The Hideous Sun Demon (1958)

Recap:

So there is this scientist who is bitten by a new radioactive isotope. From now on the sunlight temporarily reevolves him into an incredible and green lizard man. Thus he avoids the sunlight as good as he can but turns out to be quite incompetent. He kills a mobster in self defense, and what’s worse: while on the run from the police he hits a person with his car, a person who is a copper, so the homicidal monster is hunted down by coppers hungry for revenge.

What I think is interesting about this movie: four years later, in 1962, another scientist was bitten by a radioactive isotope, and from then on anger was the catalyst that temporarily turned him into an incredible and green hulk. So I like to imagine that Stan Lee has watched this movie before he invented the Incredible Hulk. This, of course, is not really probable since the Hulk was all grey in the first issues until a coloring error looked even better. Yet I cherish the thought.

Apart from that, the movie is, well, okay. I like monster horror, I like vintage movies, and if you like the same this is just right for your regular fix.
