Dust Devil (DVD) ... at Optimum Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL / Dust Devil is a horror story based on the myth of a Namibian serial killer that looks more like a Western. Filmed on location in Africa where the murders allegedly took place, Chelsea Field plays Wendy Robinson, a woman, who under duress of leaving her husband, heads out to the desert to accidentally encounter the Dust Devil (Robert John Burke), a mercy killer who slays depressed women to save them from the dark side. According to locals, the Dust Devil is a demon enabling Stanley's abiding interest in world folk religions to weigh heavily in on the plot, especially when the town's witch doctor visits the beyond to unlock mysteries, or when the Dust Devil displays a box containing his victims' fingers. Dust Devil, with its cheesier horror moments, provides a dose of humor to a fairly serious package. --Trinie Dalton

Drawn towards him is Wendy, a woman escaping her husband, driving from Johannesburg into the deserts of Namibia where the film is set. The third player in the triangle is a policeman, Ben Mukurob, whose dreams are haunted by his dead son and the wife that left him after his death.

I’m not sure when I first saw Dust Devil except that it comes under that category of late one night I ended up watching some film, I know not why, and was amazed. Such is Dust Devil. Then, yesterday, I saw the DVD, and heedless of price I bought it, knowing that it is practically a ‘lost’ film, though it was only originally released in 1992. I didn’t want to get home, search the internet for the cheapest price, only to find it out of stock, out of stock. The DVD is in fact a director’s cut, or as the credits at the end note, the restored version. Miramax removed some portion of the film and I don’t know what or why. There are deleted scenes on the DVD ...  Read the complete review

Dust Devil is Richard Stanley's second feature following on from the android movie Hardware. It is a far more mabitious foray into a world of mysticism and ritual slaughter against the backdrop of South African politics. Dust Devil begins looking like your standard serial killer fare. A hitch-hiker murders a lonely widow who picks him up on the road in a horrific scene which leaves scene of the crime a bloodbath.
