Crave, November 11, 2020. Soundtrack: Music by Robin Coudert (as Rob). Anachronisms: 1. The younger witch is shown with various tattoos of magical symbols on her body, particularly stars and the pentagram. However, she also strangely has what looks like a Star of David on her arm, which symbolizes the Jewish faith and is not connected to sorcery. 2. In Gretel's second dream, in the room with the corpses, and the whispering voices saying "Don't look at us," you can see a drain pipe on the wall. That did not exist in the time period of the story.

Anachronisms 

During the car chase early in the film, the car carrying Edward Norton and Ethan Suplee runs over the sidewalk as it rounds a corner, clearly showing the curb ramps for the handicapped, that would not have been installed until after the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The style of panic bar on the exit door in the auditorium at the public meeting was not invented until 1988 by Thomas Industries.
The terms "paper trail" and "granny glasses" did not exist in 1957.
At the beginning of the film when the two were sitting in the car listening to the conversation from upstairs, you hear an electronic siren in the background. They were not invented until 1964. A few moments later, you see a NYPD patrol car race by with its red light turning. It should have had red and white alternating lights but the siren was correct for the period then.
When the Edward Norton character asks for "Mr. Horowitz," the receptionist corrects him by saying "Ms." The term is used again later in the film. While the term existed prior to the 1950's it was not in general use until the 1970's.
When Lionel meets with Moses in the bath house, Moses smokes an American Spirit cigarette. Natural American Spirits were not introduced until 1982.

Laura describes the racist policies by referring to "Latino" families, a term that would not become widely used until much later in the century, particularly outside of the western United States.
