This film virtually evades falling into any type of horror genre you could think of: it's part sci-fi, part slasher, part comedy!!!
A fluffy house cat escapes from some random laboratory and is adopted by two bimbos who've been invited to cruise down to the Bahamas with mobster Alex Cord and take the cat with them for good luck. Said kitty has some kind of rat-bat thing living inside it that emerges when kitty gets pi***ed off and then shreds anyone who comes too close - including henchmen George Kennedy and Clu Gulager!
It's pretty funny stuff with a typical sequel-friendly ending (that was thankfully never taken up) and some really cheesy moments. Only for the voyeurs of crap cinema. I kinda liked it.

A really contrived set of circumstances leaves a group of fun-seeking Fort Lauderdale spring breakers stranded at sea on a luxury yacht with some desperate criminals and a mutated killer cat for company.
Uninvited is, to be completely honest, a total mess of a movie, with a ridiculous set-up, an incredibly unconvincing monster, and moments of utter tedium. On the flip side, it frequently enters 'so bad, it's good' territory, features a pair of extremely hot '80s babes (Clare Carey and Shari Shattuck, who spend most of their time in skimpy bikinis), and chucks in some reasonable gore (including some nifty 'erupting veins' bladder effects), making it one not to miss for fans of Z-grade trashy schlock.
Try not to laugh whenever the moth-eaten moggie hand puppet barfs up a rubber parasitic mutant twice its size!! Marvel as buff beauty Bobbie (Carey) performs an unenthusiastic aerobics routine!! And wonder in incredulity at how Oscar winner George Kennedy wound up appearing in such tacky crud.
4.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 5 for Clu Gulager's goofy teeth and bottle glasses, and that really bad sinking model yacht at the end.

Uninvited must surely rank as one of the baddest movies ever made. And in the same time it's also one of the most entertaining Horror/ Or-whatever-you-wanna-call-it-movie. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. it simply has everything. A small orange cat which has a monster inside, very bad special effects (Small toy boats, handpuppets, badly coloured blood to name a few. And then there's of course the bad acting, very ridiculous storyline and so forth. Still it's entertainment value is just over the edge. So all in all this movie mixed with a bad hangover, some beers and good friends, it's an unforgettable experience. 5 out of 6 stars..
I had heard about this film from a group on Facebook that posts strange movies like this one. I had never heard of this killer cat movie featuring stars George Kennedy and Clu Culager; granted, Clu puts on one of the goofiest performances of his career and he seems to be disguising himself too as he probably isn't proud of this one. My thinking is they were going for a Return of the Living Dead type thing mixing humor and horror with a sprinkling of old and up and coming stars or something, but it fails as it is not humorous and the horror is too tame as they went for a PG-13 rating. It also featured a rather insane premise.
The story has a kitty escaping a research facility, it harbors something sinister within! Meanwhile, some gangster type dudes are doing there thing and they need to get somewhere on their boat. Teens wanting to party want to go on the cool boat and the main mobster type wants the girls there, but he did not count on the girls, but he needs to get out fast so he uses the teens as his crew. The girls flirt with the guy and make it like they are interested, so we all know what the mob guy thinks; however, the kitty slips aboard too and soon reveals itself to be a killer! Well, they did show it killing earlier so no surprise there.
The premise of a killer kitty is kind of laughable, but this film takes it the extra mile as the cat is just a regular cat; no, the killer kitty is within the regular kitty and comes out and kills! It is poisonous too, so you have a cat that has another killer cat inside that can kill with its bite! Apparently, the makers of this film were on some drugs and this sounded really good in their heads.
So, the film is worth a watch if just for the insane premise and to riff on. Poor George does not look like he wants to be in this film and I cannot say I blame him. Clu hams it up, but probably had a bit more fun with the role. I did not care for any of the teens and was not exactly rooting for them or the mob guy. I was firmly in the cat's corner. So, if you want to see a film that has a cat that has a killer cat in it, this is your film! I am also pretty sure this is the only film that has that premise...

A 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: D
DVD 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")

I have no idea what in the world encouraged me to re-watch UNINVITED... Well, yeah, I do know: I wanted to have a laugh and see if it really was as bad as I remembered it to be when I rented it back during the 90's. And, yes, it's as bad as they come. Terror at sea, when a group of gangsters and teenagers have to battle a mutant cat (yes, that's a common house-cat with a parasite inside of it) on a cruise ship. Very, very bad movie but George Kennedy dies a wonderful death! Poor George, what the hell was this guy doing with his career in the 80's? Wonderfully imbecilic dialogues, poor characters with puzzling motives and utterly scary creature effects (for those who find mutant cat hand-puppets scary). And UNINVITED has one of those typically retarded frozen shock endings. I have to admit, I didn't mind re-watching it. Not at all. To be filed under "So bad, it's a hoot!".

