When Ash smashes a large window to exit from the house on Long Island, after the glass has shattered and fallen, there is still glass along the top of the frame as Ash and Telly start to walk through the frame. However, when the shot cuts to outside, we see them stepping through the frame and there is no more glass along the top of the frame.

Before Telly starts tearing away the wallpaper in Ash's office we see a framed Hockey Jersey and five smaller framed pictures on the wall hanging over a desk. When she starts cutting the paper everything is still there, but the desk has been moved. Then when we pull back the only thing left is three small picture frames; everything else has disappeared.

When Telly is running away from NSAgents for the first time, she runs into the store and we see a shop assistant standing behind the cash desk. In the next shoot, when the NSAgent runs into the store, there is not only the man but also a girl behind a cash desk - she wasn't there in the first shoot.

At the beginning of the movie, when Telly first visits Dr Munce and thinks she had a cup of coffee when she came in, Dr. Munce has a dark (green?) coffee cup on the table next to him. When he picks it up, it's white. Then later it's a green one again.

Errors in geography
The address for the house on Long Island that is given is only the street address and "Long Island." In actuality, Long Island is made up of many smaller towns and different counties. There should have been the name of a certain town included in the address, otherwise the house could have been located anywhere on the whole island.

When Detective Pope arrives at the Long Island house, she has a blue light flashing in the front of her unmarked car. The NYPD does not use blue lights, they use red lights in their unmarked cars.
