Character mistake: In one scene during a rescue attempt for Carrie, Mr. Loudy says to Charles, "It will be dark soon." However, after an immediate camera angle change, it's revealed to be not just broad daylight but, looking at everyone's shadows, it's mid-day (around noon). There will be many hours of daylight left, so Loudy was way off with this comment.
