Revealing mistake: In most of the shots with fast forwarding you can see that there is no synchronization between breathing movement of the stomach and the time passing by (most obvious on night #15 when Katie is standing looking at Micah who's still asleep). (00:37:50)
Revealing mistake: On night 21 the time-stamp changes from 11:59:56 PM to 11:59:57 AM despite it not having turned midnight yet.

Question: Can someone tell me if I'm interpreting this correctly? When Katie changes her mind about fleeing the house and is found clutching a cross with blood on her hand and leg, Micah takes it and burns it, after which she becomes possessed. Was she successfully warding off the demon with the cross and clutching it so desperately that it made her hand bleed, and then Micah wrongly thought it was being used to attack her and inadvertently made her possession a done deal by burning it?

Answer: The screenwriter confirms in the commentary that burning the cross and picture was a mistake because it was the last defence they had.
