Hellraiser (2022)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Serena approaches the man to buy the puzzlebox. He pulls the cigarette out of his mouth and exhales smoke, which mostly dissipates. The scene then cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly, more smoke appears in the air between edits.

Hellraiser (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty goes into the storage room (where the corpse spews maggots onto her), she has a large bloodstain on her face. Inside, she sweats most of the blood off her face, leaving only a slightly discolored red stain. But then, when she exits the room, suddenly a lot of the blood has re-appeared on her face. I'm assuming they filmed her entering and exiting the door at one time, and her inside the room another time, causing the inconsistency.

Ginger Snaps (2000)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the mom discovers the dead body of her dog, she walks in front of an outdoor playhouse in a wideshot. It then cuts to a medium shot of her screaming. Between shots, she is suddenly standing in a different spot entirely... she goes from standing in front of the corner of the playhouse, to being dead center in front of it. She also seems to be several feet closer to it.

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are taking a photo of Ginger "impaled" on the fence right before the opening credits, the amount of blood on the fence instantly changes between cuts after Brigitte says "Too much blood and I can see your gonch!" (Suddenly, much more blood appears on the fence posts on the right side of screen).

Ginger Snaps (2000)

Continuity mistake: When Ginger and Brigitte are talking about their suicide pact in the first scene, Ginger puts her hand out and says "Out by sixteen or dead on the scene " When she first reaches her hand out, it's flat with her palm facing up and her fingers pointed out. It then cuts to the opposite angle, instantly she is holding her hand with her palm facing out and her fingers pointed up.

Ginger Snaps (2000)

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, from the moment the little boy wipes the blood on his face to the last time we see him (when the mom is crying about how "It got our dog!"), the amount of blood on his face changes at least twice. Sometimes there is more or less depending on the shot.

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Reiko picks up Tomoko's photos from the shop and is going through them, the way she's holding them changes subtly as it cuts back and forth from the over-the-shoulder shot to the low-angle-looking-up shot. (Most noticeably, in the over-the-shoulder shot, she has one photo pulled to the side but it's not pulled to the side in the low-angle shots).

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: During the funeral, Reiko goes outside and sees a condolence sign from Tomoko's school. In the first shot, she's not casting a shadow on it. The camera cuts to the opposite angle, and you can see for a second that she's suddenly partially casting a shadow on the edge of it. (Presumably because they adjusted the lighting in-between shots when they changed the camera angle).

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Reiko is at her job at the beginning of the movie after interviewing the school-girls, the extras behind them are not consistent when it cuts from the wide to medium shot. Several of them are in different places and are doing different things.

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Reiko is introduced doing an interview with a schoolgirl, her cameraman suddenly moves back about a foot between shots after he tells the girl not to look at the camera, and they resume the interview. In the first shot, the lens of his camera is literally touching Reiko's shoulder... in the next, it's a good 12" behind her.

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, there are two magnets on the refrigerator that look like cheese-wedges. They change positions twice during the scene. They rotate and move down about a half-inch at one point. Then, a few shots later, they are suddenly much closer together.

Ringu (1998)

Continuity mistake: In the opening, there's a can of Planters peanuts on the table while Tomoko and Masami are talking about the cursed tape. When Tomoko gets off her chair and down on the floor, the can suddenly rotates about 45° from where it was a few shots prior. There's no indication that Masami touched it at all while it was briefly offscreen. (Best I can figure is that it might have gotten nudged between takes).
