CRUISING: CULT FILMS & CONVERSATION

A weekly cinema social that pairs cult, curious and classic cinema with friendly film chat in the Theatreship bar.

• CRUISING #06: UNINVITED
• Director: Greydon Clark (1988 / USA / English / 91mins)
• Stars: George Kennedy, Alex Cord, Clu Gulager, Toni Hudson
• Event: Doors 5:00pm / Intro + film 6pm / Bar social afterwards / Adults 18+ only
• A mutant cat escapes from a vivisection lab and goes on a killing spree onboard a luxury yacht.

Critical opinion is divided on Greydon Clark’s 1988 low-budget horror show, UNINVITED. 

Writing in The Gorehound’s Guide to Splatter Films of the 1980s, Scott Aaron Stine lists the film’s many perceived faults: “An awful hand-puppet style critter, shoddy gore, model-in-a-bathtub miniatures, and the worst overdubbing of cat noises to grace a bad horror film.” 

In complete contrast, American Genre Film Archive celebrates the film’s iconic cacophony of mayhem: “This is exceptional 1980s trash-horror chaos that is only gifted to our planet once or twice every millennium.”

Are you brave enough to experience the feline horror of UNINVITED in the unique setting of Theatreship? All survivors are invited to join Token Homo in the bar afterwards to celebrate the history of cats in horror and our first sensational season of CRUISING.

Queer-led, CRUISING promotes inclusion through accessible programming, vibrant hosting, radical film histories, and a diverse lineup of guests with their own distinctive voices. All films are served with introductions by Token Homo and post-screening conversations in the venue bar. For adults aged 18+ only.
