Mistakes

When Henry attacks Connie for coming into his room and Mark steps in to stop him, they start fighting and Connie runs downstairs to tell on them. As the shot alternates back and forth, Henry's right hand jumps from Mark's ear to grabbing a handful of his hair and then back down again, but we don't see either boy move in a way that would explain the switch.

Trivia

The photo of Henry's dead brother Richard, is that of Macaulay Culkin's other real life sibling Rory (last seen in the movie Signs). Looks like Dad was trying to rope in the whole family. See more...

After Macaulay drops the "highway man" a large wreck ensues. When he and Elijah get home their is coverage of the wreck that appears on the news. In this coverage there is no mention of the dummy being thrown from the bridge as the cause of the accident. [Exactly. The "news" only reports what has been made public. Surely after an accident of this magnitude, there would have been a police investigation. Police do not regularly give all information out via the news, as it would compromise the ongoing investigation. Of course they may not even know a dummy was involved at that point.]

At the end, when Mark is locked in the room, he doesn't have his jacket on. After he breaks the glass and his uncle and the doctor run in he's in such a hurry to run out of the house before they get him. When we see Mark outside he has his jacket on. There was no way he could have had time to stop, get his jacket, and put it on. [This was explained in a deleted sceen. His coat was lying somewhere and he ran picked it up and put it on while running.]

When Henry throws the rubber ducky down the well, there is a brief shot from inside well. You can see that is not Henry (Macaulay Culkin). [I looked and yes that actually looks as much like Henry as you're going to get from that distance.]

In the scene where the three kids are playing hide and go seek, the lights are thrown off by the main switch. However, when they run into one of the rooms there is a digital clock displaying the time. [There is a place for batteries under most digital clocks, specifically for when there is a power failure. ]
