Death Camp picture

Continuity mistake: After the teens parked their vehicles facing an embankment (which was about twice as high as the vehicles' roofs), they walked up the hill to the diner (which wasn't visible). Somehow, one of the teens sitting in the diner was able to see James' SUV being stolen, so they ran outside and down the embankment. The vehicles should not have been visible from inside the diner plus the embankment looked different (e.g, varying heights). (00:07:26 - 00:12:24)

Jurassic Domination picture

Continuity mistake: When Private Connors got out of the front passenger side of the truck, there were no orange "cones" visible in front of the truck, but there was a toppled one after a camera shift that should have been visible earlier. Also, there was a toppled orange cone and an upright one behind the truck, which were not there when the truck was approaching that spot on the road (and would have smashed both had they been there when driving through that section of the road). (00:02:33)

Continuity mistake: Leila places Stephen's wallet in the corner of the tray, practically aligned with both sides, but the wallet is at an angle when she places his keys on the tray. (There's no indication that she bumps the tray or wallet when she sets the keys on the tray.) (01:06:20)

Sins of the Father picture

Continuity mistake: There are orange traffic cones about 3' from each side of the front bumper of Sarah's car, but they are not always visible when they should be. In the right-rear view of the car, the left cone is not visible, but the car cannot conceal it. The traffic cone is visible before Aden is walking around the front of the car, but not when he is walking to the door. The tip of a cone is visible some distance opposite the rear passenger door, but cannot be the one near the front bumper. (00:01:52 - 00:02:55)

Amityville Uprising picture

Continuity mistake: The bite marks on Doc's sandwich were inconsistent/contradictory. Doc took a corner bite out of his sandwich, then the sandwich was shown with an additional side bite mark (made off-screen?). When the sandwich was shown again, the distinctive bite marks were gone and the side of the sandwich that had been eaten was straight across. Doc was holding the sandwich in his right hand; after another camera shift, Doc was holding the sandwich in his left hand and the unique side bite mark was back. (00:18:22 - 00:18:48)

Continuity mistake: Isaac told Christine he would give Elijah his phone back and grabbed it from her. Isaac had the phone in his right hand when he turned to go out the door.

Orphan: First Kill picture

Continuity mistake: Esther (Leena) was wearing white ribbons in her hair when she went to and returned from Dr. Segar's office. When her dad took her inside to go to his studio, Esther was wearing blue ribbons in her hair and had on different clothes. Esther did tell her dad that her dress was ripped, but the flow from outside to the studio did not give the impression that they stopped somewhere in the house for Esther to change before going to the studio. (00:30:13 - 00:34:42)

The Reef: Stalked picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of wine in Annie's glass (as well as Nic's) decreases then increases without her adding any.

A little later, Annie's glass appeared to have the amount she initially had when she approached Nic. (00:13:59)

Among the Living picture

Continuity mistake: When Harry wrapped Lily's ankle injury, there was bloody wrapping below the duct tape. When Karl asked to see Lily's leg, there was no blood showing on the material below the tape. Also, Harry did not completely cover the ankle injury with duct tape like he did to keep creatures from smelling the blood on Lily's stomach cut, questioning why the creatures could not smell the blood on Lily's ankle. (00:19:55 - 00:26:50)

Continuity mistake: Before Eamon hung his jacket and hat on the nails, there were three nails close together near the right side of the board. When he was hanging his jacket and hat, there were only two nails, which appeared to have more distance between them. When the camera shifted, there were a couple nails protruding to the left of the hat. The single nail that was on the far left side of the board turned into two nails. (00:04:38)

Continuity mistake: Solomon put the rope around his waist underneath his coat, but when he was walking through the woods the rope was tied over his coat.
