Factual error: The young priest sees images of a red-eyed horse, but later, it is referred to as a mule, which looks much more like a donkey.
The Rite (2011)
Directed by: Mikael Hafstrom
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Ciaran Hinds, Alice Braga, Colin O'Donoghue
Factual error: The tracks of the red-eyed horse in the snow are not tracks that could be made by a horse. A biped (a human) made the imprints in the snow.
