  • Revealing mistakes: When Becky is screaming after seeing the spider in the shower, you can see her underwear in the mirror reflection.

  • Revealing mistakes: When the General is crawling up Ross Jennings' leg at the end you can clearly see the metal rod pushing it along with a hand.

  • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the three girls are driving away after being warned about the spiders, one of them says "Yo, Dr.Death" yet none of their mouths move.

  • Revealing mistakes: When a mouse is injected with venom from one of the spiders it is placed in a jar and left on the table top. The camera pans to the doctors so that the mouse is not in shot, and when the camera pans back to the mouse you can clearly see the jar being removed and replaced with a dead mouse in a jar.

  • Revealing mistakes: When Becky is in the shower, the spider slips down her cleavage. When she looks down and screams, you can see a flesh-coloured garment.

  • Revealing mistakes: In the shot were the flaming General is hit with the nail from the nail gun, you can see the wire that's attached through the spider and to the nail. Also, in the following scene, the general goes in a straight line to the nest, diagonally from about floor level, across the room to the ceiling, defying the laws of physics.

  • Revealing mistakes: After the Margaret's party where Doctor Jennings (Daniels) is introduced to village residents there is a shot of Margaret's feet as she enters her house followed by a spider. There is a noticeable 'Wobble' and the camera position shifts slightly as the frame is cut after the actress passes before the spider enters. (The spider would have been filmed separately then the shots spliced together.)
