History Film / Uninvited1988

* NeverTrustATitle: The cat monster technically ''isn't'' uninvited, as the human characters bring it onto the yacht with them.

* DeathBySex: Corey sleeps with Suzanne, and Lance tries to sleep with Bobbie. And all four end up dead.

* BizarreAlienBiology: The cat monster has such a massive case of this it ends up causing some [[PlotHoles plot holes]]. Basically, it looks like an ordinary cat but also has a [[MatryoshkaObject smaller mutant cat monster living inside it]]. In most of the attack scenes, the cat monster emerges part way from the host cat's mouth (as shown in the picture) to attack someone. However, we see later that the cat monster can leave the host cat, which falls into a vegetative state whenever the cat monster is outside of it, for no apparent reason. The oddest part is that [[YourSizeMayVary the cat monster is much bigger when it's outside the host cat (probably even bigger than the host, in fact)]], meaning it must have some kind of offscreen SizeShifter powers. Why they made the whole thing so complicated is unknown, although [[WildMassGuessing it may have been originally intended as some kind of shapeshifter, but the special effects for that weren't in the budget.]]

* AttemptedRape: Walter tries to force himself on Bobbie, he is then thwarted by Lance, who in turn is stopped from clobbering him by Mike with a gun.
* BodyHorror: Bite from the mutant cat leaves its victim in a painful pulsating state before death.

* ClosedCircle: The yacht. Enforced by the that its owner Walter is on the run from the law, and refuses all attempts to take it back. The fact that the mutant cat managed to sabotage its engine doesn't help matters.

* TheEndOrIsIt: The film ends with the surviving characters safely back on shore [[spoiler: with Walter's money]], recounting their story to a helpful official (who assumes they're just traumatised)...as a child finds another cat in the surf.

* StockSoundEffects: Same sound of effect of glass breaking is repeated over dozen times when the mutant cat crashes the pickup.
* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Whatever the cat nibbles on, it becomes contaminated. This leads to Suzanne's death when she is killed by a corn flake.
