Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
View MoreUNINVITED is a gruesome straight-to-video horror film from director Greydon Clark, the guy whose long-running exploitation career includes the creepy alien film THE WARNING. This low-budget offering is set almost entirely on a yacht, in which an assorted group of passengers including the usual vacationing teenagers and some old-time gangsters find themselves assailed by a mutant cat which has just escaped from a local laboratory.Sounds cheesy? It is, and then some. This film suffers from poor production values and a general lack of coherence, and some very dodgy acting particularly from the younger cast members really doesn't help. Still, you do get a bunch of old-timers in smaller roles, including George Kennedy, Austin Stoker, Clu Gulager, and Alex Cord. I guess their fees is where most of the budget ended up going.This film follows the usual slasher template of having the unseen killer going around bumping off the group one by one until only a couple of people remain. The cat itself is a somewhat laughable creation - the special effects simply aren't up to the job of animating it in a convincing way - but the many gore effects are elaborate and wince-inducing, and rather brilliant. I read somewhere that this film was rated PG-13 in America, which is incredible because it's one of the most imaginatively gruesome films of the 1980s that I can remember watching. UNINVITED is no classic, but for lovers of cheesy '80s horror it's a real treat.
View More(Plot) A mutated cat escapes and somehow manages to hop aboard a yacht to wreak havoc, and kill people. I haven't seen many movies that are as bad as this one. It does have moment's of cheesy fun, in a so bad its good way, but it's quite dull a lot of the time as well. Let's start off by how cheap looking it is. Despite that a lot of this takes place on an expensive looking Yacht, it can't cover up the amateurish production values. At the very start of the movie, the screen says "Amazing movies presents" Either that was supposed to be a joke, or they really were that arrogant, and actually thought this laughable junk was a good idea. The cat himself is ridiculous. When it transforms, it looks like a dog or something is coming out of it. It was rather tough to make out what it was, but it came across extremely poorly. A mutated cat doesn't intimidate me what so ever. How does it manage to do the things it does? How does it survive so many incredulous predicaments? I had many questions that never got answered. There is gore here, and things do get bloody. We get some very gory cat bites, grisly effects from the bites. My favorite is when Clu Gulager spits booze on the cat. It hisses succinctly before mutating. I laughed my ass off. Toni Hudson (Rachel) is good eye candy, and that's about it. Stars like George Kennedy & Clu Gulager are clearly desperate for a paycheck to pay off some bills. Why else would they star in this crap? Final Thoughts: Too inconsistent to be fully entertaining in a so bad, it's good way. It's one of the worst movie's I've ever seen, and I've seen WAY too many movies. That is saying something, isn't it? There is a reason this went to DTV in lieu of getting a theatrical release. DUD(out of 10)
View More"Uninvited" is a hilariously bad horror flick about a cute cat,who transforms into hideous mutant thirsty for human blood.Greydon's Clark killer cat is an obvious puppet.Either it's a mutated cat that has a small demon spawn living in its belly or the cat is able to turn itself inside out,morphing into a mangled creature with razor sharp teeth.A genetic laboratory looses control of a house-cat infected with a malignant genetically-engineered virus.As the death-toll rises during its savage rampage,the feline-abomination is brought aboard the ship of a criminal king-pin by two sexy co-eds."Uninvited" is a cheesy trash of the highest caliber with utterly laughable monster and solid acting of George Kennedy,Alex Cord and Clu Gulager.I had a fun time watching it and I gladly recommend this cinematic oddity to anyone interested in B-movies.6 out of 10.
View MoreA group of scientists accidentally let a cute cuddly cat escape from their lab. What's so scary about a cute feline that one could possibly see on LOLcats?? Well this cat has a smaller badder mutant cat living inside it's mouth that comes out to kill people. (and sometimes grows to be the size of a biggish dog) Now don't you feel silly for asking. Anyways, after the dastardly pussy escapes we catch up with two gals dressed in the most atrocious '80's garb being invited to a mafioso's yacht party along with three other jackasses as well as cat whom shows up unexpectedly trapped in a box. Then the fun starts... Well maybe 'fun' isn't the right word, the idea is somewhat original, but a Chinese film by the name of "Xiong mao" or translated as Evil Cat came out a year before this and is light years better then this one in every way, shape and form. This film has nothing going for it at all other then genre great George Kennedy in a supporting role (he's still under used). I suggest looking up the film "Evil Cat" and leaving this one in the litter box.My Grade: DDVD Extras: Only Trailers for "Tokyo!", "One Eyed Monster", "Just Buried" (this DVD pairs this film with "Night Shadows" here under its alternate title of "Mutant")
