The Uninvited is the story of a group of college students,Wallstreet criminals, a cat and their yacht trip to the Cayman Islands. Sounds like an ordinary fun little cruise right? Well I suppose I forgot to mention that this seemingly ordinary feline is an escaped test subject from a secret organization that's never elaborated upon. When threatened, this cat vomits out another demonic cat (I dont know if it's actually a cat. I can't tell what the fuck this thing is.) This mutated pussy has a venomous bite that kills within minutes. Will our lovable gang make it to paradise on the islands?
A cat that vomits up another cat! Why? Can't the cat itself just be a killer? Hard to imagine as the film manages to choose one of the most adorable seemingly harmless cats imaginable. The special effects are an absolute mess. From toy boats, easy gore, all the way to this joke of a hand puppet killer cat. Even when the cat is meowing (which is constantly) it's just dubbed over a cat that is clearly not moving it's mouth at all. If you're hoping for some top notch special effects with your killer cat feature (what?) you're gonna have to look elsewhere.
The acting is of course, awful. The younger actors deliver their lines with the enthusiasm of a sleepwalker. Meanwhile the older cast members ham it up and goof their way through the script. The story is what it is. Several elements go unexplained. One particular moment is the ending. Somehow or orange long haired antagonist is transformed into a black short hair cat for no feasible reason! I guess its wrong of me to expect any sort of logic in a film about a cat that vomits up a killer cat. Repeatedly.
I'm not really sure how many killer cat movies there are out there. I'm sure there are at least a couple more. If that's what you're looking for, this film has a high body count and enough cheese to keep you and your friends laughing. It's not a good movie by any means. But you could without a doubt find one a lot less entertaining. Watch this one for laughs, not for actual frights.
