Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Mort closes the door of his jeep before he goes into the hotel room. You can hear the sound of the door closing and it's visible in the rearview-mirror. As the camera moves out of the room, the jeep door is completely open. (00:02:05)

Suggested correction: The door just didn't actually catch. I've had cars like that, especially during the winter.
Given that we see it stay closed for almost 4 seconds and hear it catch, it's a valid mistake.
If you've ever lived where it snows a lot, you'd know that door catches accumulate moisture (ice) and can open slowly, as it did in this case.

Trivia: Timothy Hutton also starred in "The Dark Half", another movie based on a Stephen King book about a fictional author who comes to life.

Suggested correction: Coincidence, not trivia.
Even if you think it's a coincidence, it's still a valid trivia since it connects an actor and film to another role.

Corrected entry: When Mort throws the ashtray into the wall the hole looks a lot like a broken heart, but when we see the hole again it's more rectangular.
Correction: When we first see the hole, it is rectangular in shape, just like we see later when Amy sees the hole. The heart shape (possible foreshadowing) only occurs after the wall starts to crack. This cracking though is just Mort's hallucination, so the hole reverts back to the rectangle shape.
