Visible crew/equipment: When the Hargas begin taking the bodies to the temple, the scene begins with a shot of Pelle rolling Connie's body in a wheel barrow, before the camera slowly pans around to reveal other Hargas doing the same thing. Once the camera stops panning around, the dolly track can be seen to the left-hand side of the shot. (02:37:30)

Continuity mistake: When Christian takes out his phone to look up Attestupan, he is holding it with his right hand and his left index finger is lightly touching it. Then it cuts to a close-up shot of the phone and it is being held with both hands. (00:57:00)
Siv: This high my fire, but no higher, no hotter.
Question: Maybe I missed something while watching the movie. In a couple of brief scenes, they showed the severely deformed face of a woman. What was that all about?

Answer: It's actually a boy named Ruben. It's alluded to him being disfigured due to being the product of incest. In the context of the movie, Ruben is supposed to be an "oracle" who comes up with sacred scriptures, runes, etc. From what I understand, due to his deformities and cognitive disabilities, he's considered to be less "constrained" by typical mental/emotional limitations, and thus more open-minded spiritually. (Basically, they believe that because he's so simple-minded and childlike, he's open-minded enough to able to communicate with higher powers).
