This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

At a secluded biochemical lab, which runs cruel tests on animals, a seemingly innocent looking cat has just escaped, but beneath its furry exterior, a terrifying monster has been seeded, emerging to brutally maim and kill anyone it finds threatening. Discovered by a group of teenage spring breakers and brought aboard a luxury yacht bound for the Cayman Islands, the cuddly fluff ball quickly begins gnawing away at the ship's guests and crew. But to make matters even worse, it's soon revealed that the cruise's host, a renowned multimillionaire, is in fact on the run from the law and won't return the boat to shore, killer mutant cat be damned!

A mind-boggling piece of late 80s horror weirdness, mixing low-fi creature effects, explosive gore, crime thriller subplots, and a fairly logical cat monster, Greydon Clark's (JOYSTICKS) UNINVITED stars George Kennedy (DEATH SHIP), Alex Cord (THE DEAD ARE ALIVE), and legendary character actor Clu Gulager (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD). Vinegar Syndrome proudly brings this video store classic to Blu-ray, newly restored in 4k from its 35mm camera negative and includes a previously unreleased international cut which features exclusive footage, including an alternate ending!

Reviews

It's in my blood!

"I grew up with this dumb movie thanks to USA network and now I can grow old with this dumb movie thanks to VS."

Ryan Z. (5/5)

Bizarro fun little horror film.

"Totally ridiculous. Reversible insert art is really great. Love to see that. Fun film and worth the purchase during the RAD sale."

Mike K. (5/5)

Cats, boats, bimbos...

"A very unusual creature feature...fitting release for vinegar syndrome. Setup was decent but the film drags....bad special effects, no nudity or sleaze, annoying characters and a silly cat monster. Boring imo"

Shawn R. (3/5)

Animal horror

"One of the better horror films involving animals from this era. Great effects throughout."

Charles W. (5/5)

Cat Monster!!!

"Supremely goofy but lovable cult 80’s film. Great restoration by VS- looks and sounds great with several extra features. Makes for very fun viewing when you’re in the mood for something jaw-dropping and silly!"

Brandon T. (4/5)

Such a nice fluffy kitty

"This movie is SO hot. Love this movie."

Benjamin H. (5/5)

Uninvited

"This film is a good time, especially if you love cat puppets. It's a Creature Feature where the creature hides among us inside of a cat. What's not to like."

Jonathan B. (4/5)

Great Party Movie

"Watched this with some freinds and some beers and it went down a treat. Maybhave struggled if I was on my own. Awfull lot of talking on the boat."

Jack (4/5)

Fun little movie

"Weird concept, and silly monsters, but it still ends up being more entertaining than you'd expect."

David R. (4/5)

Incomprehensibly daft and huge fun,

"Incomprehensibly daft and huge fun, this is about a cat infected with a genetically engineered virus on a ship, going on a killing spree. Sounds amazing already, doesn't it! Featuring a barely mobile George Kennedy and Alex Cord (I generally associate him with Airwolf). The effects are pretty bad, the storyline is dumb and really it's completely stupid, yet it's amazing fun. We watched it on a film night and everyone had a great time. Also a huge hit on Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst. It had a stunning slipcover too, which can still be purchased using loyalty points through the VSMC deal. Highly recommended!"
