Insidious: The Last Key picture

Continuity mistake: During Elise's flashback to when she was a teenager, she grabs her father, pushes him against the wall and makes him have a vision.

Then when he falls, he instantly lowers about a foot between cuts. Etc.

Only for him to lift his head to look out the window again a couple seconds later. (00:13:25)

The Clovehitch Killer picture

Continuity mistake: The clothes Tyler and Kassi were wearing at Kassi's house were not the same when Kassi came to dinner that day at the Burnside's house. It seems unlikely that BOTH would change clothes before dinner. (00:31:49 - 00:32:40)

Suggested correction: Apparently they did. It was probably Tyler's idea, presenting Kassi in the best possible light to assuage suspicion and maintain his image as a good Christian Boy Scout.

5th Passenger picture

Continuity mistake: As Thompson and Eve are looking from their pod to the wrecked pod they plan to salvage from, the other pod is turning showing the airlock door lining up with them. It cuts back to them and then back to the other pod, and the airlock is now back where it was turning to line up once again. It's slowly turning and they take the time to speak before jumping. When they jump, the two pods are still perfectly lined up together. But in that time the air lock on the other pod should have been facing completely the wrong direction on the other side by then. (00:39:40)

Continuity mistake: When young Tiffany is eating ice cream at a restaurant, the amount of ice cream left in the clear glass bowl increases after she eats more.

The Toybox picture

Continuity mistake: The middle curtain on the passenger side of the RV is pulled open to different extents (toward the sides) when Drake is snooping around. Depending on the camera's view, maybe a foot of the curtain can be seen to the right. The other views show much more of the curtain, indicating it is not pulled to the side as far (and might possibly be closed). When a larger amount of the curtain is showing, there is also a small section of a pleat partially on the sill. (00:04:00 - 00:04:27)
