Keller runs out of the house to speak to him and Loki curses, opens the car window and talks to Keller while still chewing the toothpick. In the very next scene showing Loki in the car, the toothpick is gone.

Q

What is the song playing in the van?

A

"Put Your Hand in the Hand" by Ocean. The complete list of songs can be found here with their corresponding scene descriptions.

Q

What is this maze talked about in the movie?

A

The maze was the necklace worn by Holly Jone's husband, the original kidnapper who is found dead in the Priest's basement. It was he who kidnapped children originally, leading to Holly taking up the mantle after his death. This is how Alex remembers the maze, the messages drawn about escaping the maze and also how Bob Taylor, who escaped and had a history of resultant trauma, came to draw mazes and hold Snakes around his house. The maze represents the inescapable echoes of the original kidnapper as well as ties in to the film thematically.

Q

How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
