Revealing mistakes: At the very beginning of the film when Ben strangles the woman, she closes her eyes to show she has died, but then she opens them and then continues to blink until the scene fades.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the beginning, Benoît says that four times a child's body weight is needed to sink a dead child.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ben gets a holster for his birthday, he asks them to bring his revolver so he can try it out. But they don't bring a revolver, they bring him a semi-automatic pistol.
