I just seen the longest version available of Dust Devil and I was looking forward to finally see it but at the end I wasn't that happy because to be honest, it wasn't my cup of tea. I had seen Hardware (1990) simply because Carl McCoy (Fields Of The Nephilim) had a role in it. Hardware I did like and Dust Devil you can feel the same atmosphere so typical for director Richard Stanley but it's the story that let me down.
I was told that it was full of gory moments and it do has a few of those moments and it even got news footage of dead bodies but it's a slow moving flick. It starts well with the dust devil slashing his victim and cutting the body in pieces, the effects used are all well and I thought that it would be a hell of a ride but all I saw were nice shoots made by Richard and somehow I was lost with the story and was looking to nature. Now and then it did offer the mentioned gore but by then for me it was too late.
Nevertheless it's a flick with much following and loved by many but for me it had too many boring moments.
