Character error 

The active ingredient in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, not "tetrahedral chloride" as identified in the film, other than the comparison to pot, the character's description of absinthe is otherwise correct

Revealing mistakes 

It is said that there are no fingerprints from Justin or Richard, but they are shown carrying Oliva's dead body wrapped in plastic to the car and neither of them have gloves on, thus there should have been fingerprints from Richard and Justin found on the plastic that the dead body was wrapped in.

Spoilers 

The goof item below may give away important plot points.

Revealing mistakes 

In the opening scene, an aerial camera shot zooms into the house on the sea cliffs. Initially, you can tell that the cliffs are some distance from the edge of the house. Later the small and busted up decking is immediately overhanging the cliffs, and Richard falls straight down to the rocks below. The decking would have to be huge to allow him to fall to the sea.
