the reason mary's mom was so crazy and was boarding up the door and being like "they're everywhere you can't go outside" is because there was an entrance to the backrooms near/in/around mary's house and mary's mom found it and it made her a little crazy and no one believed her when she told people about it which is why she got institutionalized after being a seemingly good mom for some period of time
cuz if the backrooms copies locations that are around entrances like how it does with the entrance in the store basement, like we have no reason to believe that mary's childhood home was near that entrance and why would it be so why would the backrooms copy her house like we see it do unless there was another entrance nearby
and like mary and her mom have a weird ass accent i dont know if she's american
also i think the bacteria/the lifeform is a still life of some non human entity maybe a fly or an actual bacteria or something. thank you

This is an interesting theory I've seen floating around! Personally, I think it's a really accurate representation of schizophrenia with a sudden onset of symptoms derailing into intense psychosis. I think this is supported by the medication you see with her name on it being used to treat schizophrenics in the time period.
In the film it's shown that proximity to the backrooms doesn't matter, just the memories of the people who enter it. That's why Clark only has faint impressions of a home since he's known to be a workaholic while the department store he lived in and obsessed over is rendered accurately. Kat and Bobby have their homes and neighbourhood rendered in the backrooms but there's no indication that there's a null zone nearby.
I also have no idea what the accent is or where it's from. It's been stuck in my head ever since I first saw it.
