I have to admit that Howard Grant is my idol....he portrays the deviant man with the stocking over his head only to have his life snuffed out instantly by his lover's kid.
What gets to me is that the lover doesn't even bother to budge as young Willy stabs him repeatedly....the lover seems to take all the blows in stride and dies in style.....
Howard Grant gave a fantastic performance as 'the lover' a twisted boyfriend who bound and gags his girlfriends kid before resuming their 'compromising position' in her bed.
Obviously it is not something that you see everyday....a man with a stocking over his head....and getting killed by his girlfriend's kid. It is quite obvious that Willy was traumatized by the whole incident 'that night'.
That is why 'that night' is not something to be discussed freely with Willy because it was the end of 'the lovers' life. and the end of their relationship with their mother. Obviously she shows no pity or remorse or compassion as her beloved 'lover' ties her son to the bed and gags him as she stands by the doorway drinking heavily.
Now I can truly understand why Willy was rendered mute 'ever since that night'.
