Big news for you Dust Devil fans out there.

Wendy leaves her husband, taking off into the voids of Africa. She picks up a hitchhiker, a traveling serial killer who snaps photos of his victims before killing them. Wendy does not realize the danger she is in until a police detective arrives to warn her that her "companion" is something much worse than just a killer-he is a shape-shifting demon who steals his victims' souls. Soon both the officer and Wendy become the next intended victims of the Dust Devil.

Subversive Cinema's upcoming September release of DUST DEVIL: The Final Cut is shaping up to be a FOUR-DISC boxed set, and will include a brand new HI DEF 16:9 widescreen transfer of the complete film. This is not the same transfer used for the new British release, which was taken from a 2001 standard definition transfer.

Also, they have a new commentary track that is exclusive to Subversive, and not the same as the one on the British release.

The official Subversive Cinema site - www.subversivecinema.com - has new screen grabs from the upcoming Dust Devil: The Final Cut! Specs for the disk set are as follows, from Norm Hill himself:

"I have just seen the new Hi Def 16×9 transfer of Dust Devil: The Final Cut and it is simply stunning. Not a mark or scratch anywhere. The film has such an amazing depth of field that the new sparkling colors image quality create an almost a 3-D like impression. Even the colorist at the lab could not believe the transfer.

The DVD set is going to be limited to one pressing only, 10,000 pieces and then it is gone. Period, no more.

The final disc set will include the following:
