Jacob Fuller is established as a (lapsed) Baptist minister early on. At the scene behind the bar in the weapon room, he blesses water and makes the sign of the cross. A Baptist minister would never do this, as genuflections and the concept of "holy water" are Catholic.

Errors in geography
After they cross the border, Seth gives Jacob very simple instructions: drive straight forward until he meets a crossing road, then turn left. After they do they're driving towards a setting sun, however going south and turning left would have them face east, not west.

Kate's crossbow starts with three arrows on each side and one in the middle. She fires numerous arrows at the vampires, yet her supply of arrows never seems to go down. For the most part, this is due to the fact that it is a pump-action crossbow (as is shown when she first cocks it after picking it up) that brings a new bolt into position when the string is cocked back with the pump. While this explains why she doesn't have to sit around and reload the thing after every shot, the six bolts attached to the bow of the weapon do disappear suddenly, and apparently without being loaded into the bolt cartridge.Share this

In the first shot of the ending scene Kate is holding the money given by Seth. In the next shot there is no money.Share this
