Deep Blue Sea 2 picture

Other mistake: A female bull shark has between 1-13 pups. The exact number in the movie is questionable (due to their speed), but appeared to be well over the maximum 13 and perhaps closer to double this amount. Classified as "other" instead of "factual" mistake because the mother shark's DNA was altered, which could possibly explain a higher number of pups per pregnancy. (01:03:20 - 01:06:40)

The Toybox picture

Continuity mistake: The middle curtain on the passenger side of the RV is pulled open to different extents (toward the sides) when Drake is snooping around. Depending on the camera's view, maybe a foot of the curtain can be seen to the right. The other views show much more of the curtain, indicating it is not pulled to the side as far (and might possibly be closed). When a larger amount of the curtain is showing, there is also a small section of a pleat partially on the sill. (00:04:00 - 00:04:27)

The Cloverfield Paradox picture

Continuity mistake: In the car at the start, when Hamilton says it's like the fourth blackout today, Michael corrects her and says it's the fifth. When he says this, he is leaning forwards some as he looks up out the windshield with his mouth partly open. It cuts to a different angle and suddenly he's leaned back in his seat fully and his mouth closed. (00:01:30)

The Amityville Murders picture

Continuity mistake: When Butch is talking to Dawn in his room, he puts on his headphones and begins talking to some unknown being and seems to be in a trance. His head is resting flat on his pillow as he grabs Dawn's arm. Just after she pulls away, Butch's hand is in the position as if he was still holding her. However his head is now resting up on the headboard. He couldn't have propped himself up with his hand in that position, especially in the matter of a few seconds. (00:40:40)

Slender Man picture

Continuity mistake: In the basement when the girls are talking, one mentions to Chloe that she and Carl would make an adorable couple. Chloe's left arm is stretched up above her head in this shot. But in the next shot when she corrects her on the guy's name, it's suddenly down by her lap. (00:06:10)

Lords of Chaos picture

Other mistake: During the murder in the stairwell, an old woman opens her apartment door outward, and Varg kicks it shut. Apartment doors always open inward, as did Euronymous' apartment in the same building.

Suggested correction: Euronymous' apartment door opens outward into the hallway, at least in the final scene it does when he's trying to get away from Varg.

Bloodline picture

Continuity mistake: The level of water in the detective's glass fluctuates a few times from about half-empty (front views) to two-thirds full (side views). The angle of the water pitcher also changes but no-one is touching it. (01:09:28)

The Dark picture

Factual error: The police officer that shows up does two stupid things in a row that real police would never do. When investigating a kidnapping, he calls in what the car was they were looking for. Which he sees. Instead of calling for back up, or even mentioning to dispatch that he found a car that looks like it, after coming from a murder scene at a gas station and following a map left behind to this spot, he approaches the car alone, without calling for back up, or drawing his weapon. Shortly thereafter, he finds the kidnapped boy inside the car, who tells him the man who took him is in the house. The officer then proceeds to go into the house alone to look for a dangerous kidnapper without waiting for backup, even mentioning to the kid that his partner is on the way. (00:32:00 - 00:33:35)

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the protagonists dump the corpse of an agent in the middle of nowhere. The guy is stone cold dead...but you can see the carotid pulse on the right side of his neck, under the fake blood. (00:03:10)
