Cabin Fever (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Marcy and Paul are talking about their hopeless situation "being like being on a plane that's going down" you can see a small wall hanging to the left of the glass panel door in the background. Also, the shadows from the hanging and door frame cast left, away from the door. Later, when they have sex in the same bedroom, the wall hanging is on the right side of the door and now its shadow casts towards the door. It's definitely not the opposite wall of the room, as this is shown earlier and has a wood-plank door, a much larger painting mounted on it and unlike the wall shown in these scenes, it isn't wallpapered.

Cabin Fever (2002)

Deliberate mistake: The sex scene between Paul and Marcy is broken up with a shot of Karen dying alone in the toolshed. The shot is well-lit, but we saw Marcy closing the door when she put Karen back in the shed, leaving the shed virtually pitch dark. So where is the light coming from? (01:02:35)

Cabin Fever (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Paul and Marcy start having sex, Marcy's hair is running down her back. Paul asks Marcy about whether they should use a condom. Cut to a close-up of her face for her reply and her hair is suddenly hanging over the far side of her face. Cut back to the original angle and her hair is running down her back again. (01:02:30)

Cabin Fever (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Marcy first runs out of the cabin, just before she dies, her chest is clean. But in the few seconds it takes her to run to the nearby toolshed, somehow her chest gets covered in splotches of blood. (01:10:45)

Cabin Fever (2002)

Revealing mistake: When Marcy and Jeff are having sex, at one point Marcy rolls over on top of Jeff. When she does this, there's a couple of instances where you can see a red cord from the bikini bottom she's wearing to preserve her modesty dangling down in the background. (00:14:05)

Cabin Fever (2002)

Revealing mistake: As Marcy is running away from the mad dog, there are a few instances when we can see the sleeve of a white top inside her bathrobe. She was supposed to have just run out of the shower in a panic, so throwing on a top and then a bathrobe doesn't seem like something she really would've done. (01:10:55)

Cabin Fever (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Paul squeezes Marcy's back during sex, his fingers are pointed more inwards towards her spine then upwards towards her shoulders. The hand-shaped rashes Marcy notices in the bathroom immediately afterwards reflect this position, also. But as the rashes deteriorate, the finger marks shift into positions that are completely different to the way Paul was holding her. (01:02:35 - 01:10:30)
