Audio problem: In the motel, the police are unnerved by a giant, deadly moth-creature banging against the window panes, and they open fire with everything they've got at a range of about ten feet. Strangely, we only hear gunfire sound effects when the camera is looking directly at the police officers firing their weapons. When the camera repeatedly cuts to close-ups of the window (to show the ongoing damage), there are no gunfire sound effects, even though we see and hear the window still popping and shattering under the hail of bullets. This same, awkward, delayed-gunfire sound editing occurs elsewhere throughout the film, as well.
