Invitation from Alice -Welcome to the Cheshire Cat Hotel- has this quirky, offbeat vibe that draws you in. Jack Wilkins, or Ernest Milton as he prefers, stumbles into this bizarre hotel with its oddball staff and whimsical atmosphere. The pacing kind of lulls you into this dreamy acceptance of the strange happenings around him, making you question reality. There's not much known about the director, which adds a layer of mystery, and while the effects are practical, they evoke a charm reminiscent of early 90s fantasy. The performances have this curious blend of sincerity and peculiarity that keeps you intrigued, creating a unique viewing experience that feels like a half-remembered dream.
This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with its obscure director and limited release making it hard to track down. It's been released on a couple of formats, but not widely, which adds to its allure. Collectors interested in niche fantasy films from the 90s might find it particularly appealing due to its unique atmosphere and the peculiar narrative style that sets it apart from more mainstream offerings.
