Other mistake: The entire movie takes place during the overnight dark hours. Limited lighting from the car and flashlight somehow manage to illuminate faces, photos, signs, etc. Filming in the dark surely has its challenges, and there has to be a proper balance between lighting and ability of viewers to see what is happening. The "convenient" lighting would be a "deliberate mistake" except for one factor: A full moon (highly illuminated) is shown without radiating the light expected from a full moon. (00:26:25)
The Toll (2020)
Directed by: Michael Nader
Starring: James McGowan, Jordan Hayes, Max Topplin
Other mistake: After Cami finds photos in Spencer's center console, she is able to see them while sitting in the back seat (perhaps from an interior overhead light). When Spencer approaches from behind and taps on her window, the interior of the car is dark and the photos are barely visible. Cami did not even try to hide the photos from Spencer, even though she suspects he was stalking her. (00:23:54)
Deliberate mistake: The images of Spencer's face in the driver's side mirror are not realistic for someone in the driver's seat. The driver's side mirror is angled outward (perhaps 60° beyond a typical angle), but his face is perfectly reflected. When Spencer starts smoking, the viewer gets a glimpse of a figure behind his car. Spencer senses something and his face is shown backwards in the mirror, as if he were crouching outside a few feet from his car. Spencer does not use the more practical rearview mirror.
