The home movie defies logic


"Revealing mistakes: In the home video with the mother, we can see the mother and the two kids in one shot, yet the camera is still moving around and zooming when there is no one else in the room to operate it."

How the hell do you make that kind of mistake? It was horribly obvious and made no sense, ruined an already poor film. what were they thinking.

I don't think it's that big of a mistake. Why couldn't it have been a friend of theirs (just as demented as them)?

If it were a friend it would've been revealed in the film at some point. That's just the science of film. I have to agree with the OP.

Sometimes thing are put in movies simply to leave it open for a sequel. Saw did it with all of the movies so its not the "science of film" to reveal everything.
