She quickly figures out that it just takes more concentration, and she escapes the room.Īnti-climatic ending I thought it was well suited, but then again I love films that fuck around with audience expectation. The mutant scares the piss out of Elana and causes her to temporarily lose control of her mental block on the Pyramid.

Which would explain why they would not harm her (or Elana used her telepathic abilities to placate them) The creature you see locked in the cell is more than likely a failed experiment by Dr. It's a safe bet that Elana's genetic material was used to create the Sentionauts, and that the child you see under the helmet is actually a mutant Elana clone. He then activates a Sentionaut which inserts a tracking device in Elana's neck and cleans up the mess. With his control over his sanity and the Arboria facility slipping, Barry allows Elana to kill Margo.

It also informed Barry that Margo had been snooping around in his research diary, which was full of twisted, and highly illegal, information. Mercurio was fading, and that once he died there was an increased risk of Elana escaping her room (which is exactly what ended up happening after Barry killed Mercurio). Nyle shares a telepathic link with his creations, and at one point in the film he actually receives a telepathic message from the Sentionaut consciousness (they sound similar to modem connecting). They are the guards and custodians of the Arboria Facility. It was during those 16 years that Barry developed the Sentionauts as a sort of, all purpose employee. Nyle took over the entire facility, and kept Elana under lock and key. Mercurio lost his grip on reality and descended into drug addiction, locking himself away deep in the underground levels of Arboria.

After he causes Margo's death, he basically lets go, and gives in to the "Barry" that emerged during the '66 experiment. At the start of the film Barry has been using drugs to keep his insanity under control for the past 16 years, all while experimenting and coveting Elana.

After the failed experiment, Barry seemed to develop the ability to receive (but not send) telepathic messages, and he gained a heightened sense of smell. He ended up killing Anna in a fit of insanity during the experiment, and also lost the pigmentation in his eyes along with all of his hair. Mercurio that altered him both physically and mentally.

So, instead of going batshit insane like Dr. This allowed Elana to successfully go through the same experiment that destroyed Barry's sanity. Mercurio conceived Elana through energy sculpting (the glowing pyramid). Did they give Elena her mental abilities? Yes, it's implied that Anna and Dr.
