What happened to him was still rather jarring and sad though, mostly due to how drawn out it was.
He runs to get the rest of the crew but when they return Hank is gone and Jeff drops this stock phrase. It Was Here, I Swear!: Jeff encounters Hank in the building after the latter was thought to have left for Florida.Hearing Voices: Gordon starts hearing Simon speak to him when they get introduced to the asylum and visit Ward A.Haunted House Historian: Mike informs the crew abou the (fictional) Patricia Willard scandal that was part of the reason why the asylum was closed down on the 1980s.Haunted House: One explanation for Gordon's Sanity Slippage is that he got possessed by a ghost from the asylum.Simon is also the one who gets to Gordon and first makes him murder his wife, dog and newborn child, then slaughter all his co-workers.In Mary's case, Simon talked her into brutally murdering her entire family.Gollum Made Me Do It: Both this and Split Personality in regards to Mary and Gordon.There's also - the scream heard during the Smash to Black when Gordon's going in to give Emma the roses, though it's overlaid onto the generator, Hank musing about how Gordon is the only one who doesn't have an "escape plan" to get out of their field, and Mikey tells Jeff about how everyone has to have something to keep them centered while working with such dangerous material, and that Gordon is a zen master of keeping his calm - but the cracks are starting to show.This clues the audience into the fact that we haven't actually heard Gordon's wife over the phone, we're just seeing him supposedly talking to her. When Phil claims that everyone heard Amy say that Hank had gone to Miami to go to casino school, Gordon points out that none of them actually heard it: Phil claimed to have been on the phone to Amy, but they didn't actually hear her saying that herself.Fauxshadow: Lots of clues are dropped to make Phil the villain of the story, like him lying about the phone call to Amy and turning the crew against Gordon.His team and his family are not so lucky. Gordon shows the team photos of his baby daughter and his wife, which might suggest Gordon will die before the end of the film. It's revealed that after Gordon lobotomized Hank, he left the silver 'ice-pick' embedded to the hilt in Hank's eye. Or, alternatively, after being possessed by Simon. Downer Ending: Gordon killed his wife, daughter and colleagues (even if the jury's still out on Hank), during a DID-induced psychotic break.Whether this is also the reason behind the death of the team members is left unclear with maybe the exception of Phil. And then there is Gordon killing his wife because she accidentally spilled hot water on him and then his baby and dog because they were making noise. Disproportionate Retribution: On one hand, there is Mary killing her brother for breaking her doll and then killing her parents to avoid them getting mad at her.The same goes with Hank and Phil's relationship drama with Amy. None of that really matters, because Mike gets murdered along with everyone else. Developing Doomed Characters: It's mentioned that Mike's dad was a DA, and that Mike himself has ambitions of going into law school eventually.Death of a Child: One of Gordon's victims is his baby daughter.
