Continuity mistake: Right in the beginning of the film, a girl breaks out and is trying to escape the witches. She falls down a hole and you see her knee snap. The bone is protruding out, like right at the side of her knee cap and blood gushes. Yet moments later she starts crawling backwards on her back and is using both legs perfectly fine. (00:01:40)
Revealing mistake: The girl who breaks her knee in the beginning is taken back and the witches begin tying her up with barbed wire. As the wire is wrapped around her hands and wrists, it is obviously rubber. The wires bend way too easily, and the barbs even bend like nothing. (00:01:45)
Continuity mistake: After Hansel storms off to the woods after their dad and his girlfriend announce they are getting married, their dad walks up to Gretel. His face looks like he is about to cry and he is looking right at Gretel, and still walking. It cuts to a different angle and suddenly her dad is standing still at her already, and he is looking slightly down with a more calm face. (00:09:25)
Continuity mistake: After Hansel storms off into the woods, Gretel and their father are talking. Her dad reaches out and rubs her shoulder and then moves his hand to her bangs and begins brushing his fingers through her hair. It cuts to behind him and suddenly his hand is down and her hair normal. It cuts back and forth between close ups of them each a few times, and then the angle is to the side again and suddenly his hand is in her hair again before they hug. (00:09:35)
Continuity mistake: Hansel falls asleep in Lilith's house after his leg is injured, and Lilith and Gretel move him to the couch. In the close up, his head is facing up to his left. The shot cuts and suddenly his head has slumped over looking down to his right. (00:15:20)
Continuity mistake: Gretel wakes up after she was put to sleep and she says she has a headache. In the close up, she just has a couple of fingers pressed against the side of her head. It cuts and suddenly her hand is over her forehead. (00:19:35)
Continuity mistake: After Gretel wakes up with a headache, Lilith offers her a piece of candy to help. Gretel is looking right at Lilith in one shot, it then cuts and she is looking away and down. (00:19:55)
Continuity mistake: When Gretel is sweeping the broken vase, she sees a bloody fake fingernail under a table. The show of her shows her shadow on the wall next to the nail. But the close up of the nail has no shadows on the wall. (00:26:35)
Continuity mistake: The second girl shown to be in the cooking process is laid out on a table with men working her over. She has her hips lying on their side so her butt is sideways with her legs bent forward some, and she is mostly facing up. But then the shot changes to one of the guys skewering her through her anal area, and suddenly her hips a flush with the table, her hips side to side, and the shot makes it so she would be lying on her stomach, but then cuts and she is on her back and side again. (00:27:00)
Revealing mistake: At the dinner table when Lilith and Gretel are eating lunch with Lilith's "sons", Gretel takes a knife and stabs the boy closes to her in the hand. In the close up of the hand, it looks obviously rubber. That and there is already blood under it before the knife even hits. (00:37:25)
Continuity mistake: At the table, Gretel stabs John in the left hand with a knife. The wound in his hand is never seen again in the film and his hand looks fine, except in the last part where he is chasing H&G. It is most noticeable when he is climbing out of the fire place escape route after being blocked in. (00:37:25 - 01:13:35)
Revealing mistake: The boy who escapes runs right past the Lilith son named John. John puts an arrow in this guy's back before Lilith calls him inside. As the boy gets back up to run, you can see a bulge under his shirt where the arrow is held. And as he moves, the arrow bobs and bounces around like it's super lose and not really in his back. (00:46:45)
Continuity mistake: When Hansel and Gretel are hiding from John, a jar of worms has been broken on the table they are under. Some worms fall through and land on Gretel's face, leaving dirt. The shot cuts to John, then right back to Gretel and suddenly her face has no dirt. Throughout that entire sequence, dirt and worms keep appearing and disappearing from her face and neck. (00:48:30)
Continuity mistake: When H&G's dad finds the bear trap, Hansel's skate board is still next to it. When the shot cuts to the dad picking up the bear trap, the skateboard has vanished. (01:06:20)
Continuity mistake: While searching through the woods, H&G's dad find the bear trap that snared Hansel a couple nights before. First thing wrong is that when he finds it, the blood is still wet and deep red, but it has been at least a day and a half that blood was sitting there. The more obvious mistake is that it is covered in Hansel's blood, but when his dad picks it up, it has very little blood on it at all. (01:06:20)
Plot hole: After Lilith kills Officer Jerry, the Sheriff goes to her bakery and finds a large blood trail leading right to him where she stashed Jerry's body. If she was going to go through the trouble to try and move and hide the body, she would have cleaned up the blood trail too, or moving the body out of site was completely pointless. (01:07:30)
Continuity mistake: H&G's dad and his fiancée enter Lilith's house. As they do, the girl's hand is on the door in a close up, and she slides it across and drops her arm to her side letting go of the door. It cuts to a high angle, and you see her repeat this action. (01:08:35)
Revealing mistake: After the sheriff hits the other guy with his car and the arrow is pushed through him, the Sheriff shakes him after he dies. The part of the arrow sticking up out of his chest wobbles around very loosely. (01:10:50)
Visible crew/equipment: As Hansel and Gretel are getting into Lilith's Volkswagen, the camera is panning around the vehicle. As it does, you can see the legs of a crew member walking around behind it by the tree. (01:12:35)
Continuity mistake: While on the run through the woods, H&G set a trap for John. John hits it perfectly and a big sharp branch swings out and impales his back. As he pulls himself free from it, blood is like a geyser gushing out of the wound. He falls to the ground a half second later and suddenly there is no gush of blood. (01:15:50)
