Review of Uninvited

This is an impressively bad film about a mutant cat involved in research experiments that has escaped from its lab. Found and adored by Suzanne, it is taken on board a yacht along with a few other typically horny teenagers and the yachts owner who is a sleazy gangster. In fact the whole premise of how this mismatched bunch ends up on the yacht together is outside of the realms of comprehension, nevertheless this serves as the backdrop to the murderous happenings once on-board.

The scenes were the cat's mutant crawls out of its mouth are laughable as it cuts to close-ups of a cute-looking stuffed toy. The victims die a comic and often loud death, the actors clearly hoping that the louder they squeal, the more you'll ignore the awful acting. The scenes with the 'normal' cat walking round are very adorable and the director fails to make the audience feel any tension when it is in the room. After all, it's only a cat. This, coupled with the awful narrative and continuity errors make the film a true flop. The cat actually starts off being rather moral with its dishing out of revenge against a mugger and attacker and then for no reason whatsoever, abandons its moral compass to start killing indiscriminately. Watch this for laughs, not story-telling ingenuity.
