Editorial Review: Description: Screen star Robert Clarke, legendary science fiction leading man of the 1950s, produced, directed and starred in this Atomic Age chiller about a scientist that turns into a hideous prehistoric creature when exposed to the sun's deadly rays. This is it! The original cult classic, filled with tense radioactive atmosphere, as the Sun Demon stalks his prey while his primordial mating urges go berserk! An excellent modern-day horror screamer filled with murder, monsters, radioactive isotopes and a sizzling blonde babe with gravity-defying assets. Bring your sunglasses and tanning oil because "The Hideous Sun Demon" is on the loose! Amazon.com: The Hideous Sun Demon is almost too wonderful to be believed. Scientist Dr. Gilbert McKenna drops his sample--oops!--of "a new isotope that has never existed in nature before" and consequently receives a massive dose of radiation. As so often happens in these cases, the results are gruesome and tragic--whenever he is exposed to sunlight Gil turns into a lizard man, driven to kill. "You mean a human being could evolve backwards through time?" asks the plucky Miss Lansing. Alas, her question can only be answered with a yes. Well, a yes and some hilarious "scientific" proof. Even though he becomes a murderous reptile at the pull of a curtain, some obscure legal statute says that Gil can't be kept in the hospital against his will. Full of whiskey and self-pity, he heads out on his own, a time bomb ready to go off the minute he runs out of zinc oxide. The pleasures of The Hideous Sun Demon are many: rubber lizard suits, headlines reading "Weird Killer Still at Large," a lounge singer named Trudy with an unusually lopsided piano playing style, and day-for-night sequences in which the night is so bright that one cannot see the actors' faces. Truly, a movie that must be experienced in DVD. --Ali Davis Average Rating:
 Rating:  - b-monster flick that has its good pointsAs a connoisseur of 50's scifi monsters - if not invading aliens, they almost invariably involve radiation, mutation, and murder - this is a pretty good one. Rubber suit and all, Sun Demon has good characters, from the affected scientist-turned-beast to his girls. He struggles to do the right thing, but, well, fails. Then it gets gruesome, before becoming a chase. As a kid, I remember wanting to see this, but couldn't because "it was playing in a bad neighborhood", so now I have finally realized ...

A classic, dramatic and racy tale which will leave you glued to your set until the end. And, a little known fact.... This is the only movie to have the honor of capturing Robert Hafner on film. Hafner was the writer of the hit single "Commanchee" that was used in the Gimp/Chainsaw scene in Pulp Fiction (and on the soundtrack CD). Hafner is seated at a table in a bar scene in the Sun Demon. That itself is a gem of a bonus. ...

Rating: - Robert Clarke's vanity projectwell, sort of! This wonderfully bad man/lizard flick contains some surprisingly creative camera work. The story is of interest as it plays up the psychological ramifications of the atomic-exposure-gone-wrong story line. Robert Clarke stars, directs and produces so he's totally responsible for this thing, if you like it or if you absolutely adore it.And oh yeah! he gets to kiss all of the young women! How convenient! So, what we have here is a drunken atomic scientists who drops a vial of some ...

The DVD comes with a second DVD which is called "return of" it's the same movie with a voice over dubbed like Mystery Science Theater 3000. Funny and worth picking up."
