Afterschool

Factual error: Near the end of the movie, a front view of the overdosing/overdosed twins shows Robert putting the dying twin's head on his lap. A close-up of the dead twin shows blood covering most of the left side of her face and a blue tinge on most of the right side, apparently meant to indicate developing livor mortis (bluish color after death). This twin just died, so it is too early for livor mortis to be visible. Livor mortis is not visible to humans until about two hours after death, but the process does begin sooner (about 20-30 minutes after death). Moreover, the writer failed to show the first stage of death - pallor mortis. The twins were Caucasians with blonde hair, so the dead twin would first turn pale (from blood draining from veins in the skin) about 15 minutes after death. The sudden oozing of blood from the dead twin's forehead was also not an accurate portrayal - she was dead, so her heart no longer pumped blood (so gravity takes over, draining blood). (01:39:58)
