Review of Dust Devil (1992) by Daniel C — 04 Aug 2007

Dust Devil was beautifully shot; the framing techniques used when Texas stares at himself in the hotel room mirror elegantly displays the level of acumen that Stanley maintains throughout the movie. Similar to contemporary Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson movies with regards to aesthetic, but the racial/gender undertones of the hunt for "Texas," the supernatural stand-in for white Imperialism sets it apart from the popcorn horror of the early 90s.
