a fairly decent little horror goody, 10 March 2004
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

Hey now, this is a fairly decent little horror goody from South Africa. At first it put me in mind of "Dust Devil" since that movie also takes place in the Namibian desert, but the resemblance ends there. A group of miners are searching the barren wastelands for missing co-workers, and not only do they find them (here, there, and everywhere) but they find something else as well. Probably they wish they'd found neither. The desert setting is always a creepy location in any movie, to me, so I found that enjoyable, but the creature effects are not only quite different from most I've seen, they are also pretty well done and far better than most computer generated junk that gets tossed together in THIS country. At some points this film gets a bit confusing and one has to really pay attention to pick up on some of what's being said due to the accents, but overall this is a decent, creepy little horror film and worth your time to have a look.
