Character mistake: Claire's behavior makes no sense and is intirely implausible and unrealistic. For example: Whenever Claire talks about the ghost, she never mentions any of her compelling observations. When she tells Norman about the seance, she incorrectly says that nothing happened. Claire wakes Norman up to look at the Feur driveway after the apparent body-bag is already in the closed trunk. What did she want him to observe? A car? An empty driveway?
What Lies Beneath (2000)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Starring: Amber Valletta, Diana Scarwid, Harrison Ford, James Remar, Joe Morton, Katharine Towne, Michelle Pfeiffer, Miranda Otto
Continuity mistake: When Harrison Ford is watching his wife laying in the bathtub ready to drown, the camera shoots her head several times between cutaways to Ford and the running water. Watch her head relative to the top of the tub in the various shots. In some her head is much higher than in others yet her body never moves.
Claire Spencer: That girl must be brought up.
Trivia: Right at the end, in fact the very last frame, you can see a face in the snow as the shot fades out.
