Dust Devil (1992)
7/10
A sadly underrated haunting film
19 July 2006
This film starts with a haunting introduction, with a equally haunting film score, which leads into a sadistic murder before the "devil" moves on to trap more victims. The sad, lonely and displaced are all vulnerable and ultimately selected as victims. Magical witchcraft plays a role in trapping the devil, who will ultimately continue his shape shifting, taking on the guise of a new host to move on along the never ending path of death. This film is imaginative, well scripted, violent yet compelling. It is haunting visually, and musically. It leaves room for expanding the characterisations which it does well. It would have benefited from being half an hour longer, yet stands out as a classic cult drama of great intelligence.
