When Susan and David are having coffee with Reverend Swan, her ponytail is draped on her shoulder. It jumps behind her and back several times without her touching her hair.

Susan is laying on the bed with one leg dangling over the edge, waiting for David to return from checking downstairs. You see her leg in the mirror, dangling, foot not touching the floor. The camera then goes to a close up, floor level, of a hand reaching for Susan's foot, which is now touching the floor. Right before the hand grabs her ankle the camera goes back out to show Susan and the mirror. The mirror clearly shows Susan's foot off the floor again with the hand around it.

When the killer attacks the rock star (in the final massacre-scene), he has a knife in his right hand when they fall to the ground. The knife is no longer there when the killer lifts the rock star by pulling his arms. In the next shot the knife is back in the killer's hand, while he is holding the knife and the rockstar's arm with the same hand.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
After accidentally killing Peck during one of her visions, Susan is committed to Broadwood Hospital for the Criminally Insane. However, her book, titled The Maniac, shoots to the top of the best-seller list, and David is shown collecting a healthy royalty payment from Susan's agent. After paying a dutiful visit to Susan at the hospital, David returns to the estate to finalize the sale to a new owner who is in the process of turning it into a Bed & Breakfast. The owner points out Josh (Justin Hawkins), a blond musician who does painting on the side, and Emily (Ty Glaser), the village girl hired to work on the gardens. She also introduces Nathan (Al Minton), a yong man kicking a soccer ball in the front yard. David offers to give Emily a lift into the village and, while he waits for her to clean her hands, gets a call from his brunette honey (Katrena Rochell). He informs her that the divorce is being finalized but assures her that he's still Susan's beneficiary. As Emily gets in the car and David starts the engine, the killer (Tom Gaughan) from Susan's visions springs forward, slits David's neck, and turns on Emily. He then leaves the car and heads toward the B&B while a radio broadcast announces a search for a mass murder who just escaped from Broadwood, the same man who brutally murdered four campers in 1992. In the final scene, Susan huddles on the bed in her hospital cell, listening to the sounds of murder.
Q
So what does the ending mean?
A
Susan was tortured by visions of a bloody massacre in her house, but no one could find any record of such events ever having taken place there. In the last scenes, we see the people whom she saw killed in her visions are actually alive and have moved into the estate whilst the serial killer, who was presumed dead in the opening sequence has actually survived, escaped from a mental hospital and begun a killing spree just as she saw it. The twist in the tail is that Susan wasn't being haunted by visions of events that had already taken place but of events that were going to take place in the future. that is, she was having premonitions of what was to come rather than seeing memories of what had already happened.
Q
What is 'Psychosis' about?
A
After suffering a nervous breakdown, best-selling California crime novelist Susan Goldon (Charisma Carpenter) and her new British husband David (Paul Sculfor) move to a large old estate in the remote English countryside not far from where the brutal massacre of four campers took place in 1992. Soon after moving in, Susan begins to see strange visions, such as bloody bodies and a young man kicking a soccer ball, who appear one moment and disappear the next. Unsure whether she's seeing ghosts or having hallucinations, Susan seeks the help of a local psychic in order to assure herself that she is not having another breakdown.
