details

• Continuity: When Brian comes to Barbara's house and they sit at the table, Barbara smokes a cigarette which in one clip has been smoked by a third, but in the next shot of her the cigarette looks like it's just been lit.
  
  
• Continuity: Immediately following Barbara's second visit to the veterinarian, she confronts Sheba on the street and tries to persuade her to return to the vet's office with her. Throughout their entire conversation, the front passenger-side door of the Hart's automobile appears both opened and closed from shot to shot.
  
  
• Continuity: When Barbara visits Sheba for the first time, she's carrying a bouquet. She sits in the living room and puts her left arm over the flowers. In the next shot, her arm is under.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: When Sheba is rampaging through Barbara's house in search of her journal, you can see a crew member in the mirror behind her as she goes to sit.
  
  
• Anachronisms: The LP that Steven picks up in Sheba's workshop is "Kaleidoscope" by Siouxsie and the Banshees (1980). The band's song that plays over the scene, however, is "Dizzy," which was first released as a single in 1992.
  
  
• Continuity: When Sheba goes up to her daughter's bedroom, she is listening to music on headphones, the camera briefly cuts to Sheba, then back to the daughter, and the headphones have vanished; there was not enough time in between the shots for her to have removed them.
  
  
• Continuity: When Sheba confronts Barbara about her diary, the makeup (eyeliner) she has smudged by crying changes. One moment she had dark thick eyeliner on, the next moment she has very little of eyeliner still on, and then the eyeliner comes back as before.
