Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Dustwalker is a mess. The poster looks pretty cool and that’s about the best I can say for the movie.
What I’m sure the director thought would be tension-building scenes, came off as boring. How many times and how long can one look at people just staring ahead? Then there’s a huge dust storm that sits around the town not allowing anyone to leave. I guess we can figure out that it was put there to stop the “zombies” from going to another city. Who put it there? Well, it appears that the scorpion/dog alien that rounds up the turned humans and incinerates them did. Truthfully, I didn’t care who/what resolved the situation. I was ready for Dustwalker to end. It just didn’t resonate with me. Your mileage may vary.
Dustwalker earns 1 of 5 stars.
