Uninvited Guest DVD

Uninvited Guest
The troubled marital relationship between failed screenwriter Howard (Mel Jackson) and his comely wife Debbie (Mari Marrow) gets stressed even further when a sexy stranger named Silk (Mekhi Phifer) arrives at the door of their middle-class suburban home. Silk's car has broken down, it seems, and he needs to use the telephone. Howard goes back to work on the patio with his partners, and as they hammer out pages of Howard's latest script, Debbie and her significantly single, wisecracking friend Tammy (Malinda Williams) find Silk an interesting diversion. Before long, though, it's Debbie who is nude in the hot tub with Silk -- while Howard watches, bound and gagged from a kitchen window. As it happens, Silk is a deranged fugitive wanted for murder, and suddenly the household has been taken hostage. As the body count rises, not all is as it seems. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

Uninvited Guest
It's an all African-American cast, but audiences of all colors should find this sexy, mind-bending little indie an ambitious and well-crafted B-movie. Actually, The Uninvited Guest is a nostalgic throwback to the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing genre of the late '80s and early '90s -- think The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Unlawful Entry, and The Baby Sitter -- and it's not a bad effort at that. The production values are studio-quality and the performances, if a bit over-rehearsed, are engaging enough for what's going on here: nervous flirtation and smooth-talking seduction shifting into high hysteria and murderous mayhem. On the downside, the fiendish twist comes too soon in the story and takes too long to resolve, and the false-bottom ending borders on silly. Still, The Uninvited Guest gets a qualified welcome. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
