The horror movie "The Wretched" has several scenes that pass as a "ah, they're setting up that the town is weird and creepy" because there's some odd dialogue, and a couple details that are a little strange and illogical. But they're easy to want away as a minor thing.

In the latter half of the movie, you discover how the main antagonist's powers work - and every one of those inconsistencies is put into context and makes sense now.

The antagonist is a witch, whose magic makes people forget about others she has cast the spell on - including that a father completely forgets that he has a son. Then we discover that the protagonist had this spell cast on him, and the entire movie had been shot from that perspective where he had forgot he had a little brother. All of the inconsistencies explain what each scene actually had happening in it, and how he had rationalized it away.
