Goofs:
Continuity: When the family are chased out of their house, the front door closes behind them and it is clearly shown that the BOTTOM bolt of the door drops, thus locking them all out. When the boy subsequently runs around the side of the house, gets in and unlocks the front door from the inside, he doesn't lift up the bottom bolt. moreSoundtrack:
