The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Plot hole: The only reason the movie takes place is because the news station that Mrs. Mott watches names Claire as the woman who filled the lawsuit against Mr. Mott. It is completely illegal for broadcasters to name or show a picture of a sexually assaulted victim.

Factual error: The glass shattering and falling in the greenhouse would have been unlikely to kill Marlene, let alone even cause that much damage to her, as the glass would have very little to no time to gain more force, falling at that low of a height. And if Marlene were to be killed, she would have probably bled out over time, as opposed to almost instantly dying as the film implies.

Question: If nobody was home when Claire got unconcsious then who called the ambulance when Peyton was outside with Joey?

Answer: Claire had called 911 but she couldn't talk. I'm sure their city had enhanced 911 coverage so they knew where the call was coming from and sent paramedics.
