Physics fail by francesca31 · 22 Oct 2021
When Barbara falls into the sandworm's world, the kneepads worn for the stunt are clearly visible. It's a common production oversight where safety equipment used for filming physical sequences accidentally makes it into the final cut.

Continuity by ccaldwell51 · 05 Jul 2018
When Adam draws the door with chalk to enter the spiritual world, the doorknob is clearly visible. Once the door begins to close after they have passed through, that knob is suddenly gone.

The "FRAGILE" sign on the cardboard they dig up is scaled down to match their size, which creates a visual error. If the miniature world were truly proportional, the lettering on that box should have been significantly larger relative to them. It’s a common scaling issue that occurs when trying to blend live-action characters with miniature set pieces.

When Adam finishes using the chalk to open the door, he places the handbook and the chalk down separately. Later, when Lydia enters the attic, the chalk has moved and is now resting directly on top of the book. This is a noticeable continuity error where the prop placement changed between takes.

Logic fail by rosalie_link61 · 24 Dec 2015
Since Adam and Barbara died by drowning, they should theoretically appear waterlogged throughout the film, similar to how other ghosts manifest the gruesome details of their deaths, like Juno whose throat was cut, etc. Their clean, dry appearance creates a major inconsistency with the rules established for the other spirits in the afterlife, who consistently show the physical aftermath of how they passed away.
