Dust Devil: The Final Cut

A wayward, shape-shifting demon (Robert John Burke) does what he must to escape our material plane. What does this require? Why, serial-murder of course! Not just any kind of killing however. No, The Dust Devil must use his victims in archane rituals, where blood-letting (along w/ other body fluids) is a sacred rite. To him, we are fleshly keys to help him unlock his only means of accessing the spiritual realm. Enter Wendy (Chelsea Field), a woman who is also trying to escape something. In her case, it's her marriage, and the abuse that came w/ it. Her path will intersect with the Dust Devil's trajectory in the Namibian town of Bethany. Meanwhile, a cop named Ben (Zakes Mokae) is trying his best to do two things. One is to track down the infamous serial-killer, the other is to endure life without his long lost wife and son. These three beings- the demon, the woman, the man -will meet in a desert ghost-town in order to fulfill their destinies. DUST DEVIL is an outrageously overlooked horror masterpiece. I never tire of watching it, and highly recommend it. Richard Stanley (Hardware) has come up with a truly original and engrossing tale of life, death, and the supernatural, all played out in the barren african wastes left by generations of war. The landscape is captured beautifully, making africa seem more like the planet Mars than any earthly environment. DUST DEVIL should be owned by all horror maniacs!This one is in my top five...

The best way to describe this flick is a spaghetti western horror/fantasy set in the deserts of South Africa. It is truly amazing. The visuals and sounds are magnificent and give the film a unique feel. There is NO other film like this. All it takes is a few frames of the film to realize you are watching Dust Devil. I randomly saw this on TV while I was in the Philippines, and I was hooked. I purchased this DVD as soon as I found out there WAS a DVD! If you like horror, westerns, monster movies, and/or great movies, you owe it to yourself to see this flick!

This was recommended to me by my good friend and Amazon bud, Clint Bronson. He thought I would like it since I like horror movies with serial killers and (since I am a photographer), the beautiful cinematography. HE DID NOT STEER ME WRONG! This is by far one of the most visually perfect horror movies I ever saw.

The movie takes place in the wilds of South Africa. An American drifter and serial killer (Robert John Burke) takes to South Africa. He roams the desert, taking photos of his victims before he kills them in a ritualistic way. The first one he makes beautiful love to (and he, Dust Devil is quite handsome) and then snaps her neck. He then dismembers her and paints pictures on the wall with her blood and other products added to it, and simply moves on to the next victim. In the mean time, a unhappy housewife, Wendy (Chelsea Field), decides to leave her husband and find herself in the South African desert. She meets Dust Devil when she picks him up hitchhiking. Their paths cross a few times, she is taken in by him, but then finds out what he does. The rest is a journey to find just who or what Dust Devil is.

I found the cinematography to be visually perfect. Yes, this movie had gore,but was so well put together, directed and photographed that I really didn't see it as that gory. I saw it as a beautiful film.

I highly recommend this to any horror fans or fans that love excellent cinematography. This movie held my interest and definitely is one of the better horror films of modern times.

Also thanks M. for having it on your wish list, Clint might not have seen it. And Main Man thanks for reinforcing me to watch this! Again, my Amazon friends have not steered me wrong. BUY THIS MOVIE!

I was recommended this by one of my amazon friends who happens to be one of the horror specialist on here. I have to say I'm happy with this purchase and I don't understand how its possible I never heard of this.

Dust Devil is a sick type of horror. It has gore a decent story and the plot is ok. A killer is going around leaving mutiliated dead bodies in his path. The cops are finding scorched and chopped up bodies. The origin of the killer and his purpose is also revealed. The movie can be pretty slow at times but it still delivers on the creepy factor and that ending is to die for.

If your looking for a constant blood bath every five minutes, you won't find that here. But you will get a pretty good horror film.

I only knew about this HORROR GEM from my Amazon
bro. M! He had it on his wish list. I remember
the cover art and saying..hmmmm. That's interesting!
I watched it for the first time last week and how
this JEWEL got passed me for so many years I will
never know? Robert Burke plays The Serial killer
Dust Devil. He is a loner through the sands of time
and space. Chelsea Field(moochie-moochie) is a runaway
housewife who keeps encountering demonic serial Burke.
I was really expecting a artsy but boring film. In
no way is this boring!!! You have skeletal faces,GORE,
Chelsea Field,GORE, severed hands,GORE,visually imaginative
GORE,head explodings,Chelsea Field and GORE!!!!
This is a serious HORROR film and worth owning.
There is nothing boring!!! I do not understand
how anyone can say that it is???????? In the first
5 min. you have Burke and some girl getting it on
fully nude and "SNAP" goes her neck. Next the Big
Bowie knife comes out and "SLIPTZZZERRUUUP" off goes
a hand!!! The house than gets a paint job from the
severed hand!!!! It's only been five minutes folks!
And that's not even the best part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUST DEVIL is FANTASTIC! And recommended for anyone's
GHOUL collection.... Did I mention there is GORE?
