* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The movie tries to paint the Dust Devil as a TragicMonster who only wants to go back to the spirit realm, but the sheer enjoyment that he derives from its basic human pleasures, coupled with the fact that he puts many innocents in harm’s way and persuades others to want to die, and the time he takes to seduce his female victims strongly suggest otherwise.

* CompleteMonster: The unnamed [[AntagonistTitle Dust Devil]] is a malevolent wind spirit of formerly human origin. [[DemonicPossession Possessing the body]] of an American man, he wanders the deserts of South Africa preying on any suffering humans he comes across, luring them into his grasp before killing them and dismembering their bodies and [[YourSoulIsMine claiming their souls]] so he can cross over to the spirit world. With a prolific murder spree dating way back to the dawn of man, he appears to delight in bringing death and fear wherever he goes. He "saves" a woman on the brink of suicide and seduces her before attempting to kill her when she discovers his trophies, chasing her as she drives away and causing a collision that nearly results in the deaths of several bystanders. Later, he summons a sandstorm to try and kill her, and [[CopKiller mortally wounds the cop]] searching for him before possessing the woman's body and leaving her ex chained down to die in the desert.
