The Woman in Black

Revealing mistake: When Mr Kipps comes back in into the house after seeing the ghosts of the children in the front garden, he looks down and sees footprints. The error is the footprints are far too uniform and equally spaced at regular intervals to look natural. It looks as though a template has been used to print them on the floor. (00:59:45 - 01:00:20)

Revealing mistake: When Arthur goes into the marsh to bring Nathaniel's corpse up, each time he emerges to get air, you can see the lack of mud around his lips from an air mask.

Mistakes

Factual error: In the scene where Arthur first enters the house and starts going through paperwork, there's a shot of Nathaniel Drablow's death certificate which shows 'body was not recovered' in the box next to his cause of death. Such a thing would not be written on death certificates of the time - that box is reserved for 'Signature, description and residence of informant', a heading which can partially be seen as the camera pans across the certificate. For the death to have been registered, an informant's signature would have to have been there. (00:20:05)
