Part Produced by the Weinstein brothers, who brought us Pulp Fiction etc, and distributed by their company Miramax, this film was released in the U.S under the name 'Demonica'. This cut of the movie was one that the director and writer Richard Stanley was very unhappy with. When the company responsible for distributing the movie in England went into administration 'Demonica' became the only cut of this film. That was until Richard Stanley financed a re-cut eventually getting his cut released in selected cinemas in Britain.
The story revolves around the dust devil, a man dressed in cowboy attire who roams the earth killing 'innocent' people in order that eventually he may be able to return to 'the other side'. Now in Namibia he is hitch hiking around killing freely those who are unfortunate enough to give him a ride
Although providing nice photography and some stark images the film looks very dated and is definitely not the masterpiece others have claimed it to be. It is quite entertaining at times but overall does not keep you interested for long. It is a horror, that does'nt scare and at times is quite funny and silly.
