Demon of Paradise is a 1987 horror film shot in the Philippines and directed by Cirio H. Santiago.

The film is set in Hawaii and features fire-twirling women who participate in rituals to appease the awakened monster.

The hunters become the prey when illegal dynamite fishing prematurely ends the hibernation of a mythological beast known as Akua which lives in the lake.

The owner of the local resort, whose patrons have become the prey of the monster, and a woman herpetologist join forces with the sheriff to save the tourists from succumbing to the fury of the beast.

[1] Paul Ryan from Digital Retribution, who had previously given the film's predecessor Up from the Depths a negative review, gave this film a more positive review stating, "Better made and directed than its predecessor, Demon of Paradise is, while entirely unmemorable, at least easier to sit through.
