Upon its release, the film received mostly negative reviews. By the 1980s, it became something of a cult film to horror and B-movie film fans. In 1983, an authorized, re-edited comedic spoof version entitled What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon (1989) (also known as Revenge of the Sun Demon) was released. The film's star and producer Robert Clarke agreed to re-dub his dialogue for the spoof, but reportedly later regretted being involved in the production. In 1985, Hideous Sun Demon: Special Edition was released.
