In The Shining, when the family is being given a tour of the hotel fairly early in the movie, they get shown the walk in fridge. There is a shot of the door to the fridge from the hallway and then a cut to a shot from the back of the fridge looking toward the door. The hinges are on opposite sides between the two shots. Immersion ruined.
This might be a simple goof, but a lot of the layout in The Shining (intentionally) doesn’t make any sense. There’s some great analysis of the insane architecture of the hotel.
Flipping shots gets done far too often in movies. I remember a particularly egregious one in one of the Harry Potter movies where all the text on the blackboard behind a teacher was mirrored lol.
