Dust Devil Movie Review

Three travelers find themselves in Africa's vast Namibia desert: a policeman (Zakes Mokae), a woman on the run (Chelsea Field), and her abusive husband. They all have the misfortune of meeting up with an evil spirit trapped in human form. This supernatural being, known as the “Dust Devil” (Robert Burke), must kill, stealing as many souls as he can, in order to re-enter the spiritual realm. Well acted and stylized, this one puts some good quirky twists on the serial killer theme.

1993 (R) 87m/C Robert Burke, Chelsea Field, Zakes Mokae, Rufus Swart, John Matshikiza, William Hootkins, Marianne Sagebrecht; D: Richard Stanley; W: Richard Stanley; M: Simon Boswell. VHS, Beta PAR
