to give away exactly what was hunting the kids in the basement. (00:01:00 - 01:11:20)
