details

• Continuity: During a conversation by the fire with the Mrs. Mills, Grace's wristwatch appears, disappears and appears again.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: In the end titles, a misspelled line gives credit for "metereology".
  
  
• Continuity: During the fight between Grace and Anne in the bedroom, the lamp on the floor disappears and reappears between shots.
  
  

• Continuity: When Grace asks Anne about the "ghosts" who are running in the house, she puts her hands on Anne's head, in the next shot, Grace's hands are on the girl's neck.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Grace runs out with a shotgun, she mouths the words, "I'll shoot" but on the audio track she says "Don't Move".
  
  
• Continuity: Grace is teaching the children and tells them that they must study separately from their readers. Anne leaves to go into the music room and the door is locked but the camera stays with Nicholas in his room. He begins to read from his reader and the camera dollies around behind Nicholas and on the table you can see Anne's reader. In the next shot, Anne is in the music room with her reader.
  
  
• Continuity: Grace says the house does not have electricity. However, when Anne is standing and reciting to her mother as punishment, the table to the left of Anne has a statue of a horse on it which is clearly backlit by the white light of an electric bulb. In the following shots as Anne and Grace argue about Anne's forgiveness, the light is gone.
  
  
• Continuity: While Grace is searching for the missing curtains, Anne and Nicholas argue while Anne draws. Her drawing goes back and forth, being less complete when the camera is beside her, and more complete when it is beside Nicholas.
  
  
• Continuity: While walking in the fog, Grace's hands are very red from the cold when she puts them on her husband's neck. In the next shot they are much whiter, then back to red again.
