Revealing mistake: In the first part of the movie when the dad finds the house in the woods after the car accident, he walks through the door with his daughters in the snow, and just before entering we can see he walks on a fake snow carpet.
Mama (2013)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Andy Muschietti, Andres Muschietti
Starring: Jessica Chastain, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Isabelle Nelisse, Megan Charpentier
Genres: Horror
Other mistake: Right after the two girls have been taken in by Lucas and Annabelle, there is a scene where the girls are asleep. Lucas turns off a lamp and Annabelle turns off the overhead light switch; the room goes to complete darkness. However, when the camera pans back to the bed, there are two lamps/nightlights on in the room which would've provided light in the room even after Lucas and Annabelle turned off their lights.
Question: How did the girls survive for five whole years in an abandoned house in the woods? Did Mama help them to survive by giving them things to eat like cherries?
Answer: Yes, Mama kept them alive. We see a wild apple rolling across to the floor to the huddled girls, implying that Mama gave it to them, and would have continued to give them forest fruits. She undoubtedly also showed them where to find water.

Answer: I'm pretty sure that they ate cherries because of all the pits shown when the two men enter the house. They probably ate other things as well because Lily is shown eating a moth in one scene.
