So who brings food to adult Brahms living inside the walls? The mansion is in a remote location. Malcolm brings Lauren food and payment once a week, so who brings food for Brahms?

Did you notice that the space inside the walls was huge? The kid could have driven a golf-cart inside the walls. Also from inside the walls, all the wood paneling had lots of gaps, so the kid could look at everything inside the house. Talk about shoddy construction! From the actual rooms in the house, all the walls looked really good quality, and none of them had any gaps or holes for peeping.

The surprise twist was fun. Watching gigantic real-life Bahms pop out of a mirror was a great scare, but it just made no practical sense at all. The kid had his own room, refrigerator, and a hot plate. Presumably every day when he was cooking the food nobody delivered to him, the smell of cooking would have been noticed sooner or later. Just the concept of somebody living inside the walls for ten years seems pretty much impossible.

Plus why would he live inside the walls when his parents were the only ones living with him? Seems like once they established the alibi of the kid dying in the fire, the next step would have been to put him on a boat to another country, so he could move on with his life and his parents could move on and pretend he was really dead.
