Continuity mistake: When Pelle is talking to Dani after the two elders jump off the cliff, when he takes something out of his pocket for her to smell, there are two strings hanging freely from his collar. In the next shot, the two strings are tied together. (01:22:10)
Continuity mistake: When Siv is trying to explain to Simon and Connie how the two elders sacrificing themselves works, just as Siv says what they just saw was a long observed custom, Simon has his left hand on his hand and Connie is standing behind Siv with her left hand over her mouth. The camera changes angles and Simon has both hands on his face - Connie has rotated 90° and has both arms at her side. (01:13:30)
Continuity mistake: When the male elder is lying on the ground after jumping off the cliff, there is nothing on the ground around his head. When he realises that his leg has broken off and the Hårgas start wailing, there is an additional shot included in the Director's Cut where a rock has suddenly appeared beside the man's head. (Director's Cut). (01:11:40)
Continuity mistake: When the male elder steps onto the edge of the cliff before jumping, there is a a shot of Dani, Christian and Josh where their shadows are behind them. It then cuts to the elder for a few seconds, but when it cuts back, their shadows are in front of them. (01:11:15)
Continuity mistake: When Dani is looking at Simon and Connie complaining to Ingemar after the female elder jumps off the cliff and they turn back to face towards it, Christian says "Oh my God" realising the male elder is about to jump off. At this moment, he has his left hand over his mouth and his right hand by his side. The shot then cuts and Christian now has his right hand over his mouth and his left hand on his chest. (01:10:55)
Continuity mistake: When the female elder is standing at the edge of the cliff, in an overview shot of the Hårgas, Dani, Christian, Josh and Pelle's shadows are in front of them. A couple seconds later, when the camera is slightly panning down on the four, their shadows are to the right of them. (01:08:55)
Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the Hårgas looking up at the cliff, when the camera pans over to Dani, Christian, Pelle and Josh, Pelle is standing a couple of feet away from the other three. When the camera changes angles to the cliff, Pelle is standing right next to the other three. (01:05:55)
Continuity mistake: When Pelle is explaining how the Hårgas roles work depending on their age, as he says "And finally from 54 to 72, you become a mentor", Christian is behind Pelle facing towards him. The shot changes angles, Christian's body is in a different direction and then turns his head to face Pelle. The shot changes angles again and Christian is now suddenly looking upwards. (00:53:30)
Continuity mistake: In the first meal scene, when Josh asks Pelle for a translation of what the Hårga was singing and Christian asks for one as well, Dani is shown eating out of a bowl and holding a fork, then lowers the bowl and fork as Christian says "Yeah, thanks. That would be amazing." It then cuts to a different angle, where Dani suddenly has food on the fork and the bowl is raised again. (Director's Cut). (00:47:25)
Continuity mistake: When Ingemar shows everyone the mushrooms and Mark goes to reach for them, Pelle is scratching his head and begins to lower his arm. The camera changes angles and his arms are suddenly folded. (00:30:38)
Continuity mistake: When Pelle and Ingemar first reunite in Halsingland, the shadows they cast on the ground are small and light and positioned directly in front of them. Later in the scene, when Mark takes the mushrooms from Ingemar, the shadows are now more deeper and positioned more to a 2 o'clock direction. (00:29:50 - 00:30:40)
Continuity mistake: When the group are in the car driving through Sweden, after Mark asks what is it that makes the women hotter, it cuts to Dani and Christian is shown sitting next to her. His arm is positioned so that his wrist is touching her shoulder. The camera changes angles and his arm is suddenly pulled away from her. (00:25:30)
Continuity mistake: When Dani is speaking to Pelle before the trip to Sweden, she is shown wearing a hoodie that is zipped open slightly. The left side of the hoodie is opened out revealing some white stitching along the interior of the zipper. She then moves to the couch that Pelle is sitting on and the right side of the hoodie is now opened out. (00:23:10)
Continuity mistake: When Dani and Christian are at her apartment after returning from the party, Christian sits down on the couch with her and places his hand on his head in a position where his knuckle is touching his head. It then cuts to Christian saying "It's fine", and it is now his fingers touching his head. (Director's Cut). (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: When Christian is trying to explain when they will be going on the trip to Sweden to Dani, as he says "I'm probably not gonna go", Mark is holding a bottle upright. The camera changes angles and the bottle he is holding is suddenly titled forwards slightly. (00:14:45)
Continuity mistake: At the party, when talking about the trip to Sweden, just after Mark says Pelle's invited them to an authentic hippie midsummer at his yodelling farm, it cuts to Dani asking "Oh, yeah." To the right of shot, Mark is shown holding a bottle with part of the label slightly uncovered, while the rest is covered by his hand. Two shots after, in a shot of the whole group, Mark's hand is now entirely covering the label. (00:14:20)
Other mistake: When Dani is looking at the email her sister sent her, there are three replies from Dani shown below it. The first email is listed as being sent 1 hour ago, the second was sent 42 minutes ago and the third was sent 19 minutes ago. Dani then goes on her phone and the time shown on it is 10:17PM. Later in the scene, she starts writing a fourth email to her, and the second and third email are still shown as being sent 42 minutes ago and 19 minutes ago. She then receives a call from an unknown caller and the time shown on her phone is 10:48PM, but the amount of time shown from how long ago the emails were sent hasn't changed. (00:02:55 - 00:07:05)
Other mistake: When Dani is on her phone after trying to contact her parents, the phone is shown on the Recents page listing the most recent calls she has made. The most recent call listed is Home, where she just called and left a message. Then it is followed by Terri, then Mom, then Christian, then Dad. Each of the calls are shown to have been made 1 minute ago. The message she left after calling the house phone lasted about 45 seconds. Then after the call, she looked back at her email for a few moments before going back to her phone. No way could four additional calls have been made all within the span of one minute and still leave a message on the house phone. (00:03:15)
Continuity mistake: When Josh asks Pelle if he's not talking about an actual Attestupan before going to bed, Christian looks over to him asking him if he knows what it is. The duvet on Josh's bed is going over the edge of the bed. Dani then asks "Is it scary", and when the shot cuts back to Josh, the duvet is entirely on the bed. (00:57:10)
Continuity mistake: When Pelle tells everyone tomorrow will be the first of the ceremonies, Christian asks "what's that" after Pelle tells them it will be Attestupan. The time on Christian's watch is around 1:48 when he asks this. Christian then takes out his phone and the time on it is 11:55. (00:56:55)
Answer: After having chosen Christian to be sacrificed, Dani's slight, wry smile at the end indicates that she has accepted the cult and is now a willing member.
