Deliberate mistake: When Douglas' fingers are chopped off, they are hit from the right side by the blade, but they inexplicably fly directly forward (instead of to the left as they shoot), somersaulting smoothly through the air in a clean, uniform manner. Obviously done for the sake of the 3D effects in the film as they fly directly towards camera, but completely defying the laws of physics.
Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: M.J. Bassett, Michael J. Bassett

Continuity mistake: In the first movie the "Welcome to Silent Hill" sign is on the right. In this movie it's on the left.
Rose Da Silva: Farewell my love.
Trivia: Sean Bean, who appears as Harry/Christopher, is notorious for having "died" onscreen in many of his roles. (He is currently one of the top 5 actors who have had the most on-screen deaths) While his character does indeed survive the film, he is briefly seen dying in a dream-sequence, making this film technically count as a film in which he both dies onscreen, but also a film he survives.
Question: Towards the end of the film, Heather steals the Seal from inside of Leonard, and we see him burn up. But the shot goes noticeably out of focus when this happens. What gives? The scene appears to be CG, so it makes no sense for it to go so badly out of focus. Were they just trying to cover up a dodgy effect?

Answer: I believe your theory is correct, it appears to go out of focus to help cover up some unconvincing CGI. The final explosion looks very cartoonish.
