The Skeleton Key (2005)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Caroline tries to escape from the houdoo house via tiny rowboat, she finds the boat right-side-up on the grass (like a bowl). Throughout the movie it rained constantly but there wasn't any water at the bottom of the boat. Also, the heavy rainstorms would have caused the water level in the lake to rise and possibly carry the rowboat off, since it was not tied up and inches from the shore.

Correction: This film takes place in an area that is very marshy. The ground soaks up water like a sponge. This would have prevented the lake from rising significantly. Also, most small boats have a hole in the bottom that allows water to drain out. The plug must not have been in place during the rainstorm.
