@@dianabeurman364 Why, yes. Every aspect of this masterpiece is imbued with cinematic genius! Orson Wells himself had a Sun Demon movie in pre production, but it was scrapped when he saw Clarke's breathtaking epic. He realized he was outclassed!
The creature looks awesome but the acting is herendous..total let down, had so much potential.wush these old movies with cool monsters n Fx were re done with better actors today, instead they just remake the same trash Over and over
One of the better makeup jobs for a lesser known movie monster. Sure I found The Hideous Sun Demon silly at times. Other than that, I was in the mood to watch a good/bad monster movie.
Great old-timey Los Angeles, cool American cars, and great monster design. The payoff with Hideous Sun Demon backed by the beautiful west coast sun before his end was great! Glorious black and white. It is hard to beat 1950s Sci-Fi! - Heather
we all just had a chat while watching this video in a lifestream. do they make this event like every sunday evening ? that was my first time watching a movie lifestream and textchatting with people, that was a new and enjoyable experience. i like the 50s, people back then talk straight, behave straight, all things appear so much more orderly and well conducted. peoples clothes look nicer, cars look nicer, furniture looks well designed, that was more interesting to see in the movie than the story they tell.
Ναι συμφωνώ απόλυτα.αν και είμαι σχετικά νέος σε ηλικία, πιστεύω ότι οι ασπρόμαυρες ταινίες είναι ξεχωριστές, και σε πάνε σε χρόνια που δεν είχαμε γεννηθεί κάν!!! Και βέβαια βλέπεις πως ήταν εκείνα τα χρόνια, σε διάφορα πράγματα.👍
This movie has much better production values than I remember. It's still watchable today. Amazes me that at 1:11:42 not one of the cops has acrophobia. And, the creature makeup is actually _quality_ makeup. Wonder how long it took to put on.
Love watching these old black and white B movies. I laughed at the costume that the "monster" was wearing. You could actually see where the bottom of the rubber head piece ended. They did great for what they had back then. I would like to see this movie remade using today's makeup and graphics.
This is fantasy, but the meaning is deeply metaphorical and lies in the fact that a person is an absolutely unstudied animal and under the influence of external factors can turn into a monster.
A pretty good b movie, just the right amount of cheesiness. Someone should have stayed with the alcoholic sun demon at his house to prevent him going out …js
Interestingly this movie's premise would find a spiritual successor in George Eastman's Metamorphosis, one of his only films as director. And honestly not a bad one!!
Thank you so much, it was fantastic watch, so entertaining and strange, i really like these kind of movies, it has something and it has atmosphere, also few good laughs when he is kicking the dog and the mouse hahaha, reptilian. Now i know from where came aliens in Enemy Mine and Nikto race in star wars :D
Still love watching this movie , one of my favorites over 50 years this 1959 movie. Nan Peterson is still alive at 92 . The hot sultry big busted blonde who also was in a twilight zone episode.
Filmele vechi sunt mai Bune poate au fost făcute când eu nu eram încă pe lume asta e părerea mea 1962 atunci mam nascutsi de atunci au trecut ani buni .
I'm confused, they watched the sun set then watched the sun rise on the same horizon . The monster looks allot like an interdimentional being capable of opening a rift between dimensions at will, it can pop in, do what it wants, then pop out , a very dangerous predator species.
This is an example of one story being based on material that has already existed. When he changes, he reminds me of Hulk or Incredible Hulk.. IDK the difference?
Can't be certain but the closing action scene... the background music composition sounds incredibly similar to the scene in Die Hard when Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) falls to his death. Give it a listen: @1:11:53
I know what you mean. I've always had collies all my life and have two now. I'd protect them with my life. Great dogs and very protective and loving of their families.
Me ha parecido un poco "forzado" el final, pero me ha gustado el tema... De esta película puede que alguien haya extraído ideas para películas posteriores...
