Revealing mistake: While Roger is in the bathroom he hears banging, and when he opens the door he sees the gardening tools poised to attack, and in the shot from the bedroom facing Roger, we can see the stunt wires attached to the hedge shears as it hovers in front of the door's wood casing.

Revealing mistake: About 27 or 28 minutes into the film, right before the giant creature flies out at Roger through the doorway, you can see the wall (part of a film set) "wobble" for about a half second as Roger opens the door.
