Review: Dust Devil diary

As mentioned in the previous post, Richard Stanley's production diary for Dust Devil is online here.

I read it last night. It is indeed more interesting than the movie - it's also scarier, and it casts a lot of light on the genesis of the film (it made me wish the movie was better, or at least closer to the true events that inspired it). It's quite lengthy, but well worth your time.

I need to watch the movie again with this thing fresh in my mind - I reckon I'll enjoy it even more now. I'm thinking now that Richard Stanley is a better prose writer than filmmaker.

Super-coolness. I'd forgotten how creepy some of that stuff was.
