About This Movie

So, 'What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon' is this bizarre little gem that takes a Z-grade horror flick like 'The Hideous Sun Demon' and mashes it into a comedy of sorts. The atmosphere is definitely campy, with that low-budget charm that just screams 80s. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but that just adds to the absurdity of it all. You get these wild practical effects and the over-the-top performances that make you appreciate the sheer audacity of the whole project. It's like they took a concept that was already kind of silly and cranked it to eleven. And the idea of suntan lotion working from the inside out? It's just so ridiculous yet oddly fitting for the genre blend they’re going for here.

Notorious for its re-dubbing and editing quirks.Interesting blend of horror and comedy.Great for fans of low-budget genre mash-ups.
