Goofs
When Steve is shot you can still see him breathing.

In the last scene where Emily shoots Stevens to death, he is still breathing on the floor.

While Karaman is questioning Steven in the kitchen, he points out that Steven's footprints are visible all around the body in the blood. We also have seen that when Emily left the kitchen she left a trail of bloody footprints. However, when Steven runs to the door to fix the lock, he miraculously leaves no bloody prints on the floor.
