What Lies Beneath

Revealing mistake: In an early shot shown from the neighbor's house, it is established that the Spencers' house is quite a ways uphill.

The neighbors' house looks like it's a lot closer and more level with the Spencers' home.

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.
