"There is magic all around us." A serial killer (Robert John Burke) walks out of the desert and across Namibia, taking victims as he goes. Along his journey he meets Wendy (Chelsea Field), who has just broken up with her husband. Her only hope seems to be a local policeman (Zakes Mokae) who is trying to track the killer using a shaman, but can he stop the 'dust devil' before he completes his task?
A mix of murder, mystery, superstition and witchcraft goes into this hauntingly disturbing film. It looks visually stunning, but is let down by the far too languid pacing. It takes far too long for you to catch on to what is happening and I'm sure many will have lost interest before the film has a chance to grab people's attention. That said it is worth sticking with as it does get interesting, and sucks you in.
