1. I wasn't that impressed by the movie but I think that 2 is selling it short.

2 for me. Often with these films the explanation is deliberately left open to interpretation, but I think the possession theory fits nicely.

I never even imagined whatsoever that Simon had anything to do with Gordon. I suppose the clues are there, but it's a stretch.

1, it's the most fitting choice, quite honestly it's the most disturbing and adds a lot more depth to the story. 2 would just be the easier explanation since (IMHO) there's not much supporting the possession theory besides the end dialog, possession is always a cop-out for when they don't have an ending and is thrown in there to fill the missing gap.

I subscribe to theory #1.
#2 doesn't feel like it has any deeper meaning.

2. The ending dialogue explains that Simon "preys on the weak." 3 has already been done (well maybe after the fact) in Identity.

1. Small amount of Evil lives inside each of us. Simon is just a name for it.
   Final line - 'I live in the weak and the wounded.' is not 'I'm entering the weak and the wounded.'.
   So, no "possession" theme for me.

2 gets my vote.
It's the voice. Gordon hears the same voice that came from Mary. There is a connection and that is the voice and Simon.
