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.

Psychic Killer (1975)

My rating: 4/10

Surprisingly dull and plodding, for a movie about a guy killing people with his mind, with a rather nasty misogynistic streak throughout. Highlights, which are few and far between, include

- the guy having visions of the people he hates being cartoonishly, over-the-top evil

- a rather cute cat

- that one horny police guy being driven off a cliff so we don't have to look at his awful jacket anymore.

Beyond that, there just isn't much here, and certainly nothing that can hold a candle to Dr. Phibes in terms of medical malpractice revenge thrillers.

Without Warning messed me up. 😂 That casual scene in the living room was the fuel for many a perimeter search before bed. Rivaled only when I ran into “Bob” from Twin Peaks in the 90’s. Another great reason to see Without Warning is that it was the blueprint for the movie Predator seven years later!
