Corrected entry: When Mia is first possessed she manages to walk around and shoot at her brother while drugged up on enough tranquillizer to 'put a horse to sleep', but at the end of the film it only takes one shot of the tranquillizer to knock her out for long enough for him to not only bury her, but give his teacher friend a fond farewell too.

Correction: It was a huge dose of tranquilizer she was given at the end; the line about putting a horse to sleep was pure hyperbole. The fact that it was delivered in a single shot is irrelevant given the sheer size of the syringe's barrel.

Phixius

Corrected entry: When David is burying Mia, she speaks with no impairment despite her tongue having been split lengthwise in a previous scene.

THGhost

Correction: She's still possessed by a demon at this point. Throughout the film she's been doing all sorts of things that ought to be physically impossible for a mortal human to do.

Phixius

Factual error: Near the end, Mia discovers the chainsaw in the toolshed. Glancing around, she sees a clear plastic bottle of sparkling bright blue fluid that looks like window cleaner but is marked "Chainsaw Gas." Real chainsaw fuel is a 1:40 mixture of 2-cycle motor oil (greenish-black in color) and gasoline (pinkish-amber in color), which produces a fuel that is olive-green in broad daylight. In the darkened shed where Mia finds the chainsaw, the "Chainsaw Gas" in the bottle should not appear sparkling blue, but should appear very dark green, even with artificial light behind it.
