When Gordon’s first day at the hospital ends, he heads back home with a bouquet of flowers for his wife. Mary isn’t just your typical ghostly poltergeist but is actually a “presence” that looms over the entire hospital. And if you’ll watch closely, you’ll realize that as the film progresses, each character almost becomes one of Mary’s personalities. With all of these seemingly eerie cosmic coincidences, it seems like the entire hospital is nothing but a manifestation of Mary’s many different personalities. Other similar coincidences are sporadically distributed throughout the film wherein one of them also shows Gordon sitting on top of Mary’s grave which has 444, Mary’s number, inscribed on it. And what’s even stranger is the fact that out of all the hundreds of tapes in the room, Mike is only drawn to Mary’s box of tapes. Almost coincidentally, Mike ends up finding the room where the hospital keeps all of its old records and patient interview tapes. ![]() The next is Mike’s experience with the hospital’s tapes. This scene clearly shows that Mary is now somewhere in the back of his head. Right after this, when Mike and Gordon head deeper into tunnels of the hospital with the guard, for some strange reason, Gordon tries to lead the way as if he’s already well-versed with the geography of the huge hospital. One of these incidents is, of course, Gordon’s experience when he first sees Mary’s wheelchair in the corridor. Later on in the film, there are several “coincidental moments” that somehow bring the lives of the asbestos removal workers in tandem with Mary and her personalities. When they head down to the dark underground tunnels of the facility, Gordon spots a wheelchair from a distance and that’s when he hears a voice in his head that says “Hello Gordon.” It’s this scene that marks the inception of Gordon’s descent into madness and it also shows how Mary’s specter has now taken over Gordon’s mind. Moments after this, Mike and Gordon enter the mental hospital for the first time and are given a brief tour of it by a security guard. This is when the movie first gives you a glimpse of the downward spiral in which Gordon is potentially heading in. In the opening scene of the movie, Gordon expresses how stressed he and his wife have been feeling lately because of their newborn baby. ![]() While Mary’s other two personalities are just mere plot devices for the movie, Simon becomes a significant part of the movie’s premise. The Simon side of Mary’s personality only shows up in the final tape, which was Mary’s “Session 9” with the doctor. In the tapes, Mary’s personalities keep shifting between her true self, Princess, and Billy, but every time her doctor brings up Simon, she refuses to wake him up. Throughout the movie’s runtime, as Mike plays each of the nine tapes from Mary’s box, he gets a glimpse of all of Mary’s personalities, except for one-Simon. ![]() The box that contains her tapes is labeled with the names of all four of her personalities-Mary, Princess, Billy, and Simon. In the room, he finds the tape records of a patient named Mary who suffered from multiple personality disorder. Mike, who is one of the smartest crew members, discovers an old records room in the basement of the hospital.
