In a remote town in the Australian outback, a mysterious object crashes to Earth. When a human comes in contact with the object, that person becomes lifeless and deformed. These changed humans seem interested in the town's children and kill those remaining humans who stand in their way. The town's Sheriff and her deputy, along with a schoolteacher and a scientist, all try to keep as many children safe as possible and understand what is happening to the town. Ultimately, the Sheriff and her team of citizens are helped by an otherworldly force to contain the epidemic. Written by Timothy Gartin
The Dustwalker is a basic budget alien thriller from down under. Its limited funding shows from the get go but its not a bad little film.
It has the benefit of a rather unique setting that's suitably isolated, a small Australian outback town that fits in well with the back story. Having actors who actually know how to act helps this film too.
The action such as it is, is a bit mixed. Its a little too slow for my liking and its budgetary restraints stop it from doing anything novel that would have lifted it.
I think with decent money this could have been a winner but as it stands its only "ok".
5/10 from me.
