Continuity mistake: When the police watch the footage from the security cameras, Father Jud's mudslide is shorter than the first time we saw it in the movie, and he also turns his legs the opposite way (legs facing the woods in the original, legs towards the crypt in the footage). (01:33:45 - 01:40:00)

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Benoit Blanc goes down a flight of stairs. Behind him, a policeman is walking up the same stairs. He's almost to the top. Blanc freezes as he notices Father Jud showing up looking lost and slowly walking towards the front desk. Cutting back to Blanc after these few seconds, the policeman is exactly where we left him before in his path, hasn't moved a single step while he was not in frame. (01:41:30)

Continuity mistake: When the tub of acid drains, there’s a close-up on the skull, where you can see that the left hand of the corpse is placed on what would be its neck. In the next close-up, it appears to have moved, and when we finally see the whole body, it is lying with both arms flat alongside the torso. (01:45:30)
