Pay the Ghost

Revealing mistake: When Nicolas Cage drops the possessed camcorder, he does it putting it on a newspaper. The movie is set in New York but the newspaper has an article talking about the Mackenzie Valley, in Canada, and of course it is where the movie was shot. In fact, you can identify the paper as the Toronto Star, Sunday September 28 edition, so also outside the proposed timeframe. (00:41:50)

Deliberate mistake: In the opening, the kids are looking up at the floor boards. Uniform light seeps through, but as it turns out, the house was small and swarming with an angry mob carrying torch. The light is not really compatible with that scenario, and in fact when the scene is shown later again, the lights are warmer and you can see the torches flickering. It's most likely a trick not to give away exactly what was hunting the kids in the basement. (00:01:00 - 01:11:20)
