Are we supposed to infer anything from a mother taking her son to a key party? Like that there might possibly be some incest going on, since everybody else is a couple? Even if not, it's still weird, considering the situation.
Sir, I'm going to crack your *beep* head open!
well i dnt like such bestalty ok???
shareThe electricity in the air is that she might get her son's key. Those were sickening times, I remember people like that.
shareWhat sells the fact there's incest is when the mother comes up to get the key from the bowl, and there's a cut to the son that emphasizes something's amiss.

And in the novel, this is not the case. I just pulled out my copy and "Neil didn't even seem to notice his mother's grand exit." (p. 168)
I also can't find a reference to mother and son holding hands when they enter in either the novel or script. In my opinion, this is a nice add by the film folks to add a little curveball to the 'seedy' nature of the key party.

Just because if they had matched keys, doesn't mean they're forced to have sex... I can't believe this is actually a discussion.
They'd just lose out & go home parent-son as if nothing happened. Anyone thinking otherwise is a bit off.
I think it's just freaky that a mother brings her teenage son along as fresh meat for a nest of cougars. Surely if she picked his keys by accident, they would have just set on home, but otherwise, she knew she was leaving him as an offering to her girlfriends.
