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.
