The Haunting (1999)

Corrected entry: When Theo and Nell are taken into their room for the first time Theo does a front flip onto her bed, but lands facing backward.

Correction: This is what I thought at first, when I watched it normally. But if you watch in slow-motion, you can see in the wide-shot she flips and then starts to fall facing backwards. Then it cuts to a closeup of he landing on her back. It's just that she does the flip so quickly, and the angle cuts instantly, it's hard to spot.

The Haunting (1999)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Luke, Theo, Nell and Dr. Marrow are attempting to escape Hill House, Luke runs to borrow Nell's car in order to ram the gates. In a subsequent shot, a rather large SUV is also parked within the gates; why choose the lighter, less-powerful vehicle?

Correction: This is a character's decision - not a movie mistake.

The Haunting (1999)

Corrected entry: When Dr Marrow goes to rescue Nell to the top of the spiral stairs, at the end of the scene, they leave the greenhouse through a door on top of the stairs. It would have been much easier for him to go rescue her from the top, while Theo and Luke talked to her as a diversion to avoid her from throwing herself off.

Correction: This is a character's decision, not a movie mistake. Anyway, Dr. Marrow did not know that the house would unscrew the bolts and untwine the wires holding the metal staircase in order to kill him, so he probably thought climbing the staircase would be easier.
