Hereditary

Visible crew/equipment: In the last scene when Peter is in the tree house, blue tennis shoes are moving up and down. This is most likely a camera man (or woman) trying to get angles.

Suggested correction: I watched this entire scene three times and couldn't see any blue tennis shoes moving up and down. Most of the shots in the scene are close-ups of Peter's face. If the mistake is valid, then a timecode and/or a picture would be really helpful, as the scene lasts for a couple minutes.

Continuity mistake: Peter dives through the window of the attic, shattering it with shards of glass and window frame busting out and falling with him. When the camera pans down to him lying on the ground, there isn't a single shard of glass or piece of frame seen anywhere. (01:56:10)

Question: Not sure this is a movie mistake. When the mom is sawing off her own head, wouldn't the sawing have stopped once she cut through her spinal cord? The muscles in her arms/hands would have gone limp and her head would not completely fall off - though it would fall forward. You don't actually see her head fall but you hear the bang on the floor and her head is missing at the end.

Answer: There were supernatural forces at work, so basic rules of human anatomy and physics don't really apply in the situation.

Phaneron

Answer: When she's sawing off her own head, she's also suspended about 12 feet in the air. Afterwards, you also see the headless mom's body levitating up to the treehouse. So, obviously, there were powerful demonic forces that suspended her in the air, sawed off her head, then carried her up into the treehouse.
