Uninvited (1987)

1987’s Uninvited is a delightfully ridiculous horror film. Right out of the gate, this picture has to bend over backward to try and make its monster threatening and none of its attempts work. The results are everything you want from a bad movie: the characters are outlandish, the monster unconvincing and the premise was doomed from the start. The only thing "wrong" with it is that it doesn’t quite commit to any sort of rating. It’s got a couple of sleazy scenes that would make you feel awkward if you showed it to your coworkers but it doesn’t contain any nudity so it isn’t as trashy as it could be. Nevertheless, it’s a great time - for all the wrong reasons.

A mutated cat escapes from a genetic research facility and makes its way onto a luxury yacht headed to the Cayman Islands. Meanwhile, multimillionaire Walter “Wall Street” Graham (Alex Cord) and his associates Mike Harvey (Mike Harvey) and Albert (Clu Gulager) need to quickly leave the country to avoid criminal prosecution. They agree to let spring breakers Suzanne (Shari Shattuck), Bobbie (Clare Carey), Martin (Eric Larson), Corey (Rob Estes) and Lance (Beau Dremann) man their ship under the watch of Captain Rachel (Toni Hudson), unaware that a threat is hiding below deck.

The movie's poster shows a ferocious, possibly gigantic and ghostly cat. Actually, we’re dealing with a bizarre creation. It’s sort of a skinless mutant cat that lives inside the stomach of other cats (meaning it looks like a normal house pet most of the time) and emerges from the host kitty’s mouth to attack. Sounds gross, but not exactly threatening and sensing this, writer/director/producer Greydon Clark also gave it a venomous bite that will make your veins bulge until your heart explodes. Still not threatening enough? The thing’s venom is so potent that the food it touches is lethally contaminated. This becomes important during the second half of the film. By then, the beast has wrecked the ship’s controls and everyone onboard is stuck in the middle of the ocean, waiting to be rescued. Supplies start running out and everyone is worried about starving to death. You feel like asking “Was the mutant, venomous cat not enough?” but then catch yourself. Even with the lethal bite, a monster the size of a house pet (granted, it seems to change size from scene to scene) wouldn’t be that hard to deal with. Clark HAD to find some way to make the movie longer, hence the dilemma about the poisoned food.

The deadly feline never ceases to be funny and provides most, but not all, of the film’s unintentional laughs. Walter Graham is almost as hilarious because the character is a cartoon. This movie was made in the 80s. He’s Wall Street rich. He’s a villain. That’s all you need to know about him. You can predict every one of his moves. Third place goes to a couple that forms as the plot develops. I don’t want to say who it is because it would be spoiling things but I just want to say that one of them gets bitten by the cat. The way the creature gets the jump on them is laugh-out-loud funny and it only gets better from there. We’ve established at this point that the bite is fatal but even so, this person gives up so quickly you kind of can’t believe your eyes. The way the scene goes on from there will have your jaw on the floor.

Anyone who owns a cat will find Uninvited extra funny. The creature is constantly making cat noises that never match the animal’s behavior. Even someone who has never seen a cat in their life will recognize that this entire plot could be easily resolved if the characters had a half-decent brain between the nine of them. There are a lot of horror films with Uninvited in the title. I haven’t seen many of them but I can almost guarantee that this is the worst of the lot. It may also be the most entertaining.

Uninvited

If you thought the infamous mutant killer bunny film NIGHT OF THE LEPUS (1972) was really really scary, then Greydon Clark’s mutant killer cat film UNINVITED (1987, Shudder, Tubi) is the fancy feast for you. Of course, if you laughed your posterior off at the former, you may need medical attention after viewing the latter. Scientific experiments have left a tiger striped tabby with the ability to shoot a bad puppet out of its mouth that immediately grows to medium dog size and kills or lethally infects anybody it doesn’t like. Talk about your meow mess! An early scene in which it takes out two men after they beat and rob someone who had fed it suggests the movie that might have been. I think a killer kitty taking out miscreants would be a great concept, and I’d be happy to write it up once the WGA strike is over. And I shall call it “Pussy Revenge.” Meanwhile, in this film it’s picked up by a college girl (Shari Shattuck, clearly playing a legacy admission) on spring break who brings it on board a yacht whose corrupt owner (Alex Cord) wants to shag her. She also brings along some frisky friends to replace the crew Cord has driven off, and they all set sail for the Cayman Islands, where Cord has stashed his ill-gotten gains. The cat has other ideas. Even without the ludicrous puppet, the sight of people trying to chase down the kitty is hilarious. The attacks are so unconvincing, you may never stop laughing. Cord and fellow criminals George Kennedy and Clu Gulager don’t act as if this were a stinker hardly anybody would see. They actually deliver performances that are worth watching, and Gulager is very funny as the team’s nebbish hit man. The women, however, are hopeless, but then, I don’t think they were cast for their acting abilities.
