Revealing mistake: When Laura falls in the bathtub, a stunt is doing the fall, because her hair colour and style changes.
The Orphanage (2007)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: J.A. Bayona
Starring: Belen Rueda, Mabel Rivera, Fernando Cayo, Roger Princep
Continuity mistake: When the medium leaves the bedroom following the first countdown, she turns right out of the room, but then 'backtracks' on herself, passing the room she had just left (you can see the chair she was sitting on in the background). However, Enrique, on his house plan, marks her walking in the direction she first took (right) and not as if she had turned left out of the room.
Aurora: Seeing is not believing. It's the other way around. Believe, and you will see.
Question: Was the child with the sack over his head, who attacked the mother and locked her in the bathroom, Simon or one of the children (ghosts)?

Answer: It was Simon. He had found the mask in Thomas' little house and attacked her while wearing it because he was angry she had fought with him. We know it is him as the boy in the mask is wearing Simon's shoes, and later on when Simon is found he is wearing the mask.
