- Errors in geography: The movie's action is set in Burkittsville, MD, which is in Frederick County, but at the end the characters are seen being hustled into what is clearly labeled the "Howard County Courthouse," which is located in Ellicott City, MD, nowhere near Burkittsville.
- Continuity: One of the cast members buys a six-pack of beer; when he takes it from the cooler, it's a green pack of Moosehead Ale. However, when he removes it from the paper bag after bringing it home, it's a silvery carton with "Tom's Wicked Ale" on the side.

- Revealing mistakes: After Kim is gets her beer from the store refrigerator, a woman comes round the corner and bashes her trolley into her.

- Continuity: When the tour group meets Kim in the cemetery, she is lying on a grave with the name "Treacle" written on the headstone, but when they move past the the headstone and see it from the other side, it clearly has the name "Further" written on it, and also looks much older. (This is due to an extra on the DVD version, which includes watching a section backwards to look for clues. These clues then point you to different parts of the film to solve a puzzle, the tombstone is part of that. There is also a shadow of a tombstone that appears as a cross and then just a normal tombstone, and also ghost images throughout the film.)
- Revealing mistakes: At the end of the film, when Tristen is hiding the tapes, she is being filmed. However, the camera moves as if someone is holding it. How can anyone hold it if she sent the rest of the group into the forest to kill the tourist team?
