Audio problem: When Elise sends Specs and Imogen to get the bible from upstairs, Tucker protests, saying "he gets bible camp with the most beautiful girl on earth...", but his mouth movements don't quite match the words "he gets bible camp", revealing the line was re-recorded in post. (The rest of the line matches, but not those four words).

Continuity mistake: After Specs kills Ted, we see Elise being interviewed by police outside as Mara is taken away to the hospital. Depending on the camera angle, sometimes Elise has police lights reflecting on her face, and sometimes not. It changes instantly between cuts several times. There are a few other minor continuity gaffs with the police lights throughout the scene as well.

Visible crew/equipment: When Elise and Tucker open the hidden door, in the closeup of Elise, you can faintly see set-lights reflecting in her and Tucker's eyes. The the room in front of them is totally pitch-black, so there's no other light source that could be creating these light reflections.

Revealing mistake: Normally I wouldn't consider a bad CGI effect to be a mistake, but when Elise finds the hidden keyhole in the wall in the basement, the effect is comical if you pay attention. The way it appears as she scratches is pretty unnatural, and the pieces of paint that fall practically look like cartoon pieces if you pay attention. The shadow of her left hand also looks a little too sharp compared to the rest of her (somewhat softer) shadow, revealing it was likely rotoscopped in some way.

Continuity mistake: When Elise is communicating through the wall by asking yes-or-no questions and getting responses via whistle, in the shots facing Elise, she's staring forward directly forward. But in the shots facing the wall, her head is turned sideways and pressed up against the wall. This happens instantly between cuts at least once.

Continuity mistake: When Elise and Tucker go down into the basement and hear the whistle, Elise approaches the wall. As she does, her right arm is bent up by her abdomen. When the camera cuts, you can see from her shadow that her right arm is instantly now down by her side.

Continuity mistake: During the second night of the investigation, after Tucker and Elise hear the whistle, Tucker opens the door. The shadow his hand and microphone are casting on the door changes positions between edits when it cuts to the POV of him grabbing the doorknob. (First it's on the door, then off).

Continuity mistake: During the second night of the investigation, after Elise and Tucker hear the whistle, Tucker starts to walk forward with his microphone. It cuts to an aerial shot of Elise standing, and you can see Tucker's feet, and he's suddenly standing still before taking a step back, despite the fact he was walking forward in the previous shot. He's also moved forward about 4 feet between cuts.

Audio problem: At the start of the second night of the investigation at Ted's house, Elise says "Why did you say 'help her'? Help who?" While the camera is focused on Tucker with the microphone, you can see Elise's face at the bottom of the frame and her mouth is not moving at all.
