Godmothered picture

Continuity mistake: Jane Curtin is teaching to a rather seasoned class. One of those old hags says sarcastically "Because we really never do anything." As she says it, notice Eleanor turning towards her momentarily. She then turns completely, facing the opposite way, but at the cut she is repeating the turn from the beginning. Moreover, Moira's mouth closes after she says "Enough!" but the following shot on Curtin shows her still jaw-dropped. (00:04:05)

Don't Speak picture

Continuity mistake: When the family stopped along the road for a break, the car towing the camper was parked diagonally to the left (not aligned with the camper). The car was visible behind Alan when he was talking to Ben, but it was not when Alan was walking toward Tyler and Charlie. Also, Alan and Ben were at various distances from the camper. (00:13:16 - 00:14:20)

The Owners picture

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the blue car is parked on the far right of the screen or at least one car length from the doctor's front door. Dr. Huggins says goodbye to the couple with the baby, who walk toward their car. After the burglars-to-be (turned robbers) are shown watching from a distance, the camera returns to the doctor's front door. The blue car is now near the center of the screen and it drives away toward the right of the screen - going past the place it had been parked.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of "steam" on the inside of the Jeep's windows is inconsistent during Brock and Jenna's "make-out" scene. The front passenger side window is steamed largely in the center when Brock sees the woman trying to get his attention, but is completely covered in an instance before Jenna starts wiping it off to see outside. The driver's side window basically did the opposite - going from totally steamed to steamed only on the upper half when the "werewolf" was approaching the driver's door. (00:54:20 - 00:54:53)

Rev (2020)

Rev picture

Continuity mistake: Mikey and his friend are smoking the same inch-long joint by the back door which gets passed back and forth - no way they could keep holding/smoking it for that long given how short it was to start with. (00:04:50)

The Return picture

Continuity mistake: The direction of the desk lamp's flexible neck varies with the camera's angle.

Alone picture

Continuity mistake: The sizes, locations, and smoothness of the pieces of glass remaining in the wall mirror after Aidan smashes it with a bat change. Initially, there were a few large and several smaller jagged-edged pieces around the top and upper-half of the right side. Later, there were four relatively large smooth-edged pieces spaced around the upper half of the mirror - one in each upper corner and one on each side at the middle. (00:15:48 - 00:19:33)

Continuity mistake: The sign in the hallway (only "hole" is visible) is closer to the two light brown doors to the right before Erin's dorm room door on the left, but looks closer to Erin's door when Sproule goes to her room. The white frame on Erin's door also changes to a wider blue above Sproule's head. (00:18:32 - 00:30:53)
