***Lizard-man on the loose in the Philippines, er, I mean Hawaii*** Dynamite used for illegal fishing awakens a man-like lizard creature on a Hawaiian island, which draws the attention of the local sheriff (William Steis) and a marine biologist (Kathryn Witt). A resort owner (Laura Banks) takes advantage of the region’s mythological monster to attract business, but the situation turns horrific when bodies mount up. "Demon of Paradise" (1987) is a creature feature that mixes the basic plot of “Jaws” (1975) with “The Great Alligator” (1979) and “Gargoyles” (1972). The helicopter scene from “Jaws 2” (1978) is ripped off, but is sophomoric by comparison. Some have called it an unacknowledged Filipino remake of “Up from the Depths” (1979) by the producer of that movie, Cirio H. Santiago, albeit with a different monster. While the events purportedly take place in Hawaii, the scenery appears like the Philippines and the natives look like Filipinos, obviously because that’s where it was shot. If you can get past that and the low-rent opening credits, this is a decent creature feature with a relatively unique-looking monster. I was expecting something more along the lines of the Gill-Man from “Creature of the Black Lagoon” (1954) or the creatures from “Humanoids of the Deep” (1980), and there’s a little of that, of course, but it’s different enough and effective enough. The sheriff and marine biologist make for stalwart and likable protagonists, but they’re offset by the shrill Banks (the resort owner) and the trying-too-hard to be “comedic” Frederick Bailey. Meanwhile the beauty department is limited to the too-thin tall blonde Leslie Scarborough. The film runs 1 hour, 27 minutes. GRADE: C
