A dark shadow hangs over the African desert, and in its wake lies a trail of bodies. He is the Dust Devil, and he rides on the winds collecting the souls of the desperate and weak of heart. As he sets off across the desert to collect his latest victim, he is followed by a persistent policeman whose fifteen year pursuit will finally draw him into a final confrontation with the devil! DUST DEVIL is Richard Stanley's magnum opus, a film that is simply too good for the Horror genre. Stanley is a supreme visualist, who is able to tell a captivating story through images, alone. His impeccable style mesmerizes the audience in DUST DEVIL, as each shot has been planned out to perfection. The African landscape comes to life in ways that many people never thought imaginable, to the point where it becomes a surreal painting. In its extended cut, Stanley achieves all of the same abstract mysticism and dreamy suspense as Alejandro Jodorowsky or David Lynch ever have. The film is otherwise beyond compare. Robert Burke plays a powerful villain, often losing himself in the character. He is charming and mysterious, easily winning the affection of his intended victims in their final moment of weakness. With stunning cinematography and a gripping story, DUST DEVIL is essential viewing for all Horror fans!
Rating: 9/10.
