Continuity: When Samantha first turns on the TV she is watching the end of a news report. The newscasters sign off and say to stay tuned for the movie just starting, she turn off the TV. Samantha had ordered a pizza right before this and is told it will be a half hour. When the pizza comes Samantha turns the TV on again and the movie showing is the last 15 or so minutes of Night Of The Living Dead. The movie playing should have been in the first half hour or so, not the end. The pizza delivery did not come two hours after ordering. See more »
