Unwilling Lovers (also known as Mama's Boy and Young Lovers) is a 1977 pornographic horror film written and directed by Zebedy Colt.
Agnes Benson, an elderly and paraplegic recluse, hires Jenny Merlin to care for her and her adult son, Timmy. Timmy is a skilled mimic who has the mentality of a child due to witnessing the accident that crippled his mother, and killed his father. Not long after being hired by Mrs. Benson, Jenny has sex with the woman's handyman, Charlie. When Timmy catches the two of them together, Charlie tells him that he and Jenny were only "sunbathing". Timmy leaves to run an errand, and spots a couple having sex in the woods. When the man leaves to get cigarettes, Timmy approaches the woman, who panics and tries to run away, dying when she hits her head on a rock after being tripped by Timmy, who believes that they are playing a game. Oblivious to the woman's death, Timmy engages in intercourse with her body, and leaves when he hears the girl's boyfriend approaching.
Timmy returns home, and when his mother notices that his pants are unfastened, she angrily lectures him on the evils of sex, and comforts and sedates him when he has an outburst. While Timmy sleeps, Mrs. Benson reveals to Jenny that she was paralyzed when her drunk husband, who had tried to kill her, fell off of a cliff, and dragged her down with him. Timmy awakens, spies on Charlie fondling Jenny, delivers a package to a neighbor, and notices a husband forcing himself on his wife, which causes Timmy to flash back to his father attacking his mother. Timmy bludgeons the husband with a rock, and accidentally asphyxiates the wife while trying to calm her down. Thinking that the wife is playing the same "game" as his previous female victim, Timmy sexually assaults her corpse, then eats a chocolate bar, unaware of exactly what he has done. The media dub the killings "the Candy Bar Murders" because of the discarded sweets wrapper left at the current crime scene, and the earlier one.
Jenny and Charlie discuss their relationship, and begin to make love, when Timmy walks in on them. For his own amusement, Charlie gives Timmy wine and drugs, and invites him to participate in a borderline-bisexual threeway with him and Jenny. Later, Timmy is shown approaching another couple, which is followed by a shot of a newspaper which reads, "Another Candy Bar Murder!" Afterward, Timmy goes into the city with Charlie, and they pick up a pair of prostitutes, who they treat roughly, and make it clear to them that they will not be paying. Charlie leaves Timmy with the hookers, one of whom tries to rob him at knifepoint, angered over being mistreated. A struggle ensues, ending with Timmy stabbing one woman, strangling the other, and taking the knife.
