The thing about plot holes... (SPOILERS)

...of course it has some, but the point is with its twist ending you can't complain about stuff like "But if Eve was the nun, how could she kill the woman locked in the room" or "but what was with all the water". IF one takes the plot twist at face value, then what we have seen can't be trusted and the characters' seeing the water nun are really delusions, when their deaths might have happened differently (i.e. no water, of course, the room wasn't locked or Eve broke open the door (that's why its glass is smashed), then drags the woman there to decapitate her). Now the Spanish are often throwing plot twists in for the hell of it, but this one was better than some others (for a really terrible and even more nonsensical one check out Carlos Gil's "School Killer"), and wether you don't accept the ending or you do, what are plot holes or not is determined by whether you follow the movie's two alternative logics and which.

There were many plot holes. For instance, if Eve's body was physically used to kill her mother, why were no fingerprints found? That's the only one I haven't seen mentioned, all the others were mentioned in other topics here. I see what they were trying to say, and it only kind of makes sense. It would only make sense if the spirit was using her body as some sort of gateway. Even then, she wasn't actually at most of the scenes when the murders took place. I don't know what they were thinking, but (as mentioned here already) this movie's plot holes were just like the ones in High Tension. I liked the actresses, but the movie could have been better in my opinion.

At least Eve was present when the women were killed in New York and Barcelona, but there was one who was killed in London. Now who could have done that, since Eve was not in London for that murder?

Furthermore, was fetus-Eve trying to abort herself via shower nozzle (vis-a-vis Ursula) on the night this nonsensical farce began? Face it, this plot "twist" was a half-baked addition at the last minute.

Great points all around, but the problem is that with movies this bad, it's pointless to ask these kinds of questions. You just have to accept how laughable (and this movie is full of laughs) and ridiculous it all is.

More importantly, how did Eve manage to control the elevator during Christy's death scene?

This movie sucked. It made zero sense. Sh_tty acting, a stupid plot (and plot holes galore). I was laughing through this stinker halfway through. It was pure comedy from then on.