As far as unhinged, over-the-top, implausible and utterly farcical 80's horror movie plot formulas go, "Uninvited" most definitely takes the cake! The idea of a mutating cat barfing up a killer creature resembling a hybrid between a bat and a bowl of rotting placenta is already quite crackpot, but even more inconceivable is how literally everything in this film happens so impulsively and indifferent, like they are the most common events to occur in life! A cute and fluffy ginger pussycat with a monstrous mutant inside of its body escapes from a science lab (why would anyone do such an experiment in the first place?) and aimlessly wanders around a touristy beach community. Nearby a trio of ageing frauds prepare a clean getaway on their yacht, still one of them insists on picking up two young and empty-headed girls in bikini first. Supposedly to keep a low profile. Yeah
right! The girls then invite three random guys they *just* met on the pier and even bring the deadly putty-cat aboard. We're supposed to believe all this because
life is really that easy? Anyhow, subsequently nothing happens for quite a while until - thank God - the cat pukes out its monstrous insides and the characters die in order of annoyance. The rating and reviews don't lie: "Uninvited" truly is a horrible and hilarious (for all the wrong reasons) B-movie. The narrative structure is wildly uneven. Sometimes nothing happens for twenty minutes straight and then suddenly three or four people die in less than two minutes. The make-up effects are far beyond cheesy and inept, with 'scary' hand-puppets that wouldn't even upset a two-year-old child and supposedly virulent cat attacks that are actually rather tame. The dialogs and performances are so tacky you'll feel the desire to rip off your own ears and feed 'em to the cat. If you think you've endured everything then, just wait until you witness the finale, which is without exaggerating the most moronic ending I've ever seen in my life. "Uninvited" stars veteran horror actor George Kennedy ("Death Ship", "Virus", "The Terror Within") but exactly like the character he depicts he wonders what the hell he's doing in yet another lousy horror movie and once again surrounded by an ensemble cast of untalented nobodies. Poor, poor George
There definitely is some fun to be had with "Uninvited", but only if you leave your brains at the door and replace the inside of your skull with gallons and gallons of beer.
This movie is really, really bad. So bad you owe it tou yourself to see it. Especially the within the cat, it is just so awesomely fake.
The humans are pretty bad as well, but they don't hold a candle to the fluffy little kitty.

This movie is so much fun. The cat is awesome. The physical effects are grade school theatre quality. And the acting is campy and wonderful. I will 100% watch this movie again. Also, the cat meow track is a new level of wonderfully crappy filmmaking.

Don't get me wrong, I love bad movies. My favorites are ones that are laughably bad. While this movie has a few of these bad/great moments, the time in between just drags on and on. Keep an eye out for the killer puppet (with hand attached), who is still a better actor than anyone else in the movie.

Ha! Well let me see here, this is one of the most oddest horror flicks I have ever seen in my life. It's about a mutant cat that goes around killing people. A monster that looks like a beaver on crack jumps out of the cat's mouth and bites people. Who in the h*ll thought of this? Who ever wrote this movie was on crack. To be honest whenever the creature pops out of the cat's mouth it looks like the cat is giving birth the wrong way. There's even a scene where a truck drives off a bridge and it turns in to a different truck. First before it falls off the bridge it's a Dodge, then when it goes off it's a Ford. What is this? My god what a waste of money. George Kennedy is in it and boy did he make a mistake. If you see this movie on the self at your local movie store, AVOID!!!!!!!! Trust me, unless you like movies with cat's that look like there giving birth the wrong way, avoid it!. I give this movie a 1 out of ten, just because George Kennedy was in it.

A scientific corporation of ill repute loses control of its test subject-- a poisonous, mutant cat
This was one bizarre movie, I did liked how the flowed , there were some calm scenes and the cool bloody scenes in this movie.
There were some really ad scenes in this, i loved it cause some of scene were so bad that they were funny.
There were some decent gory scenes in this movie for the PG 13 in 80's and did like the idea of plot, some scenes were done right at time.
Really odd B-movie 4/5 out of 10

Terrible horrible no good really bad movie. Only watch the RiffTrax version.
I was super lucky not to have found this movie for 27 years. Too late I read the reviews and had to see the movie.
There are dozens of movies full of Cujo's, Cujo (1983), and Christine's, Christine (1983), but no one cares about felines. The only make them familiars, Meine Braut ist übersinnlich (1958). Finally, these little cuties come into their own.
A little cutie pie escapes an experimental station. He has a nasty habit of nibbling on mostly bad guys. Of course, the movie has tempting tasty girls. The movie is quite dated and it has a made for TV feel. The version I saw was 1080P so I wonder if this has been remastered.
The plot is cutie pie gets stuck on a boat at sea. Now what is there to eat? Will "we" become cat-chow?

I kinda thought this movie would be a fun, cheap and silly horror, it does have its moments but mostly it's just a bit boring with a fun cheesy effect every so often. Bit disappointed with this one.

"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.

This movie was made by a company called Amazing Movies, but the only amazing thing is that George Kennedy is in it. Why? Such a fine actor in such a terrible movie. Either he was desperate for money or was friends with the director or was forced to be in it (maybe at gunpoint or through blackmail). The only reason to watch this is to laugh about the cheesy cat attacks. Unfortunately, there are far too many dull moments between them.

All I can say is yes this film is very cheaply made,however,what do you expect when you rent a film about a killer cat with a rabid mutant in its mouth? Its made for kicks,though the only good acting was from the cat,and the rest of the cast was laughably bored.Though I admit I like this film,for the simple fact I love cats.(even though they are all horrible movies,I mean killer cats? Cujo worked and was convincing,but killer cats? Give me a break).It was a nice try and an original idea,though cheap effects and bad acting ruin the film.To bad they never made a sequel! I would have rented it!
