A scientist, Gilbert McKenna has an accident where he is exposed to high levels of radiation. Surprisingly this does not kill him but instead leaves him unable to be exposed to sunlight. Whenever exposed to sunlight, McKenna devolves into a lizard man with homicidal tendencies. After having a brief fling with a nightclub singer, and killing her boyfriend, McKenna is on the lam from the police which culminates in a one on one battle on top of a tower. Great monster costume and Shatner type acting from Clarke are the most memorable parts of this great 1950s creature feature.

| User ReviewWill "the Thrill" VOne of my favorites since I was a kid, love that monster suit! |
| User ReviewBrian SAn ingenious and original film, is great in the way it puts a very original twist to the werewolf legend though it really isn't a werewolf film. It has good acting, foreboding atmosphere and a great monster! This is little known monster movie that deserves more credibility. It would be very nice if this film was remake,and I would go see it! |
| User ReviewWK JOnje of my favorite monster designs of the 50's. |
| User ReviewRoy CDumb, badly acted 1959 sci-fi/horror type deal. Still, it was a lot of fun. |
| User ReviewStefan BThis is one of the B monster flicks of the 50's you watch BECAUSE it's bad! With performances as poorly mellow dramatic as an actor can muster, and the bad day-for-night scenes to match, this film is just a work of 3rd grade chewing-gum art. And I'll bet the costume for the oh-so hideous Sun Demon had to be returned to Party City or Spencer's Gifts after production just to get some of their money back. If anything kept Robert Clark in business, it was his ability to spend as little as possible on so many movies at once that it was practically impossible to get some profit out of his films. No matter how small. Good entertainment if you're looking for laughs. |
| User ReviewZoran SThis starts off ok but gets kinda boring fast. |
