Factual error: The kids take shelter in a truck and whilst the monster is distracted they release the brakes and it starts rolling down a hill. The brakes would have been seized up due to lack of use so the kids wouldn't have been able to release them in the first place.

Suggested correction: Even if the brakes had seized, it's possible that the force exerted by the truck on the incline would "snap" them free. That's what happened.

Plot hole: So the monsters must be blind because they cannot see the people, and yet they seem to know where objects are, so they can grab them or avoid them. If they use some type of sonar then they would be able to locate people as well.

Suggested correction: This is an assumption. It's not explained how the creatures sense their environment. Just because something isn't explained, it doesn't make it a plot hole.

Mistakes

Factual error: Emily Blunt takes her blood pressure manually, pumping up a cuff but not listening to her pulse with a stethoscope to get the reading. Not possible without a new style automatic BP machine which would have made noise.

Suggested correction: This is simply not true. The style of BP monitor that she uses is the way all BP monitors used to work.

The way you use a manual BP cuff is by listening to your pulse with a stethoscope while you pressurize the cuff. Your top number is the pressure you hear your pulse stop, and the bottom number is the pressure where you hear it pick up again.

Suggested correction: It is possible to read the pressure by such a machine as shown in the movie after some practice. The needle or the indicating hand slightly skips when it reaches the read pressure range.

That's inaccurate. The pressure at which the gauge jumps is often different than the pressure at which the first Korsakoff sound is heard.

Suggested correction: You can watch the needle bounce with the pulse on any sphygmomanometer - not as accurate as with a stethoscope but would work just fine.

Trivia

Trivia: At one point early in production, the film was going to be slightly retooled in order to make it the third entry in the "Cloverfield" franchise, following "Cloverfield" and "10 Cloverfield Lane." Eventually, this idea was dropped, and the movie was left as a stand-alone film.

Questions

Question: How did they climb the grain silo without making noise? Why did the silo door come off its hinges?

Answer: 1. Quietly. 2. The hinges weren't able to support the weight of the swinging door that was meant to open outward.
