Session 9

Continuity mistake: Gordon mentions that his wife accidentally spilled hot water on his leg and burnt it, but the actor only occasionally limps on it, although we are shown that he has an injured leg. This is mentioned on the commentary.

Continuity mistake: When Gordon is remembering the day he went home and his wife spilled the hot water on him, it shows Gordon in the van watching his wife and daughter walk into the house. They disappear around the corner, but in the next shot of the house his wife and daughter are walking into the house again.

Continuity mistake: When Hank is first discovering the cache of hidden metal items, watch carefully as he removes the brick and the items spill out. The position and number of bricks removed change between shots. This footage is spliced together from several takes, as mentioned on the commentary.

Mistakes

Factual error: When Mike first starts listening to the session tapes, the camera does a slow pan down the label on the box. Quite clearly, we can see that the patient's diagnosis is listed as "D.I.D.", along with a few names. Since the hospital closed in the mid 80's, it is not possible for her to have that diagnosis. Before the early 1990's, D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) was known as M.P.D. (Multiple Personality Disorder). In later scenes it is correctly listed in the woman's files as Multiple Personality.

Trivia

Trivia: A massive subplot was removed from the film. It was going to be shown throughout the film that a crazy homeless woman was secretly living in the hospital. She'd eerily observe the workers and be a red herring to throw off the audience. SPOILERS. Finally, after she witnesses Gordon kill everyone, she would sneak up and kill him as "revenge." However, her subplot was removed as audiences were confused (thinking she was Mary from the audio tapes) and the director wanted to streamline the plot.
